Eye-tracking technology helps researchers see IV pump safety through student nurses' eyes

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst are using eye-tracking technology to help understand how nurses interact with intravenous smart pumps, providing a new way to identify design flaws in systems associated with more medication errors than any other route of adm

Going from the lab into the fire to study cancer risk in wildland firefighters

Cancer researchers at the Sylvester Firefighter Cancer Initiative (SFCI), part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, took a rare step to better understand the cancer risks wildland firefighters face: They became wildland firefighters themselves. The firsthand expe

Human red blood cells form without central 'hub' seen in mouse models, upending understand

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that one of the body's most fundamental biological processes—how red blood cells are made—works differently in humans than previously thought, according to a new study published in Nature Genetics. The findings overturn decades of

Precision fMRI maps prefrontal cortex in individuals, revealing fine-scale structures

Much like camera settings—filters, flashes and focus—affect what we notice in a final photo, the way scientists measure something can affect how we interpret and understand it. This is especially true when imaging things that we can't see on our own, such as activity in the human

AI tool can identify biological profiles associated with thrombosis risk

Two people may be the same age and have similar family histories or risk factors, yet only one of them may develop thrombosis. To better understand why this occurs, researchers from the Complex Disease Genomics Unit at the Sant Pau Research Institute (IR Sant Pau) and the Biomedi

Chromatin hubs help decide whether T cells fight chronic threats or fail

Chronic and viral infections can literally exhaust certain key cells in the immune system from a constant barrage of attacks. But a new pair of papers by scientists at the Hackensack Meridian Center for Discovery and Innovation (CDI) points to a way to understand how this exhaust
