Doing some physical activity improves the ability to think and process information. A research has shown this to be true for both primary school and secondary school pupils.

Blood and urine analyses from vapers confirmed they had absorbed chemicals from e-cigarette chemicals that researchers know are linked to cancer.

Placebo treatments can trigger measurable changes in the brain, immune system and hormone function. In studies on pain, placebos cause the brain to release endorphins, the body’s natural opioids. In Parkinson’s disease, placebo injections increase dopamine activity in the brain. The placebo effect isn’t magic. It’s biology.

It is undeniable that causal-aware AI systems have the potential to accelerate drug discovery, optimise personalised treatment recommendations, and even offer novel mechanistic solutions across the breadth of biomedical science and medicine.

Pregnancy makes large-scale changes to a mother’s body. But as soon as the baby is delivered, these changes usually reverse back to baseline – often quicker than they happened during pregnancy. This sometimes means the body fails to adapt, leading to various health conditions.

In a landscape where medicines are often judged by how familiar they feel, codeine is a reminder that common does not always mean simple. Used carefully, it can help. Used carelessly, it can cause problems that last long after the pain itself has passed.

This new material offers a cheap, scalable way to make surfaces such as phones and hospital equipment far less likely to spread disease.

At first glance, Rajasthan’s Kishangarh appears like a vast stretch of sparkling white glacier, or Bolivia’s salt flats, if you must. However, labelled as a toxic tourist destination for dangerously high levels of silicate, nitrate and fluoride, the site continues to be open to visitors.

Bixonimania is not an isolated case. Being deceived – whether you are a person or an AI model – is concerningly common, in science and beyond.

The story behind this latest wave of anxiety doesn’t come from a definitive, landmark trial. It comes from a brief presentation at a scientific conference, based on 187 people with early‑onset lung cancer.

Its seeds are effective throughout a full treatment cycle, including flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration.

A recent study published in the journal Nature Microbiology found that when soil dries out, it can speed up the natural processes that create and spread antibiotic resistance.
