Psychologists believe that our brains continuously predict what is going to happen next in a piece of music. So, when the music stops, your brain may still have expectations about what should happen next. A new [...]

Researchers have developed a new use for Renishaw’s Raman spectroscopy solutions in assessing the healthiness of sperm cells.
The inability to have children creates great heartache for many couples. The most common cause is male infertility, usually characterised by sperm cells with low mobility in which genetic material (DNA) is often damaged. Unfortunately, DNA damage in [...]

The November issue of European Urology, the official journal of the European Association of Urology, features an article focussing on prostate specific antigen (PSA) velocity and early cancer detection. It has been suggested that changes in PSA over time aid prostate cancer detection.

A new statistical model could be used to predict an individual’s lifetime risk of stroke, finds a study from the Children’s Hospital Informatics Program (CHIP). Using genetic information from 569 hospital patients, the researchers showed that their predictive model could estimate an individual’s overall risk of cardioembolic stroke — the most common form of stroke [...]
