Tesla CEO Elon Musk said this week that the U.S. must "stop the infighting" in order to be competitive with China, warning that the world's second-largest economy will someday dwarf America's output. "What we’re going to see with China, for the first time that anyone can remember who is alive,...

MILLIONS of Brits have been urged to take up a rapid test to see if they have bowel cancer. The Health Secretary has called on men over 60 to make sure they have the life-saving checkups. It couldn't be easier - with a home testing kit on offer, or use...

A plethora of downright bizarre scientific research from the Department of Defense previously kept under wraps has been uncovered, revealing an array of peculiar schemes proposed by the United States military. One outlandish proposal suggested detonating nuclear bombs on the moon to create a tunnel through it. Millions in taxpayer dollars were spent on the research, which appears to have relied on a contractor, Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Studies, which was owned by multi-millionaire Robert Bigelow, a hotel impresario. The public was kept in the dark until now regarding what research was being funded.

Walking at a brisk pace for just 75 minutes every week could cut your risk of depression, a new study finds. The World Health Organization recommends everyone should exercise for at least two-and-a-half hours every seven days. But researchers at Cambridge University, England, found adults who got half as much...

Tragic events like wars, famines, earthquakes, and accidents create fearful memories in our brain. These memories continue to haunt us even after the actual event has passed. Luckily, researchers from Tokyo University of Science (TUS) have recently been able to understand the hidden biochemical mechanisms involved in the selective suppression of fearful memories, which is called fear extinction. The researchers, who had previously demonstrated fear extinction in mice using the chemically synthesized compound "KNT-127," have now identified the underlying mechanism of this compound's action. Their findings have been published recently in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison warned China and the Solomon Islands against allowing a Chinese naval base on the islands, saying it was a "red line."

Christine Bronstein took at home colon cancer test after seeing blood in her stool. It was positive, but her doctor texted: "You don't have cancer :)"

Shielding those vulnerable to COVID-19, while allowing the virus to spread, largely unmitigated, through the rest of the population, would have failed according to a new modeling paper published today in PLOS Global Public Health by University of Bath scientists. Shielding strategies or "focused protection", as advocated for in the...

Randomized clinical trials are a tool to generate high-quality evidence of efficacy and safety for new interventions. The statistical analysis plan (SAP) of a trial is generally pre-specified and documented prior to seeing outcome data, and it is encouraged that researchers follow the pre-specified analysis plan. The process of pre-specification of the primary analysis involves making assumptions about methods, models, and data that may not be supported by the final trial data. Sensitivity analysis examines the robustness of the result by conducting the analyses under a range of plausible assumptions about the methods, models, or data that differ from the assumptions used in the pre-specified primary analysis. If the results of the sensitivity analyses are consistent with the primary results, researchers can be confident that the assumptions made for the primary analysis have had little impact on the results, giving strength to the trial findings. Recent guidance documents for statistical principles have emphasized the importance of sensitivity analysis in clinical trials to ensure a robust assessment of the observed results [1].

European Journal of Human Genetics (2022)Cite this article. Identifying appropriate outcomes for programs such as reproductive genetic carrier screening (RGCS) is important. Knowing which outcomes should be measured or evaluated is vital for assessing program success. Richardson et al. in this issue [1] review qualitative data on patient-reported outcomes in RGCS and provide valuable insights to inform the development of a core outcome set for RGCS.
