This year, two of the distinguished grand marshals are being posthumously honored for their compassion, generosity, and humanitarian work.

Saunas are all the rage these days for exercise recovery and longevity, because the increased ambient heat triggers a cascade of effects in the body that can lower blood pressure and reduce inflammation. But, how many of us have access to a sauna? That’s why researchers from the University of Oregon compared the effects of […] The post Soaking in a Hot Tub Bestows Surprising Health Benefits, Even More Than Saunas, New Study Says appeared first on Good News Network.

The four crew members gave their first press conference since they splashed down nearly a week ago, and emphasised hope and unity.

A new national cohort study provides important insights into the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). The study shows that long-term disease-free survival rates are significantly higher than previous standard indicators suggest. The results, published in The Lancet Regional Health Europe, are based on the analysis of data from 1,299 adult patients treated between 2005 and 2021. The study was in collaboration with researchers from the clinical tuberculosis infrastructure (ClinTB) at the German Center for Infection Research (DZIF) at the Research Center Borstel, Leibniz Lung Center (FZB).

The recovery of the ozone layer in Earth's stratosphere could be delayed by several years, according to an international study led by Swiss research institution Empa which included contributions from University of Bristol researchers. The cause is persistent emissions of so-called feedstock chemicals, which are still permitted as raw materials in industry. These ozone-depleting substances have so far been excluded from international agreements because, according to the current study, their emissions and use have been significantly underestimated.

Can listening to forests help us understand if the life inside them is thriving? Apparently, yes. Giacomo Delgado likens it to a doctor examining heart health. “A doctor has listened to many people’s hearts, and knows what healthy hearts sound like,” Delgado, a doctoral researcher in the Department of Environmental Systems Science at ETH Zürich, […]

Egg freezing is becoming increasingly popular, yet most people who freeze their eggs never return to use them. When imposed storage limits are reached, individuals must choose whether to discard unused eggs, donate them to others for reproductive use, or donate them to research; although many say their preference is to donate to research, actual donations remain rare, leaving a valuable resource largely unused for scientific progress.

The ozone layer has been on track to recover thanks to the Montreal Protocol—but a loophole may be holding it back. Chemicals still permitted for industrial use are leaking into the atmosphere at higher rates than expected. Scientists now estimate this could delay ozone recovery by up to seven years. Closing this gap could speed up healing and reduce harmful UV exposure worldwide.

Often hailed as the most successful international environmental agreement of all time, the 1987 Montreal Protocol continues to successfully phase out the global production of chemicals that were creating a growing hole in the ozone layer, causing skin cancer and other adverse health effects.

The next step for Gerrit Cole: actual games that are expected to lead to his season debut.

4 things to know about the weather: Records likely Thursday, Saturday A bit cooler Friday Chilly, rainy Sunday Some 30s Tuesday morning All three of our major airports set new record highs Wednesday and are expected to do so again Thursday and maybe Saturday too. Skies will be a bit more cloudy Thursday and there will be a small chance for a passing shower or two from late Thursday evening until early Friday morning. Southwest winds Thursday will become northwest on Friday and that will help to hold temperatures down somewhat. Friday will be only about 15° above average whereas Thursday will be more like 25° above average. Saturday will be a bit more tricky of a temperature forecast as the wind turns back to the south and southeast ahead of a strong cold front that will arrive first thing Sunday morning. The D.C. metro area and much of the I-95 corridor are likely to be near 90° Saturday while a Bay breeze could keep Annapolis and much of the Western Shore
