In a 10-year period in the early 2000’s, hospital-based (nosocomial) infections increased by 123%, and this number is increasing as time goes on. The purpose of this experiment was to use hyaluronic acid, silver nanoparticles, and a bacteriophage cocktail to create a hydrogel that promotes wound healing by increasing cell proliferation while simultaneously disrupting biofilm formation and breaking down Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which are two strains of bacteria that attribute to nosocomial infections and are increasing in antibiotic resistance.

Previously established data indicate that cemeteries have contributed to groundwater and soil pollution, as embalming fluids can impact the microbiomes that exist in decomposing remains. In this study, Caputo et al hypothesized that microbial variation would be high between cemeteries from different eras due to dissimilarities between embalming techniques employed, and furthermore, that specific microbes would act as an indication for certain contaminants. Overall, they found that there is a variation in the microbiomes of the different eras’ cemeteries according to the concentrations of the phyla and their more specific taxa.

Here the author investigates how much heat energy is output and recovered from a conventional electric light bulb.

Wearing sunglasses may offer protection against the negative health outcomes linked to exposure to ultraviolet waves. In this study, the authors test whether more expensive sunglasses offer better UV protection.

Clean drinking water is an essential component to maintaining public health. The authors of this study tested the bacterial load of water from three different disinfection and filtration systems in order to determine which system might be superior.

The authors assessed the correlation between the stock, commodity, and consumer markets with the housing market.

The authors re-examine the galactic kinematics of relic galaxy NGC 1277, recently identified as dark matter deficient, by reproducing its rotation curve with data from the George and Cynthia Mitchell Spectrograph.

The authors assess incidence and mortality rates of two cancer types in relation to trihalomethane pollutant concentrations in drinking water.

AI analysis of brain scans offers promise for helping doctors diagnose brain tumors. Haider and Drosis explore this field by developing machine learning models that classify brain scans as "cancer" or "non-cancer" diagnoses.

The authors develop a method for detecting fake AI-generated images from real images.
