Longitudinal changes in quality of life before and after thyroidectomy in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer
CONCLUSIONS: For DTC patients, HR-QOL experienced a significant drop 3 months post-surgery, subsequently showing gradual improvement, surpassing preoperative QOL by 5 years. Factors contributing to improved physical QOL included the utilization of remote-access thyroidectomy, less extensive thyroidectomy, and the absence of RAI ablation and hypoparathyroidism.PMID:38141213 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgad748 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

A ghostly quasiparticle rooted in a century-old Italian mystery could unlock quantum computing ’s potential
Santa Barbara, California —Reclusive and disaffected, Ettore Majorana liked to work in the shadows. But after his friend Emilio Segrè dragged him into Enrico Fermi’s elite Roman physics club in the late 1920s, Majorana’s stature in atomic physics quickly grew. His mostly unpublished premonitions were eerily prescient: Among others, he famously intuited the existence of the neutron from prior experiments. And in 1937, he conjured up a completely new kind of particle . Physicists had learned that every fundamental particle seems to have an antimatter counterpart, an idea Segrè would later earn a Nobel ...

Advancing Suicide Intervention Strategies for Teens (ASSIST): study protocol for a multisite randomised controlled trial
This study has been approved by the Seattle Children’s Institutional Review Board and is monitored by external agencies including the University of Washington Institute for Translational Health Sciences, and a National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)-appointed Data Safety and Monitoring Board. Trial results will help establish evidence towards safe and effective treatment strategies for youth transitioning from acute to outpatient care due to a suicidal crisis. The data will be shared with the NIMH Data Archives and disseminated through publications and conferences. Trial registration number NCT05078970. (Source: BMJ Open)

Birds that lead people to honey recognize local calls from their human helpers
When people in the Niassa Special Reserve of northern Mozambique hanker for something sweet, they don’t call DoorDash or Uber Eats. They call a bird. The aptly named honeyguide will lead them to a bee nest so they can harvest the honey. The bird obtains a treat, too—scrumptious wax and bee larvae. A new study suggests this partnership, which occurs in several places in Africa, is even more intricate than scientists thought. People in different regions make unique sounds to summon the birds, and the birds recognize and respond to calls from their local area , researchers report today in Science . The...

Not all organs age the same. ‘Older’ ones may predict your risk of disease
You’re only as old as you feel, so the adage goes. But new research suggests you may really be as old as your oldest organ. Scientists say they have developed a simple, blood test–based method to measure the speed of aging in individual organs such as the heart and brain. When an organ is substantially “older” than a person’s actual age, the risk of death and diseases related to that part of the body shoots up, the researchers report today in Nature . The team’s findings are compelling, says Daniel Belsky, an epidemiologist at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health and co...
