The Israeli military on Thursday released the results of its first internal investigation into the Oct. 7 Hamas attack, acknowledging serious failures in the defense of Kibbutz Be’eri, a hard-hit town on the Gaza border, but stopping short of holding individual commanders accountable and leaving key questions unanswered.The report said “serious mistakes and errors” were made in the military response as Hamas overran the community. The military was underprepared and did not always prioritize civilian lives, it said. The report details how IDF forces remained standing nearby during the afternoon while residents were killed.”While troops waited outside the kibbutz throughout…

Muscle fibers are multi-layered, soft, moist, active engines. Credit: Natural Physics (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41567-024-02540-x A study from the University of Michigan suggests that the flow of water within muscle fibers may affect how fast muscles contract. Nearly all animals use muscles for movement, and it has long been known that muscles, like other cells, are composed of about 70% water. However, researchers do not know what determines the range and upper limits of muscle performance. Previous studies of muscle function have focused only on how muscles function under specific conditions. Molecular Level It’s not about how muscle fibers are shaped,…

Nearly one in 10 infected people coronavirus A study published Thursday in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology found that some women developed long-covid symptoms during pregnancy.Thursday’s study, which focused on the impact of the virus during pregnancy, suggests that long-term COVID is more prevalent among people infected during pregnancy than among the general population. According to a 2022 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 7% of Americans report having symptoms related to long-term COVID. Some studies suggest that the incidence of long-term COVID in the general population is much higher.Long Covid has been a preoccupation for researchers…

Detection of modern human to Neanderthal gene flow (H→N) and its consequences. Modern human–Neanderthal admixture caused a local increase in heterozygosity in the Neanderthal genome, a feature that enabled methods to quantify and detect introgressed sequences. Using modern human introgression sequences in the Neanderthal genome, we refined estimates of Neanderthal ancestry in modern humans by decomposing segments detected by IBDmix into those attributable to human-to-Neanderthal gene flow (H→N) and Neanderthal-to-human gene flow (N→H) in 2000 modern individuals. We also used modern human introgression sequences to estimate the effective population size of Neanderthals (Ne) than previously estimated, suggesting that a second…

summary: A new study investigates how to predict the rate of cognitive decline in people with early-stage Alzheimer’s disease and whether new drugs could slow this progression. The researchers found that predictive models can estimate the rate of decline, but with some uncertainty.These models may ultimately help answer practical questions about patients’ quality of life. The findings highlight the possibility of new therapies to slow cognitive impairment.Key Facts:Prediction model: It was developed to estimate the rate of cognitive decline in early Alzheimer’s disease.Drug Effects: New drugs could potentially slow the decline by up to 30%.Future use: The model could help…
