HONG KONG (8 January 2025) — Recognised for his leading position in digital medicine, Professor Yu Xinge from the Department of Biomedical Engineering at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) was honoured with the 3rd Zhong Nanshan Youth Science and Technology Innovation Award. This prestigious accolade recognises exceptional young scientists in medicine and life sciences.
Inflammation of the heart muscle, also known as myocarditis, can be caused by various viral infections. Parvovirus B19, known for inducing rashes in children and infants, has recently drawn attention as a potential risk factor for myocarditis in infants. In this research letter, researchers study and report cases of myocarditis in preschool students caused by parvovirus B19 infections. The letter aims to shed light on the detrimental effect of the disease to increase awareness.
In a recent study published in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine, middle aged workers in the U.S. who reported high job strain at the start of the study experienced significantly more sleep disturbances over an average follow-up of nine years.
In an article published in the Journal of Accounting Research, researchers have developed a novel method to assess depression in CEOs by using machine learning models to analyze vocal acoustic features from conference call recordings.
Macronucleophagy helps control micronucleophagy to protect yeast cells during stress. Through extensive experiments with yeast mutants, researchers from Science Tokyo found that disrupting macronucleophagy triggers excessive micronucleophagy, causing cell death. They further identified that this hyperactivation is driven by the accumulation of Nuclear vacuolar junction (Nvj1), a key nuclear membrane protein. These findings shed light on the links between different autophagy pathways under challenging conditions, which are crucial to maintain cell health.
