New method finds biomarker for inflammatory bowel disease

Air temperature survival limits are greatly reduced in humid heat, and more so for older adults. The corresponding wet-bulb temperatures in dry weather are dramatically lower than the previously assumed limit of 95F or 35C. A wet bulb temperature of only 78F on a dry Phoenix summer day would be considered unsurvivable, yet it would take air temperatures of 128F under 10% relative humidity to reach that limit.

Gut microbiome fluctuates throughout the day and across seasons

New research finds there is significant variation in the anatomy of the human digestive system, with pronounced differences possible between healthy individuals. The finding has implications for understanding the role that the digestive tract’s anatomy can play in affecting human health, as well as providing potential insights into medical diagnoses and the microbial ecosystem of the gut. In this photo, a researcher takes a gut measurement in the lab.
