BOSTON — A groundbreaking new study has uncovered a potential link between a popular weight loss and diabetes medication and an increased risk of sudden vision loss. The drug in question, semaglutide, sold under brand names like Ozempic and Wegovy, has been hailed as a game-changer in the fight against obesity and Type 2 diabetes. However, this research suggests it may come with an unexpected and serious side-effect.

It’s been a common belief that it’s a bad idea to eat before bed, mostly because it’ll make you gain weight. The reality is that it isn’t that simple, and the thinking behind this theory is actually pretty controversial. Most nutrition and sleep experts agree that eating a full-sized meal right before bed isn’t ideal, but a light snack isn’t likely to cause any issues. As a dietitian, I recommend not eating at all or just keeping it to a light snack two to three hours before bed.

Whether you’re left, right or ambidextrous, “handedness” is part of our identity. But a lot of people don’t realize that we have other biases too and they are not unique to humans. My colleagues and I have published a new study that shows aligning our biases in the same way as other people may have social benefits.

Here’s why most people are right-handed but actually left-eye dominant

What makes a Zodiac Sign low maintenance? Independence can make someone low maintenance. Someone who is reliable, dependable, and punctual, can make someone low maintenance. Someone who tends to want to do things on their own can be low maintenance. Low-maintenance people tend to be those people who do on their own but are not necessarily alone.

LEEDS, England — The reality of the climate impact of long-distance passenger travel has been revealed in new research from the University of Leeds. Despite only accounting for less than 3% of all trips by UK residents, journeys of more than 50 miles (one way) are responsible for 70% of all passenger travel-related carbon emissions.

Every living cell transcribes DNA into RNA. This process begins when an enzyme called RNA polymerase (RNAP) clamps onto DNA. Within a few hundred milliseconds, the DNA double helix unwinds to form a node known as the transcription bubble, so that one exposed DNA strand can be copied into a complementary RNA strand.

Researchers capture never-before-seen view of gene transcription

With the help of carbonate deposits, researchers have been able to reconstruct the development of the former water mills of Barbegal over time. Archaeologists face a major challenge when they intend to acquire information about buildings or facilities of which only ruins remain. This was a particular challenge for the remnants of the Roman water mills in Barbegal in Southern France, dating back to the 2nd century CE. This unique industrial complex consisted of 16 water wheels placed in parallel rows, eight on the east and eight on the west side, which were operated in a waterfall-like arrangement. Little could at first be deduced about the site from these now scant ruins – except that the wheels were supplied by an aqueduct that brought water from the surrounding hills. A coin issued during the reign of the Emperor Trajan discovered in a basin above the mill complex as well as the structural characteristics of the site indicate that the mill was in use for about 100 years. However, the type of mill wheels, their function and how they were employed has remained a mystery until now.

Most of us who engage in heavy alcohol use do so to self-medicate. And we self-medicate because we don’t know how to feel, process, and sit with our uncomfortable emotions. There are many ways to avoid uncomfortable feelings; heavy alcohol use is just one way (among many) to numb out, avoid, or escape. A lot of us who have abused alcohol, myself included, do so to regulate our emotions, or we think we are regulating our emotions through self-medication.

Opinion: Heavy Alcohol Use Increases Emotional Dysregulation
