#Researchers wanted to ascertain how #RisingTemperatures & thawing #permafrost are affecting the movement of the #Arctic ’s large rivers. A #NewStudy #published in #Nature #ClimateChange found that such #rivers channel #migration is actually decreasing. Rivers across #Alaska & #Canada ’s #Yukon & #NorthwestTerritories migrated 20% less between 1972 and 2020, a period when the region’s temperatures spiked.

A #NewStudy has identified gaps in the testing & treatment of #hepatitisC among #FirstNations #communities in #Ontario - highlighting where to direct efforts to eliminate the #ViralInfection that can cause serious #liver damage.
The study, published in the #CMAJ on Tuesday, provides clarity about the extent to which First Nations communities in the province are affected by hepatitis C & informs further steps that are needed to address high rates of infection.

#NewStudy in #MycoKeys contrasts accumulation of #FungalSpecies recovered using traditional #mycological approaches w/those recovered w/ #environmental #DNA sequencing. Even when allowing for various kinds of biases, authors found that #SpeciesDiscovery through #environmental sequencing vastly outpaces traditional #species #recovery in a strongly increasing trend over the last 5 years. The authors conclude that dark #fungi form a defining feature of the #fungal kingdom.

Over the last decade, #scientists have explored the association between #GutMicrobiota & the #brain & affected #neurologic manifestations. These #studies have indicated that #gut #microbiota #influences #neurogenesis , #behavior , #emotions , #CognitiveDevelopment & progression of #neuropsychiatric diseases. A #NewStudy published in the journal #FrontiersInMedicine reviewed recent literature on the link between gut microbiota, the brain & #NeurologicalDisorders.

According to the #NewStudy in both populations females were the best at catching prey. Female northern resident #orcas were also more efficient compared to males as they spent more time foraging. Tennessen says the southern resident orcas had “completely opposite behavior.” Males captured more prey and spent more time foraging compared to females.

#NewStudy: “#COVID19 infection was associated with increased risk of diabetes. This risk persisted as the Omicron variant became predominant. Diabetes risk after COVID-19 infection was higher in unvaccinated than vaccinated patients, suggesting a benefit of vaccination” https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2801415
#NewStudy “Vaccines were generally estimated to be effective against severe outcomes caused by SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infection, this analysis found that protection in older patients was more likely to wane 6 months after the second dose. Hence, a booster dose is recommended for older patients to restore immunity” #covid19 https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2800935
Report finds faculty diversity isn’t meeting student needs
Faculty diversity is positively associated with student success across a variety of metrics. Black and Latino students are more likely to graduate when they see themselves represented in their instructors, for instance. #Diversity #NewStudy #education

Scientists identify sleep habits that significantly increase dementia risk
Researchers from China, Sweden, and the United Kingdom found that sleep for more than eight hours increased dementia risk by 69%, while sleeping before 9 p.m. rather than 10 p.m. or later, increased dementia risk by two times. #NewStudy #Sleep #Geriatrics
