Cuddling literally strengthens your heart and lowers blood pressure.

Cuddling isn't just a warm and fuzzy experience — it has real health benefits that can improve your heart and overall well-being.

When you snuggle up with someone you care about, your body releases oxytocin, often called the "love hormone," which helps lower stress and reduce levels of cortisol, the hormone responsible for anxiety. This natural relaxation response can lower blood pressure, easing the strain on your heart. While studies suggest women may experience this benefit more strongly, both men and women can enjoy the heart-healthy effects of physical affection.

Beyond heart health, cuddling also has pain-relieving properties. The oxytocin released during a warm embrace can block pain signals, offering natural relief from discomfort.

This effect is so powerful that researchers are exploring ways to harness oxytocin for medical treatments. Whether it’s a hug, a snuggle, or simply holding hands, these small gestures can have a big impact on your emotional and physical health. So the next time you’re feeling stressed or in pain, consider reaching out for a cuddle—it might be just what your body needs.

A new treatment uses soundwaves to destroy tumors without surgery or radiation.

This revolutionary cancer treatment, called histotripsy, is changing the game when it comes to fighting cancer.

Approved by the FDA, this non-invasive therapy utilizes ultrasound waves that target cancer cells with pinpoint precision, breaking them apart instantly without harming surrounding tissues. Providence Mission Hospital is at the forefront of this groundbreaking treatment, providing new hope for patients like Chris Donaldson, who faced limited options after his ocular melanoma spread to his liver.

Unlike traditional methods, histotripsy leaves behind benign genetic material, potentially strengthening the body's immune response against cancer.

One of histotripsy’s key advantages is that it requires no incisions, making recovery quicker and less painful. Using degassed water to focus the soundwaves, doctors can liquefy tumors without damaging nearby organs, allowing for repeat treatments as necessary. Patients like Donaldson, who had been given a grim prognosis, are now experiencing remarkable results—his liver remains cancer-free months after the procedure. As research continues, experts believe this innovative approach could be expanded to treat other cancers, including those affecting the thyroid and breast. For many, histotripsy represents not just a medical breakthrough, but a second chance at life.

Scientists from the AM have helped uncover fossils of giant sea scorpions that prowled the oceans 444 million years ago.

Alongside a team of scientists from the American Museum of Natural History and the WB Clarke Geoscience Centre, they have new evidence that suggests the creatures known as eurypterids, were once found in Australia.

The team carefully examined rock formations in New South Wales, where they discovered fossils that suggest eurypterids inhabited the area.

Scientists believe that changes in climate and environmental conditions likely led to their extinction, though the exact cause remains a mystery.

American Mineralogist:
Tourmaline chemical and boron isotopic constraints on the magmatic-hydrothermal transition and rare-metal mineralization in alkali granitic systems
https://doi.org/10.2138/am-2023-9131
Wu et al. applied tourmaline chemistry and B isotopes to unravel processes at the magmatic-hydrothermal transition that are responsible for rare-metal partitioning in the Huoshibulake and Tamu REE-Nb-mineralized intrusions in Southern Tianshan, SW Central Asian Orogenic Belt. Several key findings are: (1) The Huoshibulake and Tamu rare-metal alkali granites show multi-generation crystallization of tourmaline. (2) Tourmaline chemistry and boron isotopes can be used to reconstruct the magmatic-hydrothermal evolution. (3) Saturation of fluorite during the magmatic-hydrothermal transition is a critical factor in determining the rare-metal enrichment and deposition.

Ground‐Motion Modeling of the 2016 Mw 6.2 Amatrice, Italy, Earthquake, by a Broadband Hybrid Kinematic Approach, Including Empirical Site Effects

Central Italy experiences moderate to large earthquakes, like the 2016 magnitude 6.4 Amatrice earthquake that occurred as a result of shallow extension.

In a new paper, scientists from Charles University and INGV Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia use a rupture model to simulate seismic waves produced by the Amatrice earthquake up to a frequency of 10 Hz. Then, they simulated ground motions at 400 virtual stations and compared those with predictions of an empirical nonergodic ground motion model for Central Italy (remember that nonergodic means that source, path and site effects are considered). The simulations and predictions showed good agreement. For more, please visit the paper.
