In a study published in Ophthalmology, physicians followed 562 patients in the United States and India over a three-month period to identify risk factors that could be easily managed with early intervention.

Maria A. Woodward, M.D., an associate professor of ophthalmology and visual sciences and a member of the Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation, answers questions about what causes microbial keratitis, symptoms and preventative measures.

Study finds a 18.5% reduction in sick leave following LEZ implementation in Greater London compared to areas  in England without low emission zones.

A study by Dartmouth researchers lays out a scientific framework for holding individual fossil fuel companies liable for the costs of climate change by tracing specific damages back to their emissions. The researchers use the tool to provide the first causal estimate of economic losses due to extreme heat driven by emissions. They report that carbon dioxide and methane output from just 111 companies cost the world economy $28 trillion from 1991 to 2020, with the five top-emitting firms linked to $9 trillion of those losses.

MIT engineers developed a technique to grow and peel ultrathin “skins” of electronic material that could be used in applications such as night-vision eyewear and autonomous driving in foggy conditions.

Big Tech companies such as Amazon, Apple, Alphabet, Meta, and Microsoft have deeply embedded themselves into every aspect of our lives – our healthcare, education, and even politics. As these tech giants consistently stay one step ahead of regulation, the question arises: who holds these powerful players to account? Alexandra Schwinges examined the role of news media in this regard and concludes that in today’s digital age, journalism must renew its watchdog role. Schwinges will defend her PhD thesis on Friday 9 May at the University of Amsterdam.
