How a bacterium supports healing of chronic diabetic wounds Image: iStock/Manjurul How a bacterium supports healing of chronic diabetic wounds New research from Penn Medicine shows that a certain bug could be used to develop topical or bacterial-based treatments for patients with wounds that do not heal well on their own.
Wildfire smoke increases dementia risk more than other forms of air pollution, landmark study finds Penn In the News Los Angeles Times Wildfire smoke increases dementia risk more than other forms of air pollution, landmark study finds A study by Holly Elser of the Perelman School of Medicine finds that exposure to wildfire smoke increases the odds of being diagnosed with dementia even more than exposure to other forms of air pollution. Study: Public trust in courts erodes to lowest levels in 20 years Penn In the News KYW Newsradio (Philadelphia) Study: Public trust in courts erodes to lowest levels in 20 years A report by Shawn Patterson Jr. of the Annenberg Public Policy Center and colleagues draws on 20 years of surveys to show how trust in the courts has quickly and precipitously declined. Dementia risk rises with wildfire smoke exposure. Here’s how to protect yourself Penn In the News MarketWatch Dementia risk rises with wildfire smoke exposure. Here’s how to protect yourself A study by Holly Elser of the Perelman School of Medicine finds that wildfire smoke exposure can contribute to cognitive decline.

Does heat travel differently in tight spaces? Hugo Ulloa and Daisuke Noto of the School of Arts & Sciences have unearthed findings that address long-standing mysteries in the mechanics of fluids in confined, tight spaces: how their boundaries affect heat as it emanates from one place and dissipates throughout the space. The image above is a lab-scale hydrothermal system modeled utilizing a Hele-Shaw cell of 10 cm tall, 20 cm long and 4 mm gap. The interior of the Hele-Shaw cell is filled with degassed, deionized water heated from the bottom and cooled from above. A green laser sheet crosses the middle plane of the cell to visualize the motions of micro-scale particles seeded on the water, allowing researchers to estimate the fluid velocity and temperature.
