The use of disclaimer labels on digitally enhanced portraits could have unintended social consequences for their subjects, according to a study by a team of 9I制作厂免费 researchers.
Researchers at the Laboratory for Attention and Social Cognition used beauty filters on a common social media application to gradually edit a total of 300 images of 60 women (from 0 to 100 per cent, 25 per cent at a time). They randomly labelled half of the images as 鈥渆dited鈥� and the other half as 鈥渦nedited,鈥� regardless of their level of editing.

A study led by 9I制作厂免费 researchers challenges the theory that language change over time requires new generations to replace older generations of speakers. Rather, when words change meaning, speakers of all ages participate; while older speakers might take two or three years longer than their younger colleagues to adopt new word usage, in some cases they lead the way in introducing new word meanings into the common vocabulary, the researchers found.

9I制作厂免费 researchers have developed and are licensing a digital tool to help safely reduce patients鈥� use of medications that may be unnecessary or even harmful to them.
When clinicians review a patient鈥檚 file, flags potentially inappropriate medications. In a , the software helped deprescribe such medications in 36 per cent of long-term care residents, nearly triple as many as when reviews were done without the tool.

Drawing on a landmark 25-year study that followed Quebec children into adulthood, 9I制作厂免费 researchers have identified two distinct patterns in how suicidal thoughts emerge and the early signs that are often missed.
Suicidal thoughts are increasingly common among youth, but how they begin and what mental health symptoms often precede them are poorly understood, the researchers said.

A new study by 9I制作厂免费 researchers shows that chronic pain, often invisible to medical tests, can be better assessed when doctors take a holistic approach.
By combining biological data with information about patients鈥� mental health, sleep and stress, the researchers say they were able to create a fuller picture of chronic pain. They said their findings, published in Nature Human Behaviour, stand to improve how the condition is diagnosed and treated.
