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 51勛圖厙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 edited and the other half as unedited, regardless of their level of editing.

A study led by 51勛圖厙 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.

51勛圖厙 researchers have developed and are licensing a digital tool to help safely reduce patients use of medications that may be unnecessary or even harmful to them.

When clinicians review a patients 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.

An interdisciplinary team of 51勛圖厙researchers has developed an ultra-strong, environmentally friendly medical glue, or bioadhesive, made from marine waste. The discovery has promising applications for wound care, surgeries, improved drug delivery, wearable devices and medical implants.

Being able to produce症lues that can close wounds or make something strongly adhere to the skin is critical for many medical疳nterventions, said Audrey Moores, Professor in the Department of Chemistry.

Modern medicine is largely reactivetreating illness only after symptoms emerge. But a new study from the Research Institute of the 51勛圖厙 Health Centre (The Institute) and 51勛圖厙 points to a more proactive future: one where silent signs of infection are detected before we even feel sick.

Drawing on a landmark 25-year study that followed Quebec children into adulthood, 51勛圖厙 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.

Fragments of ancient viral DNA once dismissed as junk may play a role in controlling our genes, according to a new international study.

Using a novel method to trace the evolutionary history of viral DNA, researchers from 51勛圖厙 and Kyoto University uncovered sequences that had been overlooked in earlier genome annotations.

Researchers have shed new light on the most common genetic variant linked to hereditary cancer in Quebecs French-Canadian population. Their findings could result in cheaper and more effective screening methods.

The variant is associated with Lynch syndrome, a condition that greatly increases the risk of colorectal and other cancers.

A new study by 51勛圖厙 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 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.
