The head of Iran's atomic energy organisation, Mohammad Eslami, has arrived in Moscow for talks, Russia's state-run RIA news agency quoted the Iranian embassy as saying on Monday. The 15-member UN Security Council earlier opted not to permanently lift sanctions on Tehran, after three European countries launched a 30-day process last month to reimpose them, accusing Tehran of failing to abide by a 2015 deal with world powers aimed at preventing it from developing a nuclear weapon. Iran denies having any such intention, and Russia says it supports Tehran's right to peaceful nuclear energy. Eslami is also Iran's vice president....

In Stephen King's first novel, 1974's Carrie, he brings up Bob Dylan not just once but several times. "Elsewhere in this book," he writes, "mention is made of a page in one of Carrie White's school notebooks where a line from a famous rock poet of the '60s, Bob Dylan, was written repeatedly, as if in desperation." The line in question is from "Just Like a Woman:" "Nobody has to guess that baby can't be blessed / 'Til she finally sees that she's like all the rest." Don't worry, we're not going to spoil Carrie for you. What we would...

A new study has found that caffeine, the world's most consumed psychoactive substances, may impair the quality of donated blood and reduce the effectiveness of transfusions—especially in recipients whose red blood cell (RBC) metabolism is influenced by a common genetic variant. The REDS RBC-Omics study, which analyzed samples from over 13,000 blood donors, the study reveals higher levels of caffeine in the blood are linked to RBCs that are more prone to damage during storage and less effective after transfusion. In a clinical setting, transfusions of RBCs with relatively high levels of caffeine resulted in lower increases in patients' hemoglobin...

Some sugar substitutes may come with unexpected consequences for long-term brain health, according to a study. The study examined seven low- and no-calorie sweeteners and found that people who consumed the highest amounts experienced faster declines in thinking and memory skills compared to those who consumed the lowest amounts. The link was even stronger in people with diabetes. The artificial sweeteners examined in the study were aspartame, saccharin, acesulfame-K, erythritol, xylitol, sorbitol and tagatose. The study included 12,772 adults from across Brazil. The average age was 52, and participants were followed for an average of eight years. Researchers divided them...

Researchers have found that a single injection of the antibiotic benzathine penicillin G (BPG) successfully treated early syphilis just as well as the three-injection regimen used by many clinicians in the United States and elsewhere. These findings from a late-stage clinical trial suggest the second and third doses of conventional BPG therapy do not provide a health benefit. Syphilis is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. Without treatment, syphilis can result in neurological and organ damage as well as severe pregnancy complications and congenital abnormalities. Syphilis can also increase a person's likelihood of acquiring...

Archaeologists found a 1,600-year-old coin hoard dating to the final Jewish revolt against Romans.Archaeologists have unearthed a rare hoard of 1,600-year-old copper coins in Galilee, and the coins may have been stashed there during the last known Jewish revolt against the Romans. Researchers found the 22 copper coins in a crevice within a tunnel complex deep underneath a settlement known as Hukok. The tunnels were used by Jews as a hiding place in two early rebellions against the Romans: the Great Revolt (A.D. 66 to 70) and the Bar-Kochba (also spelled Bar-Kokhba) Revolt (A.D. 132 to 135). However, the newfound...
