Although the exact nature of dark matter continues to elude astronomers‚ we have gained some understanding of its general physical properties. We know how it clusters around galaxies‚ how it makes up much of the matter in the Universe‚ and even how it can interact with itself. Now a new study looks at just how fast dark matter can move. The study focuses on an effect known as dynamical friction. The term is a bit of a misnomer since it isn’t the kind of friction you see between two objects sliding against each other. A better term for the effect might be gravitational drag. It was first studied by Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar in 1943‚ and it’s caused by the gravitational interactions of a diffuse body. Imagine a massive star moving through a cluster of red dwarf stars. Even though none of the stars are likely to collide‚ the gravitational interactions between them will affect stellar motions. The massive star will slow down as it leaves the cluster thanks to the gravitational tug of the red dwarf stars. On the other hand‚ the red dwarf stars will speed up a bit as they are dragged slightly toward the massive star. If you track the change in speed of the stars in the cluster‚ you can determine how fast the cluster was moving before the collision. The galactic effects of dynamical friction. Credit: Kipper‚ et al The same effect can occur between matter and dark matter. The presence of dark matter affects the motion of stars in the galaxy‚ and thanks to dynamical friction this distorts the shape of the galaxy. By mapping how the galaxy is distorted the team can calculate the motion of dark matter near the galaxy. So the team focused on finding distorted galaxies that aren’t part of a dense galactic cluster. Since the galaxies are fairly isolated‚ the distortion must occur because of dark matter. The authors then compared the shape of these distorted galaxies to N-body simulations to map the motion of dark matter. One of the concerns they had was that the uncertainty in the data would be too large to make any meaningful constraints on dark matter. The team showed that for available samples‚ the data scatter is only about 10%. This means it is precise enough to apply to nearby galaxies. For example‚ detailed Gaia observations of the Large Magellanic Cloud should allow astronomers to get a handle on dark matter speeds there. This approach gives astronomers one more tool for the study of dark matter. As future observations allow us to pin down the properties of dark matter‚ we may be able to determine what dark matter really is.

The test results are in and it’s not a clean bill of health for the US. Statistics released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Tuesday have revealed what’s been described as an “out of control” epidemic of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the country.The findings come from the CDC’s most recent annual STI surveillance report‚ which compiles data on reported infections in the US. According to the report‚ more than 2.5 million cases of syphilis‚ gonorrhea‚ and chlamydia were reported in the US in 2022. Experts are particularly concerned by the number of reported cases of syphilis‚ which have shot up by 80 percent in the past five years. Syphilis can be picked up during vaginal‚ anal‚ or oral sex when someone comes into contact with syphilis sores‚ but can also be passed from a pregnant person to their unborn baby. This is called congenital syphilis and it’s a problem that experts are keen to highlight‚ with cases having increased by 937 percent over the course of a decade.“Our nation is facing a rapidly deteriorating public health crisis with real lives at stake‚” reads the response of the National Coalition of STD Directors to the report.It’s a sentiment that’s well-supported by the data. “Nearly every state reported having at least one congenital syphilis case. Some states are feeling the impact more than others – Texas‚ California‚ Arizona‚ Florida‚ and Louisiana represented 57 percent of all reported congenital syphilis cases. Tragically‚ these infections resulted in 282 stillbirths and infant deaths in 2022‚” writes Laura Bachmann‚ the CDC Acting Director for STD Prevention‚ in a statement.Syphilis consists of three main stages‚ the first two of which are the most infectious and can be characterized by skin rashes and sores‚ with other symptoms including fever‚ aches‚ and fatigue. Though most untreated cases of syphilis don’t progress beyond this point‚ the infection can sometimes reach the tertiary stage; this can cause damage in multiple organs and lead to death.However‚ syphilis can be curable with antibiotics‚ and if caught in the early stages of the infection‚ can prevent such serious or fatal damage. This may cause some to question why the US is now in the situation it’s in. Bachmann explains: “The STI field has reached a tipping point […] Recent public health emergencies diverted program resources and threatened the health of those already disproportionately affected by STIs.”So what’s the answer? According to the CDC‚ collaboration.“We are calling on all partners‚ particularly healthcare providers‚ to understand who should be tested for syphilis in their community‚ talk with patients about sexual health‚ treat patients and their partners immediately‚ and work with local and state health departments to improve syphilis management and access to care‚” writes Bachmann. “Every case is one too many when we have the tools to prevent it.”

Science’s understanding of a mysterious and rare disorder known as Alice in Wonderland syndrome just got a little bit better thanks to a study that mapped a brain circuit that seems to be involved in the condition. The research‚ which has been posted as a preprint and is yet to be peer-reviewed‚ identified a network encompassing two distinct brain regions: one involved in body perception‚ and one in processing size and scale.In Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland‚ our eponymous heroine follows a frantic white rabbit down his hole and into the topsy-turvy world of Wonderland. She meets a cast of iconic characters‚ from the Cheshire Cat to the decapitation-happy Queen of Hearts – but before any of that‚ she’s faced with a questionable bottle of liquid labeled “Drink Me”. With an almost admirable lack of self-preservation instinct‚ she does so‚ and promptly finds herself shrinking down to a minute size.It’s these events from the book that give Alice in Wonderland syndrome (AIWS) its name. It’s a rare phenomenon‚ with only around 170 cases having been described in the medical literature according to the authors of the recent preprint. Most often‚ people with AIWS report episodes in which they perceive their own body parts‚ others’ bodies‚ or objects as being too large or too small. In recent years‚ there have been calls from some researchers to broaden the umbrella of AIWS to cover other disorders of perception‚ such as tachysensia‚ in which people feel that time is moving faster than it should.With symptoms so unusual‚ and so few well-documented cases‚ it’s been a struggle to determine the cause of AIWS‚ as the authors of the preprint explain: “AIWS has variably been classified as a hallucination‚ an illusory misperception‚ or a disorder of multisensory integration related to body representation.” The most common trigger is migraine‚ but brain damage and tumors have also been implicated in some cases. Brain damage resulting in AIWS has been reported in various different brain regions. To make sense of this‚ the authors of the study performed a technique called lesion network mapping on brain scans from 37 people with AIWS‚ all cases previously documented in the medical literature.The team compared the scans with data from 1‚000 healthy people and 1‚073 lesions associated with 25 different neuropsychiatric disorders. They discovered that while the individual AIWS brain lesions varied in their locations‚ over 85 percent of them were connected to two specific hubs: the right extrastriate body area (EBA) and the left inferior parietal lobe (IPL). The right EBA is part of the brain’s larger visual processing area‚ and is activated when we are observing a body or its parts. Meanwhile‚ the left IPL is activated when we’re trying to determine something’s size. Putting two and two together‚ it starts to make sense that these two regions would be involved in a disorder that makes people’s body parts appear abnormally small or large.“This connectivity pattern was specific to AIWS when compared to lesions causing other neuropsychiatric disorders and aligned with neuroimaging findings in patients with AIWS from other etiologies‚” the authors explain in their paper. Speaking to New Scientist‚ neuropsychologist Joel Frank (who was not directly involved in the study) pointed out that the sample size was small‚ but the methods used are promising. “By identifying the correlated regions in the brain‚ more precise diagnostic tools can be developed‚” Frank said.The study‚ should it be validated in peer review‚ opens up the prospect of more accurate diagnosis and maybe even treatments for AIWS in the future. While the authors highlight that theirs is the “largest study of AIWS lesion locations to date‚” they do accept the limitations of the small sample size and the need for more data to be collected. But it’s a good first step‚ and as Alice herself lamented in the book when waiting for the Mock Turtle to recount his autobiography‚ “I don’t see how he can ever finish‚ if he doesn’t begin.”The preprint‚ which has not been subject to external peer review‚ is posted to medRxiv.
