\n \n \n \nNew research from the University of Oxford has revealed that an online program that empowers parents to apply Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) principles in their child\u2019s day to day lives is just as effective as traditional talking therapies for child anxiety problems, while substantially reducing the amount of therapist time required and making support more accessible for many families. The approach provides parents online tools and some therapist guidance to help children overcome problems with anxiety.

\n \n \n \nA team at Nuffield Department of Orthopaedic Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences (NDORMS) has developed a new approach to significantly improve the accuracy of Ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing. They pinpoint the primary source of inaccurate quantification in both short and long-read RNA sequencing, and have introduced the concept of \u201cmajority vote\u201d error correction leading to a substantial improvement in RNA molecular counting.

\n \n \n \nMedical student, Anuraag Vazirani, and fellow colleagues from St Cross College, recently published a paper in the journal Scientific Reports, in which they introduce Innovation Enhancing Techniques (IETs) to address challenges in healthcare and biomedicine, offering a versatile framework for creative solutions. Their study aims to give entrepreneurs, innovators, and researchers a toolkit to create innovative solutions to problems they are trying to solve. By adapting a technique called 'BrainSwarming', which enables a problem-solver to overcome psychological obstacles to thinking up new solutions to a problem, they can effectively generate innovative solutions - an alternative to traditional 'brainstorming'.
