Nonprofit hospitals in the U.S. received $37.4 billion in tax benefits in 2021, according to a study from researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, and Texas Christian University.
UC San Diego researchers discover two distinct molecular subtypes of Crohn’s disease using patient-derived organoids, opening the door to personalized treatment for the chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
For women with breast cancer undergoing mastectomy, an online decision aid can help in making informed decisions regarding immediate breast reconstruction (IBR), reports a randomized trial in the October issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery®, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). The journal is published in the Lippincott portfolio by Wolters Kluwer.
With a rapidly aging global population, investing in longevity science can bridge the 10–year gap between lifespan and healthspan. A breakthrough could save trillions in healthcare costs, improving health outcomes and economic resilience for all, writes Dr. Mehmood Khan.
The new CAPS program will work to unite and support the entire physician-scientist pipeline at the University of Chicago, from undergraduate students to faculty.
Canadian scientists knit little wool caps to contain electrodes that cats normally shake off when being tested for chronic pain.
Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have discovered that the blowtorch-like jet blasting from a supermassive black hole at the core of galaxy M87 seems to cause stars to erupt along its trajectory. The stars, called novae, are not caught inside the jet, but are apparently in a dangerous neighborhood nearby. Hubble found twice as many novae going off near the jet as elsewhere in the giant galaxy during the surveyed time period.
In a bold step toward addressing the stark disparities in pediatric cancer care, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is taking the lead in launching IGNITE—the first national, pediatric hematology-oncology health equity research consortium. This groundbreaking initiative aims to eradicate inequities for children, adolescents, and young adults diagnosed with cancer or blood disorders via the rapid development and evaluation of policy-relevant, evidence-based and community informed health equity interventions.
The number of educational opportunities that children accrue at home, in early education and care, at school, in afterschool programs, and in their communities as they grow up are strongly linked to their educational attainment and earnings in early adulthood, according to new research.
In a major step toward sustainable chemistry, scientists have uncovered a new way to significantly boost the electrochemical reduction of nitrate to ammonia through the in-situ evolution of electrocatalysts. This breakthrough provides a cleaner alternative to the traditional ammonia synthesis process and a solution to the critical issue of nitrate pollution in water systems.
Agriculture is the world’s largest industry. It employs more than one billion people and generates over $1.3 trillion dollars’ worth of food annually, but some farm practices have serious negative impacts on the environment, which is why sustainable agricultural practices have been championed.
Pregnant women who do not get enough sleep may be at higher risk of having children with neurodevelopmental delays, according to new research published in the Endocrine Society’s Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
CLA, formerly the Coin Laundry Association, welcomed nearly 300 industry professionals to the 2024 WDF Workshop, held Sept. 18-20 at the Grand Hyatt in downtown Nashville.
Since 1990, childhood obesity has nearly doubled globally, with the U.S. at the forefront. In Southern Europe, 10-15% of children are obese, while Asia has nearly half of all overweight kids under 5. Nearly 70% of the average U.S. child's diet consists of ultra-processed foods, which are increasingly consumed by children under 24 months, raising obesity risks and reducing immunological protection. Addressing pediatric obesity requires a multifaceted approach from tackling the influence of social media and advertising on children’s food choices to increasing physical activity.
University of Miami health geographer Imelda Moise led a study that found mosquito populations in Miami-Dade County increased dramatically after Hurricane Irma.
PARAGON Study Shows NEUROMARK® Treatment Benefits Allergic and Nonallergic Rhinitis Patients
Pesquisadores da Mayo Clinic investigaram as bases moleculares do câncer e descobriram uma nova razão pela qual o receptor de antígeno quimérico (terapia com células CAR-T) não funciona em alguns pacientes. Essa descoberta estimulou novas estratégias que incorporam anticorpos e edição genética para melhorar os resultados desse tratamento inovador para os pacientes. Esta pesquisa do Dr. Saad Kenderian, consultor em hematologia da Mayo Clinic, foi publicada na Nature Communications.
