A research team led by Georgia Tech’s Hailong Chen has developed a low-cost iron chloride cathode for all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries, which could significantly reduce costs and improve performance for electric vehicles and large-scale energy storage systems.
Behavioral health professionals at Rutgers will work with the state to increase and improve the delivery of mental health and substance use services to the underserved communities of Newark and Elizabeth under a $4.5 million federal grant.
If you ask Kate Lopez, RN, what her approach to caring for patients in the Cancer and Blood Disease Institute of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles is, she’ll tell you that the magic’s in the little things. Those little things include gestures like ensuring patients have plenty of ice and water during chemo, adding comfort items to their rooms and, Lopez’s specialty: making them laugh.
Nuclear engineers learn about advancements in nuclear reactor design at Argonne-hosted summer school.
Wegovy (semaglutide) now has Medicare approval for coverage among people with obesity and cardiovascular disease but no diabetes; a study looks at what level of risk might make someone eligible.
Josh Leonardis, a researcher at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, received funding from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development of the National Institutes of Health to study why female manual wheelchair users experience shoulder pain and pathology at greater rates than males.
Using newly released cancer surveillance data, researchers at the American Cancer Society (ACS) found decreases in cancer diagnoses and proportion of early-stage diagnoses continued in 2021 in the United States during the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The proportion of late-stage diagnoses was lower in 2021 than in 2020, but has not returned to pre-pandemic levels. The findings will be presented at the annual American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Quality Care Symposium in San Francisco, September 27 – 28, 2024.
Patients diagnosed with major diseases, including cancer, often experience financial hardship due to high out-of-pocket medical costs in the United States. However, little is known about changes in income, wealth, and debt before and after major disease diagnoses. New data by researchers at the American Cancer Society (ACS) shows these families face various new types of debts, especially medical debt, after diagnoses. Moreover, newly diagnosed with cancer is associated with an increased likelihood of experiencing medical debt. The findings will be presented at the annual American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Quality Care Symposium in San Francisco, September 27 – 28, 2024.
A new study from researchers at the American Cancer Society (ACS) found that patients with stage 3 locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who received radiation treatment during a hurricane disaster were more likely to experience treatment completion delays. Researchers also reported that patients treated during a hurricane were more likely to receive higher total doses of radiation and complete more fractions. These findings will be presented at the annual American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Quality Care Symposium in San Francisco, September 27 – 28, 2024.
New research by scientists at the American Cancer Society (ACS) shows patients impacted by a wildfire disaster while recovering from lung cancer surgery have a longer in-hospital length of stay (LOS) than similar patients treated at the same facility at times when no disasters happened. The findings will be presented at the annual American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Quality Care Symposium in San Francisco, September 27 – 28, 2024.
New findings by researchers at the American Cancer Society (ACS) show total healthcare spending in the six months after a cancer diagnosis is considerable in the working-age population, with high out-of-pocket (OOP) costs for patients with private non-health maintenance organization (HMO) coverage. The study will be presented at the annual American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Quality Care Symposium in San Francisco, September 27 – 28, 2024.
Medicaid coverage had a significant impact on helping some people lower their blood pressure. The findings fill a gap left in the Oregon Health Insurance Experiment finding that Medicaid coverage leads to improved financial risk protection, better access to care, and lower mental stress, but found no impact on physical health such as blood pressure.
