Study Finds Mine-Drainage Treatment Cost Effective, but Far More Costs Lay Ahead
University of Pittsburgh

Research by the University of Pittsburgh shows that state and federal appropriations allowing Pennsylvania to treat abandoned mine drainage works to both successfully and cost effectively clean up acidic water. But their research also shows funding is insufficient for long-term treatment for mine drainage and other abandoned mine hazards

Wildland Firefighters Hit Their STRIDE
University of Utah

In thousands of simulations, STRIDE produced much more accurate travel times than the standard slope-only models. STRIDE also chose to use established roads and trails to avoid patches of forest or dense vegetation. In contrast, the slope-only model sent rescuers through dense vegetation, dangerous scree fields and forested areas.

Food insecurity in early life, pregnancy may be linked to higher chance of obesity in children, NIH-funded study finds
Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes NIH

Children who faced food insecurity during early childhood—or whose mothers experienced it during pregnancy—had a higher body mass index (BMI) and more than 50% increased chance of developing obesity or severe obesity in childhood and adolescence, according to a new study funded by the NIH Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program.

Rare Gene Variants Raise Risk of Developing ALS and Lead to More Rapid Progression
American Neurological Association (ANA)

People with rare genetic variants associated with Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders are at increased risk of developing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), according to new research presented at the 149th Annual Meeting of the American Neurological Association (ANA). The study is the first to find that rare variants linked to other neurodegenerative diseases are associated with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Researchers also found having these rare variants raises the risk of faster progression of ALS as well as shorter survival.

MS Patients with Chronic Brain Lesions Decline Faster
American Neurological Association (ANA)

Starting patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) on aggressive treatment earlier may help prevent the development of paramagnetic rim lesions (PRL), areas of chronic brain inflammation that are linked to faster decline due to the disease, suggests new research presented at the 149th Annual Meeting of the American Neurological Association (ANA). People with MS who have PRLs tend to have greater brain atrophy and disability. Treatment for MS includes low-, moderate- or high-efficacy disease-modifying therapies (DMTs), such as monoclonal antibodies, immunomodulators and immunosuppressants. While high-efficacy DMTs have more side effects, previous research suggests they may help prevent PRLs from forming (unlike low- or moderate-efficacy DMTs), potentially outweighing the downsides. No currently available DMT has been shown to reduce existing PRLs.
