The creation of Ochsner’s Health and Wellness Day in New Orleans East and its community outreach strategies are intentional, and data driven. The community health needs assessment, or CHNA, is an important way for Ochsner Health to better identify and meet the needs of communities.
High in the sky over an Alaskan tundra, a small aircraft ran the same pattern over and over again. It swooped through clouds and flew down close to the ground. But there were no people experiencing the flight from inside the plane – it was an unmanned aerial system (UAS). UASs are aircraft that people can operate remotely from the ground. Building on years of testing, researchers working with the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Department of Energy Office of Science user facility are now gaining access to these helpful tools.

When broiler chickens are busy fighting the parasitic infection coccidiosis, they can’t absorb nutrients efficiently or put energy toward growth. With consumer sentiment pitted against antimicrobials and other drugs, producers still have some options to ensure optimal growth during inevitable outbreaks. New research from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign suggests diet changes might help.
What if bacteria—which love to grow deep inside tumors—could guide cancer therapies directly to their target? A team of NIH-funded researchers has engineered a bacterial strain to “light up” tumors so that reprogrammed T cells, drawn like a moth to a flame, can find and destroy them. Their preclinical treatment could potentially be effective against any solid tumor type.
People with cancer have different amounts of a type of repetitive DNA — called Alu elements — than people without cancer.
Thanks to generous donations from listeners and others, the 35th annual Mix 106.5 radiothon raised $1,453,157.35 for Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. The final total from the event was announced on the radio on Monday, March 4. During the event, DJs from the station broadcast live last week from the Children’s Center for 26 hours over two days.
A New Jersey Gun Violence Research Center study is the first to provide nationally representative data on gun use, storage and violence within Black and American Indian/Alaskan Native (AIAN) families.
Stimulated Raman scattering is a powerful spectroscopic technique that unveils molecular vibrational and rotational information, providing invaluable insights into the composition and dynamics of diverse materials. A novel approach for stimulated Raman scattering spectroscopy has been introduced, utilizing offset-phase controlled femtosecond-pulse bursts. This innovative technique not only achieves very high spectral resolution but also enables high-speed spectral acquisition. By broadening the applications of stimulated Raman scattering, it represents a noteworthy advancement in spectroscopic capabilities.
Delivering on its promise to transform our understanding of the early universe, the James Webb Space Telescope is probing galaxies near the dawn of time. One of these is the exceptionally luminous galaxy GN-z11, which existed when the universe was just a tiny fraction of its current age. One of the youngest and most distant galaxies ever observed, it is also one of the most enigmatic. Why is it so bright? Webb appears to have found the answer.
Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) neurologist Shafali Spurling Jeste, MD, has been named the 2024 recipient of the prestigious Martha Bridge Denckla Award from the Child Neurology Society. This award—named after a physician who pioneered the field of developmental cognitive neurology—honors physician-scientists of international standing who conduct research and clinical care focused on neurodevelopmental and neurobehavioral disorders.
Those who report having poor oral health are as likely to have negative long-term systemic health outcomes as those previously diagnosed with periodontal disease, or gum disease, according to a new Tufts University School of Dental Medicine.

Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis trained a machine-learning algorithm to predict accurately brain metastasis using biopsy samples from early-stage non-small cell lung cancer patients. It was also highly accurate in predicting those patients who do not develop metastatic brain tumors.
Fluids moving through fractures in subsurface rock react with chemicals in the rock to alter the fractures and the rock’s permeability. The processes involved operate much more slowly in the field than in laboratory tests, making them hard to predict. This study used simulations of mineral dissolution to discover a link between the structure of fractures in rock and how that rock reacts with fluid moving through it.

To identify major social factors hindering breast cancer screening in U.S. women aged 40 and older, researchers focused on race/ethnicity, employment, education, food security, insurance status, housing and access to quality health care. Access to health care emerged as a statistically significant theme (61 percent) and insurance status was the most reported sub-categorical factor. Language was the third highest issue, highlighting its significance as an influential factor of screening behavior. Race/ethnicity, sex/gender and sexual orientation were additional factors reported.
A new study finds younger adults look and feel older on stressful days – but only on days when they also feel they have relatively less control over their own lives.

Unlike existing work, which relies on training data from social media examples, a new benchmark, named ToxicChat, is based on examples gathered from real-world interactions between users and an AI-powered chatbot. ToxicChat is able to weed out queries that use seemingly harmless language but are actually harmful, which would pass muster with most current models.
Heart disease is the No. 1 cause of death in the U.S. for both men and women, but from pregnancy risks to how their arteries function women face different challenges in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular conditions.
Advances in trauma care on the battlefield have drastically improved over the last few decades, but current surgical approaches to avoid further complications in extremity wounds have continued to delay wounds from healing. A new study led by researchers at the Uniformed Services University (USU), however, offers a better understanding of how the body responds to combat wounds, which could ultimately lead to further advancements in care.
