Adherence to CPAP treatment and the risk of recurrent cardiovascular events

JAMA

2023-10-03
(Press-News.org) About The Study: The results of this meta-analysis indicate that adherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) was associated with a reduced major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event recurrence risk, suggesting that treatment adherence is a key factor in secondary cardiovascular prevention in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

Authors: Ferran Barbé, M.D., of the Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red de Enfermedades Respiratorias (CIBERES) in Madrid, is the corresponding author.

Spending on mental health services for kids and adolescents has risen by more than 25% since beginning of pandemic

2023-10-03
Spending on mental health services for children and adolescents has risen by more than one-quarter since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, continuing to rise even as the use of telehealth plateaued, according to a new RAND Corporation study.   Spending on mental health for people aged 19 and younger rose by 26% from March 2020 to August 2022 among a large group whose families have employer-provided insurance. During the same period, use of mental health services increased by 22%.   The study found that use of telehealth for pediatric patients increased more than 30-fold during the early months of the pandemic and remained ...

Surgical scorecards may cut cost of surgical procedures without impacting outcomes

2023-10-03
Key takeaways  A tool for evaluating the overall cost of a surgical procedure, called a scorecard, helps reduce costs of surgical procedures between 5% and 20% without adversely affecting clinical outcomes.   Further implementation of scorecards may move surgeons toward energy-efficient operating rooms, which are the largest hospital producer of emissions and waste.    CHICAGO (October 3, 2023): Surgical scorecards, a tool that gives direct feedback ...

Utilization and spending on mental health services among children and youths with commercial insurance

2023-10-03
About The Study: After comparing mental health care service utilization and spending rates for children and youths with commercial insurance across three periods from January 2019 through August 2022, this study found differences between periods as well as different rates of change within each period for both visit types (in-person and telehealth), even after accounting for state and patient sex. Utilization and spending increased over the entire timeframe. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, anxiety disorders, and adjustment disorder accounted for most visits and spending in all phases. Authors: Mariah ...

Psychotropic medication use in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes

2023-10-03
About The Study: This study found an increasing trend in psychotropic medication dispensation among Swedish children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes from 2006 to 2019, persistently higher than those without type 1 diabetes. These findings call for further in-depth investigations into the benefits and risks of psychotropic medications within this population and highlight the importance of integrating pediatric diabetes care and mental health care for early detection of psychological needs and careful monitoring of medication use. Authors: Shengxin ...

New study in JAMA: unnecessary ovary removal in girls decreased significantly with use of a risk-stratification algorithm

2023-10-03
WILMINGTON, Del. (October 3, 2023) – Many children and adolescent girls diagnosed with an ovarian mass may be able to avoid ovary removal and its lifelong consequences with the use of a consensus-based risk stratification algorithm. Algorithm use helps doctors gauge the patient’s risk of a malignancy and guides preoperative decision making, according to a new multi-institutional study published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). Researchers at 11 U.S. children’s hospitals ...

Human disease simulator lets scientists choose their own adventure

Human disease simulator lets scientists choose their own adventure
2023-10-03
Device can manipulate which organ is driving a disease to study its downstream effects   Can serve as intermediate step between animal studies and clinical trials to test new drugs ‘We wanted to make it as easy as using a smartphone’ Imagine a device smaller than a toddler’s shoebox that can simulate any human disease in multiple organs or test new drugs without ever entering — or harming — the body.  Scientists at Northwestern University have developed this new technology — called Lattice — to study interactions between up to eight unique organ tissue cultures (cells from a human ...

Breakthrough in understanding the onset of sporadic Alzheimer's disease

2023-10-03
New Discoveries in the Development of Alzheimer's Disease in a Study led by Professor Michael Glickman and Dr. Inbal Maniv from the Faculty of Biology at the Technion were Published in Nature Communications. Alzheimer's disease was named after the German researcher Dr. Alois Alzheimer, who first described it in 1906. The disease is characterized by the degeneration and death of nerve cells, processes that lead to a progressive impairment of cognitive abilities. It occurs typically in adults over the age of 65, but a small percentage of all Alzheimer's patients are hereditary cases that affect younger ...

Study quantifies satellite brightness, challenges ground-based astronomy

Study quantifies satellite brightness, challenges ground-based astronomy
2023-10-03
The ability to have access to the Internet or use a mobile phone anywhere in the world is taken more and more for granted, but the brightness of Internet and telecommunications satellites that enable global communications networks could pose problems for ground-based astronomy. University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign aerospace engineer Siegfried Eggl coordinated an international study confirming recently deployed satellites are as bright as stars seen by the unaided eye. “From our observations, we learned that AST Space Mobile’s BlueWalker 3—a constellation prototype satellite featuring a ...

AI combines chest X-rays with patient data to improve diagnosis

AI combines chest X-rays with patient data to improve diagnosis
2023-10-03
OAK BROOK, Ill. – A new artificial intelligence (AI) model combines imaging information with clinical patient data to improve diagnostic performance on chest X-rays, according to a study published in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). Clinicians consider both imaging and non-imaging data when diagnosing diseases. However, current AI-based approaches are tailored to solve tasks with only one type of data at a time. Transformer-based neural networks, a relatively new class of AI models, have the ability to combine imaging and ...

Large NIH grant supports CRISPR-based gene therapy development for brain diseases

2023-10-03
A two-phase NIH grant will fund research into a new CRISPR-based gene therapy platform that will target genetic brain diseases like Angelman syndrome and H1-4 (HIST1H1E) syndrome. A roughly $40 million National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant awarded to Yale School of Medicine will support the development of a gene-editing platform technology capable of reaching the human brain. The innovative new genome-editing technology, which was developed from the first phase from NIH Common Fund Somatic Cell Genome Editing (SCGE) program, could potentially lead to treatments or cures for many neurogenetic diseases. Neurogenetic disorders ...
