Neighborhood disadvantage and autism spectrum disorder in a population with health insurance

JAMA Psychiatry

2023-11-15
(Press-News.org)

About The Study: Children residing in more disadvantaged neighborhoods at birth had higher likelihood of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis in a study that included 318,000 children with health insurance. Future research is warranted to investigate the mechanisms behind the neighborhood-related disparities in ASD diagnosis, alongside efforts to provide resources for early intervention and family support in communities with a higher likelihood of ASD.

Authors: Daniel A. Hackman, Ph.D., of the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, is the corresponding author.

Roaming seabirds need ocean-wide protection

Roaming seabirds need ocean-wide protection
2023-11-15
Seabirds roam far and wide in the Indian Ocean – so they need ocean-wide protection, new research shows. All other oceans are known to contain “hotspots” where predators including seabirds feast on prey. But the new study – by a team including Exeter, Heriot-Watt and Réunion universities, and ZSL – found no such concentrations in the Indian Ocean. With seabirds facing numerous threats due to human activity, their survival depends on protecting the open ocean. “Efforts are being made to protect key breeding colonies, but until now little was known about where Indian Ocean seabirds ...

New process for screening old urine samples reveals previously undetected ‘designer drugs’

2023-11-15
Researchers from the University of B.C. and the BC Provincial Toxicology Centre (BCPTC) have developed a more efficient way to find out which new ‘designer drugs’ are circulating in the community. In a study published today in Analytical Chemistry, they showed how high-resolution mass spectrometry can be used to analyze urine samples at scale and uncover molecules from emerging designer drugs that have been missed by conventional testing. The approach can support public health and safety by enabling swift identification of new substances, potentially saving lives and guiding timely clinical responses to drug-related ...

This 3D printer can watch itself fabricate objects
2023-11-15
With 3D inkjet printing systems, engineers can fabricate hybrid structures that have soft and rigid components, like robotic grippers that are strong enough to grasp heavy objects but soft enough to interact safely with humans.  These multimaterial 3D printing systems utilize thousands of nozzles to deposit tiny droplets of resin, which are smoothed with a scraper or roller and cured with UV light. But the smoothing process could squish or smear resins that cure slowly, limiting the types of materials that can be used.   Researchers from MIT, the MIT spinout Inkbit, and ETH Zurich have developed a new 3D inkjet printing system that works ...

A new kind of magnetism

A new kind of magnetism
2023-11-15
For a magnet to stick to a fridge door, inside of it several physical effects need to work together perfectly. The magnetic moments of its electrons all point in the same direction, even if no external magnetic field forces them to do so. This happens because of the so-called exchange interaction, a combination of electrostatic repulsion between electrons and quantum mechanical effects of the electron spins, which, in turn, are responsible for the magnetic moments. This is common explanation for the fact that certain materials like ...

Researchers identify the variants responsible for a rare and serious disorder

Researchers identify the variants responsible for a rare and serious disorder
2023-11-15
A research team, led by Tokyo Medical and Dental University(TMDU), identifies disease-associated variants in a rare case of RAD50 deficiency/Nijmegen breakage syndrome-like disorder Tokyo, Japan – Many disorders are caused by genetic variants; to make matters worse, the genetic origin of most disorders remains unknown. Now, in a study recently published in the Journal of Clinical Immunology, researchers have shed light on the specific variants responsible for one rare and serious disorder: ‘RAD50 deficiency/Nijmegen breakage syndrome-like ...

Do extracurricular activities always give children a head start? Research says maybe not

2023-11-15
In China, there is an old saying: "Don't let your children lose on the starting line." It highlights parents' desire to jumpstart their child's early development. Especially in recent years, parents have become increasingly anxious about their children's education, making it a trend to encourage children to participate in extracurricular activities from an early age. But is participating in extracurricular classes always advantageous for young children? Recently, a study published in the Journal of School Psychology found that extracurricular activities don't always improve a child's skills or behaviour. The ...

$3.37 million NIH grant backs effort to optimize online obesity programs for rural residents

2023-11-15
University of Virginia School of Medicine public health researchers, together with colleagues at the University of South Carolina, have received a $3.37 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to determine if online behavioral weight-management programs for rural residents can be improved by adding a human touch. Online obesity programs have typically failed to yield the same benefits as in-person programs, the researchers note, so they will test three approaches to add human involvement. More than 600 volunteer participants will be enrolled in a core online 24-week weight-loss ...

The award was created in honor of one of the world’s leading nephrologists, Norman J. Siegel, MD, FASN. Dr. Siegel was an outstanding teacher and mentor, nurturing the early careers of numerous fellows and residents. He was a leader within the medical community and educated the ...

Climate engineering could slow Antarctic ice loss, study shows

Climate engineering could slow Antarctic ice loss, study shows
2023-11-15
Scattering sunlight-reflecting particles in the atmosphere could slow rapid melting in West Antarctica and reduce the risk of catastrophic sea-level rise, according to a study led by Indiana University researchers. The study, one of the first to look at how climate engineering might impact Antarctica, comes as scientists sound the alarm over the increasing likelihood of accelerated ice loss in West Antarctica this century. The work appears in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres. “Even if the world meets the ambitious target of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels — which we are not on track ...

New report outlines microbial solutions to mediate methane emissions

2023-11-15
Washington, D.C.—The American Academy of Microbiology, the scientific think tank and honorific leadership group at the American Society for Microbiology (ASM), has released a new report, The Role of Microbes in Mediating Methane Emissions. The report highlights recommendations to further the scientific community’s understanding of microbial processes of methane production and consumption to mitigate methane emissions and address climate change. Microbes can influence climate change through biogeochemical cycles that ...
