(Press-News.org) Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, Ph.D., M.D., M.A.S.., Editor in Chief of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and the JAMA Network™ has been named as one of Modern Healthcare’s 100 Most Influential People in Healthcare 2023 for the second year in a row.
This program acknowledges and honors individuals who are deemed by their peers and the senior editors of Modern Healthcare to be the most influential figures in the industry in terms of leadership and impact.
"It’s an honor to be recognized for two consecutive years by Modern Healthcare," said Dr. Bibbins-Domingo. “The JAMA Network of 13 journals is an extraordinary platform for communicating science that shapes the practice of medicine. It has been an invigorating year publishing on issues from artificial intelligence in clinical practice and the future of clinical trials to the latest research that will improve the lives of patients. This award reflects the hard work and dedication of many.”
Dr. Bibbins-Domingo began her tenure as Editor in Chief of JAMA and the JAMA Network on July 1, 2022. She is the Lee Goldman, M.D., Endowed Professor of Medicine and of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). She is a physician scientist and leader who previously served as the chair of the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics and inaugural vice dean for population health and health equity at the UCSF School of Medicine. She also co-founded the UCSF Center for Vulnerable Populations at the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital.
“The 2023 honorees on our 100 Most Influential People in Healthcare reflect the providers, insurers, technology firms, government leaders, investors and others who have made oversized contributions to the industry in the past year,” said Mary Ellen Podmolik, editor-in-chief of Modern Healthcare. “Our ranked list honors the C-suite decision-makers using their clout and influence to lead their organizations and make sweeping changes that affect patient care.”

Model uses sociodemographic factors to predict aromatase inhibitor non-adherence risk
2023-12-06
A new risk model uses baseline sociodemographic and financial measures to predict which patients prescribed long-term therapy with aromatase inhibitors for breast cancer are at significantly higher risk of stopping that therapy early (non-adherence).
The work will be presented in a poster spotlight discussion session at the 2023 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) on Wednesday, December 6th.
The authors analyzed data from the SWOG S1105 clinical trial, including measures of patient adherence to aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy for hormone-sensitive breast cancer. They created a model ...
Newly developed floating trash interceptor cleans up the river
2023-12-06
To reduce marine debris, which causes serious environmental pollution in the sea, researchers at the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT, President Kim, Byung-suk) have developed a technology for reducing floating debris in rivers.
Since the river is the main transportation channels for land-originated marine debris, the research team led by Dr. Sang Hwa Jung launched a living lab project involving local governments, local citizens, and experts.

NIH awards $9 million for Indigenous-led Tribal Data Repository to improve community health in response to COVID-19 pandemic
2023-12-06
In an effort to improve the health of Tribal communities and Indigenous people, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded $9 million in funding for Native scientists at Arizona State University and elsewhere to create the first Indigenous-led Tribal Data Repository.
Since the SARS-CoV-2 worldwide pandemic began, global Indigenous communities have been particularly hard hit, with health disparities including lack of access to health care and undue burden of infections leading to increased hospitalizations and higher death rates.
In response, Indigenous researchers and scientists have been working to secure and fund efforts to better understand the impact of COVID-19 and ...
Fascicle gearing dynamics: Unveiling 3D rotation effects in muscle elongation
2023-12-06
Detailed insights into muscle and tendon movement mechanisms during stretching are essential to improve our overall mobility and flexibility. It is not only important for optimum athletic performance, but also crucial for preventing musculoskeletal injuries. When an individual stretches, 50% to 70% of the elongation is absorbed into the muscle belly, i.e., the fleshy part of the muscle containing most fibers.
However, in skeletal muscles with fascicles, the muscle fibers are shorter than the muscle belly and attach to the tendon at an angle. This angle between the fascicles and the tendon changes in response to the length of the muscle belly ...
Greenhouse gases in oceans are altered by climate change impact on microbes – an Incheon National University study
2023-12-06
The ocean is a critical life-support system for our planet through its role in global climate regulation. It absorbs most of the carbon emissions and heat trapped in the atmosphere which are a result of human activities. Over the years, this has led to ocean warming (OW), ocean acidification (OA), and ocean deoxygenation (OD). Moreover, increased anthropogenic‑nitrogen-deposition (AND) has largely influenced marine environments. As part of these consequences, the gases nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) are largely controlled by 'prokaryotes’ or microbial organisms living in the ocean. While several studies have analyzed ...
New study finds many couples around the world may share high blood pressure
2023-12-06
Research Highlights:
A study of married or partnered, middle-aged and older heterosexual couples in the U.S., England, China and India found that in 20% to 47% of the couples, both spouses/partners had high blood pressure.
The prevalence of both spouses/partners having high blood pressure was highest in England and the U.S., however, spouses/partners whose spouses/partners had high blood pressure were more likely to also have high blood pressure in China and India.
Researchers suggest couple-based interventions to improve high blood pressure diagnosis and management, such as couple-based screening, skills training or joint ...
How drugs can target the thick “scar tissue” of pancreatic cancer
2023-12-06
LA JOLLA (December 6, 2023)—Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers—only about one in eight patients survives five years after diagnosis. Those dismal statistics are in part due to the thick, nearly impenetrable wall of fibrosis, or scar tissue, that surrounds most pancreatic tumors and makes it hard for drugs to access and destroy the cancer cells.
Now, researchers at the Salk Institute have discovered how a class of anti-cancer drugs called HDAC inhibitors can help treat pancreatic cancer by modulating ...
Climate change shown to cause methane to be released from the deep ocean
2023-12-06
New research has shown that fire-ice - frozen methane which is trapped as a solid under our oceans - is vulnerable to melting due to climate change and could be released into the sea.
An international team of researchers led by Newcastle University found that as frozen methane and ice melts, methane - a potent greenhouse gas - is released and moves from the deepest parts of the continental slope to the edge of the underwater shelf. They even discovered a pocket which had moved 25 miles (40 kilometres).
Publishing in the journal Nature Geoscience, the researchers say this means that much more methane could potentially be vulnerable and released into the atmosphere ...

Influx of water and salts propel immune cells through the body
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute, working with Imperial College London, King’s College London and University of Cambridge, have shown that an influx of water and ions into immune cells allows them to migrate to where they’re needed in the body.
Our bodies respond to illness by sending out ...
