(Press-News.org) About The Study: The results of this survey study indicated that 6 months into unwinding, 1 in 8 Medicaid beneficiaries reported exiting the program, with wide state variation. Roughly half who lost Medicaid coverage became uninsured. Among those moving to new coverage, many experienced coverage gaps. Adults exiting Medicaid reported more challenges accessing care than respondents who remained enrolled.

Insurance coverage disruptions, challenges accessing care common amid Medicaid unwinding
2024-06-29
Embargoed for release: Saturday, June 29, 2:15 PM ET
Key points:
In a survey of low-income adults across Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Texas, one in eight respondents who were enrolled in Medicaid at some point since March 2020—when COVID-19-era coverage protections began—reported no longer having Medicaid coverage by late 2023, months after protections expired and “Medicaid unwinding” began.
Nearly half of those who were disenrolled from Medicaid reported being uninsured in late 2023, and those who lost Medicaid ...
Could Dad’s diet influence his offsprings’ health?
2024-06-29
Chicago (June 29, 2024) — A study performed in mice has uncovered a potential new tool to combat the escalating issue of childhood obesity. The research suggests that a simple dietary change, in the form of a fish oil supplement taken by fathers, might help address this pressing health concern.
The number of young people ages 5 to 19 who are obese has risen from 31 million in 1990 to 160 million in 2022, according to the World Health Organization. This extra weight can increase the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol and may also lead to poor self-esteem ...

Prostate cancer test is missing early disease in transgender women
2024-06-28
UCSF-led study alerts transwomen and physicians to interpret standard screening guidelines with caution.
Transgender women on hormone therapy tend to skew artificially low on prostate cancer screening tests, which may give false reassurance and delay diagnosis and treatment, reports a new study led by UC San Francisco.
The researchers found that transwomen scored 50 times lower than typical PSA tests (prostate-specific antigen), the gold standard tool to detect prostate cancer. This could mean that current “normal” thresholds are too high for transgender women, and their cancer might not be found until a later ...

To regenerate the kidney, please don’t pass the salt
2024-06-28
A loss of salt and body fluid can stimulate kidney regeneration and repair in mice, according to a NIH-funded study led by USC Stem Cell scientist Janos Peti-Peterdi and published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation. This innate regenerative response relies on a small population of kidney cells in a region known as the macula densa (MD), which senses salt and exerts control over filtration, hormone secretion, and other key functions of this vital organ.
“Our personal and professional mission is to find a cure for kidney disease, a growing global epidemic affecting one out of seven adults, which translates ...
Enhancing nasal endoscopy with AI
2024-06-28
A team of researchers from Ochsner Health recently published an insightful article in the International Forum of Allergy & Rhinology exploring the application of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to improve the accuracy and efficiency of nasal endoscopy. The study, authored by resident physician Dr. Vinayak Ganeshan under the guidance of senior otolaryngologist Dr. Edward D. McCoul, addresses the challenges posed by the intricate nasal cavity anatomy in rhinology diagnostics.
Nasal endoscopy (NE) is an essential diagnostic tool in rhinology, but its effectiveness can be hampered by the complex ...
Drone technology aid restoration, resilience of Native Hawaiian fishponds
2024-06-28
Scientists and kiaʻi loko (fishpond practitioners) have a new tool to aid their efforts to restore and ensure the resilience of Native Hawaiian fishponds. Researchers from the University of Hawai‘i (UH) and fishpond stewards in Hilo, Hawai‘i recently published a study in the Journal of Remote Sensing highlighting the use of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) to support integrated coastal zone management, including at cultural heritage sites.
“We discovered that drones are effective and cost-efficient ...
New computational microscopy technique provides more direct route to crisp images
2024-06-28
For hundreds of years, the clarity and magnification of microscopes were ultimately limited by the physical properties of their optical lenses. Microscope makers pushed those boundaries by making increasingly complicated and expensive stacks of lens elements. Still, scientists had to decide between high resolution and a small field of view on the one hand or low resolution and a large field of view on the other.
In 2013, a team of Caltech engineers introduced a microscopy technique called FPM (for ...
