(Press-News.org) About The Study: Most 3- and 4-year-old children in this pooled analysis did not meet the current World Health Organization guidelines for physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep. Priority must be given to understanding factors that influence these behaviors in this age group and to implementing contextually appropriate programs and policies proven to be effective in promoting healthy levels of movement behaviors.

Cause-specific mortality rates among the US Black population
2024-09-30
About The Study: This study highlights that progress in reducing excess mortality rates among Black individuals was made primarily in reducing deaths from cancer and cardiovascular diseases among males and from cardiovascular diseases and diabetes among females. However, this progress was stalled or reversed by an increase in mortality from external causes, such as assaults and accidents, as well as a stagnation in advancements against cardiovascular diseases during periods without decrease.

Redlining and time to viral suppression among persons with HIV
2024-09-30
About The Study: The findings of this study suggest the enduring effects of systemic racism on present-day health outcomes among persons with HIV. Regardless of their neighborhood’s contemporary level of gentrification, individuals diagnosed with HIV while living in historically redlined neighborhoods may experience a significantly longer time to viral suppression.

Rare diseases in Europe: Pioneering a new era through research, innovation, and advanced training, with the launch of the first European academic degree for research on rare disease
2024-09-30
Rare diseases, which affect 30 million people across Europe, are entering a new phase in diagnosis and treatment. Key initiatives include the creation of a European registry dedicated to rare diseases and the launch of Europe’s first postgraduate specialization program with academic credit recognition (a second-level master’s degree). This joint degree, offered in collaboration with various European universities, aims to train professionals with expertise in rare disease research.
The team is coordinated by Professor Wanda Lattanzi, Associate Professor of Cellular ...
Expert panel calls for nutrition competencies in US medical education
2024-09-30
Embargoed for release: Monday, September 30, 11:00 AM ET
Key points:
There are no nationally required nutrition competencies within medical education in the U.S. In that context, researchers surveyed a professionally diverse panel of medical and nutrition experts to reach a consensus on proposed nutrition competencies for medical students and physician trainees, as well as recommendations for how to evaluate them.
The proposed competencies directly respond to Congress’ bipartisan resolution H. Res. 1118, which calls for “meaningful physician ...
NCSA, Google work together in Alaska as part of Permafrost Discovery Gateway
2024-09-30
Earlier this summer, members of the National Center for Supercomputing Applications traveled to Alaska as part of their continued work with the Permafrost Discovery Gateway, a project led by the Woodwell Climate Research Center using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in tracking Arctic permafrost thaw.
NCSA’s Associate Director for Software Kenton McHenry and Research Software Engineer Todd Nicholson visited Fairbanks, Alaska along with 12 Google.org fellows to see first hand the melting permafrost and the impacts to those that live there.

Cardiac myosin inhibition in heart failure with normal and supranormal ejection fraction
2024-09-30
About The Study: In an open-label trial in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction with left ventricular ejection fraction of 60% or greater, mavacamten, a cardiac myosin inhibitor, was associated with improvements in biomarkers of cardiac wall stress and injury, with no sustained reductions in left ventricular ejection fraction observed.

Post-mastectomy radiation therapy can be shortened by nearly half for patients planning breast reconstruction
2024-09-30
WASHINGTON, September 30, 2024 — An accelerated course of radiation therapy does not increase complications for patients who undergo breast reconstruction following a mastectomy, new research shows. Findings of the large, phase III RT CHARM trial (Alliance A221505) will be presented today at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Annual Meeting.
While radiation therapy following mastectomy to remove breast cancer is known to improve survival rates for certain patients who are at higher risk of recurrence, RT CHARM is the first multi-institutional international study to show that a shorter course ...
IMRT and proton therapy offer equally high quality of life and tumor control for people with prostate cancer
2024-09-30
WASHINGTON, September 30, 2024 — People with low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer treated with either of two types of contemporary radiation therapy — proton beam therapy or intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) — achieved equally high rates of tumor control with no differences in patient-reported quality of life, according to a first-of-its-kind phase III clinical trial comparing the two technologies. Findings of the PARTIQoL trial will be presented today at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Annual Meeting.
“We tested two contemporary, advanced forms of external ...
