(Press-News.org) About The Study: The findings of this study suggest that online pharmacies play an increasingly critical role in direct-to-patient medication abortion provision, especially with virtual-only platforms. These findings suggest that barriers to accessing online pharmacies for abortion care should be removed.

Black, Hispanic, and American Indian adolescents likelier than white adolescents to be tested for drugs, alcohol at pediatric trauma centers
2024-10-04
Injured adolescents from marginalized groups treated at pediatric trauma centers are more likely to be tested for drugs and alcohol than white adolescents, even when accounting for injury severity, a study led by researchers at UCLA and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles suggests.
The findings, to be published October 4 in the peer-reviewed JAMA Network Open, suggest that clinician biases could influence the selection of adolescents for biochemical substance use screening at pediatric trauma centers, said Dr. Jordan Rook, a general surgery resident at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and the study’s lead author. ...
Pterosaurs needed feet on the ground to become giants
2024-10-04
The evolutionary adaptations that allowed ancient pterosaurs to grow to enormous sizes have been pinpointed for the first time by palaeontologists in the Centre for Palaeobiology and Biosphere Evolution at the University of Leicester.
The discovery revealed a surprising twist – the ability to walk efficiently on the ground played a crucial role in determining how large the biggest flying animals could grow, with some reaching wingspans of up to 10 metres.
In a new study published today (4 October) in Current ...
Scientists uncover auditory “sixth sense” in geckos
2024-10-04
University of Maryland biologists identified a hidden sensory talent in geckos that’s shaking up what we thought we knew about animal hearing.
In a new study published in Current Biology on October 4, 2024, the researchers revealed that geckos use the saccule—a part of their inner ear traditionally associated with maintaining balance and body positioning—to detect low-frequency vibrations. According to the researchers, this special “sixth sense” also plays a complementary role to the geckos’ normal hearing and the way they sense ...
Almost half of persons who inject drugs (PWID) with endocarditis will die within five years; women are disproportionately affected
2024-10-04
LONDON, Ont. and REGINA, Sask. – People who inject drugs are dying at an alarming rate from endocarditis, a serious but treatable heart-valve infection.
But their odds of survival improve dramatically, even five years after their first admission to hospital, if they’re treated not just for heart infection but are also provided with addiction support while in hospital, a Canadian study shows.
The study also highlights that women who inject drugs are particularly vulnerable to endocarditis and are affected in disproportionately high numbers.
“Endocarditis is potentially lethal and always costly,” says Dr. Michael Silverman, an infectious ...
Experimental blood test improves early detection of pancreatic cancer
2024-10-04
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (Sept. 30, 2024) — An experimental blood test detects early-stage pancreatic cancer more effectively than other available tests, reports a new study published in Cancer Letters.
The findings pave the way for further evaluation of the test in a clinical setting, an important step toward approval as a potential diagnostic method for pancreatic cancer.
“Catching pancreatic cancer early dramatically improves survival, but our current tools for doing so are limited,” said the study’s co-corresponding author Brian Haab, Ph.D., a professor at Van Andel Institute. “Our results reveal that our combination ...
Groundbreaking wastewater treatment research led by Oxford Brookes targets global challenge of toxic ‘forever chemicals’
2024-10-04
Researchers at Oxford Brookes University have pioneered a groundbreaking method to tackle one of the world’s most persistent environmental threats—toxic chemicals in global water supplies.
They have developed a new machine called a hydrodynamic reactor that uses bubbles which form and collapse due to changes in pressure, a process called cavitation. The reactor removes toxic per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as “forever chemicals” from water.
PFAS chemicals were invented in the 1930s and used in convenience products ...
Jefferson Health awarded $2.4 million in PCORI funding
2024-10-04
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 3, 2024 — Jefferson Health has been awarded $2.4 million by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to implement evidence-based patient education and coaching programs for weight loss across Jefferson Primary Care.
U.S. adult obesity rates have risen to over 40% in the past two decades, increasing risks of diabetes, heart disease and premature death. Led by Baligh Yehia, M.D., MPP, MSHP, President of Jefferson Health, this project will implement sustainable health education programs ...
Cilta-cel found highly effective in first real-world study
2024-10-04
(WASHINGTON – October 4, 2024) In the first study to report real-world outcomes from ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel), a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T therapy for multiple myeloma, patients experienced efficacy and safety results similar to those seen in clinical trials, according to results published today in Blood.
Of 236 patients who received cilta-cel infusions at 16 U.S. medical centers in 2022, 89% saw their cancer respond to the treatment and 70% had a complete response, meaning there was no detectable cancer after the treatment. These numbers ...
