Risk of suicidal ideation or attempts in adolescents with obesity treated with GLP1 receptor agonists

JAMA Pediatrics

2024-10-14
(Press-News.org)

About The Study: In this study, adolescents with obesity prescribed a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1R) had a lower incidence of suicidal ideation or attempts compared with matched patients not prescribed GLP1R who were treated with lifestyle intervention. These results suggest a favorable psychiatric safety profile of GLP1R in adolescents. The detected reduction in hazard ratios for suicidal ideation among adolescents with obesity prescribed GLP1R suggests potential avenues for future research.

SARS-CoV-2 infection and new-onset type 2 diabetes among pediatric patients

2024-10-14
About The Study: In this retrospective cohort study of children and adolescents ages 10 to 19, the risk of an incident diagnosis of type 2 diabetes was greater following a COVID-19 diagnosis than in children diagnosed with other respiratory infections. Further study is required to determine whether diabetes persists or reverses later in life.  Corresponding Author: To contact the corresponding author, Pauline Terebuh, MD, MPH, email pdt@case.edu.

Recovery from COVID-19–related disruptions in cancer detection

2024-10-14
About The Study: This cross-sectional study of nationally representative registry data found that cancer incidence recovered meaningfully in 2021 following substantial disruptions in 2020. However, incidence rates need to recover further to address the substantial number of patients with undiagnosed cancer during the pandemic.  Corresponding Author: To contact the corresponding author, Uriel Kim, MD, PhD, MBA, email uxk13@case.edu.

Smaller vial size for Alzheimer’s drug could save Medicare hundreds of millions per year

2024-10-14
Medicare could save up to 74% of the money lost from discarded Alzheimer’s drug lecanemab by the simple introduction of a new vial size that would reduce the amount of unused medication that is thrown away, new research suggests. The researchers on the study, to be published October 14 in the peer-reviewed JAMA Internal Medicine, estimate that Medicare could waste up to $336 million annually due to discarded medication. Administered dosages are based on each patient’s body weight. But because the drug is currently available ...

Human temporal resolution of odor is shorter than thought: Study

Human temporal resolution of odor is shorter than thought: Study
2024-10-14
​When we inhale, airborne chemicals enter our nose, creating the "odor" we detect. These chemicals are then expelled when we exhale. Each breath lasts 3–5 seconds, which seems to limit how quickly we can perceive odors. Chemical changes that occur within a single breath appear to be combined into one odor. Because of this, our sense of smell, or olfaction, is often considered a slow sense. Now, however, researchers led by Dr. ZHOU Wen from the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have challenged this view. Their new study, ...

Scientists discover unexpected link between genes involved in human brain evolution and developmental disorders

Scientists discover unexpected link between genes involved in human brain evolution and developmental disorders
2024-10-14
Leuven, 14 October 2024 - The human brain’s remarkably prolonged development is unique among mammals and is thought to contribute to our advanced learning abilities. Disruptions in this process may explain certain neurodevelopmental diseases. Now, a team of researchers led by Prof. Pierre Vanderhaeghen (VIB-KU Leuven), together with scientists of Columbia University and Ecole Normale Supérieure has discovered a link between two genes, present only in human DNA, and a key gene called SYNGAP1, which is mutated in intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorders. Their study, published in Neuron,  provides a surprisingly direct link between human brain ...

Ancient 3D paper art, kirigami, could shape modern wireless technology

Ancient 3D paper art, kirigami, could shape modern wireless technology
2024-10-14
The future of wireless technology — from charging devices to boosting communication signals — relies on the antennas that transmit electromagnetic waves becoming increasingly versatile, durable and easy to manufacture. Researchers at Drexel University and the University of British Columbia believe kirigami, the ancient Japanese art of cutting and folding paper to create intricate three-dimensional designs, could provide a model for manufacturing the next generation of antennas. Recently published in the journal Nature Communications, research from the Drexel-UBC team showed how kirigami — a variation of origami — ...

Integrating machine learning with statistical methods enhances disease risk prediction models

Integrating machine learning with statistical methods enhances disease risk prediction models
2024-10-14
Researchers from Peking University have conducted a comprehensive systematic review on the integration of machine learning into statistical methods for disease risk prediction models, shedding light on the potential of such integrated models in clinical diagnosis and screening practices. The study, led by Professor Feng Sun from the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Public Health, Peking University, has been published in Health Data Science. Disease risk prediction is crucial for early diagnosis and effective clinical decision-making. However, traditional statistical models, such as logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards regression, often ...

Changing watering practices to improve tomato plant health

Changing watering practices to improve tomato plant health
2024-10-14
Some people believe that talking to your plants makes them thrive. While there’s limited scientific support for sound improving plant health, there’s a growing amount of evidence about the benefits of mechanical stimulation, like touch, wind or rain. Researchers reporting in ACS’ Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry examined the impact of watering practices on tomato plants. They found that the size of the water droplets affected plant growth and resistance to pests and pathogens. Climate change threatens crop production as rising ...

Six proteins implicated in early-onset preeclampsia

2024-10-14
Preeclampsia is a life-threatening pregnancy complication marked by persistent high blood pressure that is even more serious when it occurs early in the first trimester. The exact cause of early-onset preeclampsia is unknown, and it is difficult to predict, prevent and diagnose. Now, in ACS’ Journal of Proteome Research, researchers report on six proteins that could be used as targets to diagnose and treat the condition. Preeclampsia’s key symptom is high maternal blood pressure, and serious cases can lead to maternal organ failure, low infant birth weight, or maternal or fetal death. ...

Researchers at The University of Texas at San Antonio reveal oversight in AI image recognition tools

Researchers at The University of Texas at San Antonio reveal oversight in AI image recognition tools
2024-10-14
Artificial intelligence can help people process and comprehend large amounts of data with precision, but the modern image recognition platforms and computer vision models that are built into AI frequently overlook an important back-end feature called the alpha channel, which controls the transparency of images, according to a new study. Researchers at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) developed a proprietary attack called AlphaDog to study how hackers can exploit this oversight. Their findings are described in a paper written by Guenevere Chen, an assistant professor in the UTSA Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and her former ...
