Trends in treatment need and receipt for substance use disorders in the US

JAMA Network Open

2025-01-06
(Press-News.org) About The Study: This cross-sectional study’s analysis underscores a public health crisis of substance use disorder. The prevalence of substance use disorder surged during the COVID-19 pandemic, yet the receipt of treatment declined initially as health care services were disrupted. Treatment rates began to recover in 2022, likely due to reopened treatment programs and increased telehealth use.

Gender-affirming medications rarely prescribed to US adolescents

2025-01-06
Embargoed for release: Monday, Jan. 6, 2025, 11:00 AM ET Key points: Less than 0.1% of U.S. adolescents were transgender and gender diverse (TGD) and prescribed puberty blockers or gender-affirming hormones in a study of private insurance claims representing 5.1 million patients ages eight to 17. No TGD patients under age 12 received hormones. According to the researchers, the findings counter a growing concern among policymakers that gender-affirming care is frequently over-prescribed to children. Boston, MA—Puberty blockers and gender-affirming hormones are rarely prescribed to U.S. transgender and gender diverse (TGD) adolescents, according to a new study from researchers ...

Burden of infections in early life and risk of infections and systemic antibiotics use in childhood

2025-01-06
About The Study: This longitudinal cohort study suggests that early-life infection burden may continue throughout childhood and is associated with later antibiotic treatments independent of social and environmental risk factors. These findings are important for prognosis and follow-up of children experiencing a high burden of common infections in early life.  Corresponding Author: To contact the corresponding author, Nicklas Brustad, MD, PhD, email nicklas.brustad@dbac.dk.

New study shows plummeting STIs with doxyPEP use

2025-01-06
Key Takeaways: A new study in JAMA Internal Medicine led by the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute examined whether doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis (doxyPEP) was associated with declines in bacterial sexually transmitted infections in routine care. The study represents the largest cohort of doxyPEP recipients reported globally to date. Findings showed doxyPEP was associated with a 79% reduction in chlamydia, 80% reduction in syphilis, and 12% reduction in gonorrhea. Boston, MA — A new study has found that rates of chlamydia and syphilis plummet among people prescribed doxycycline for sexually transmitted ...

Newly discovered 'kiss and capture' mechanism explains the formation of Pluto and its largest moon

Newly discovered kiss and capture mechanism explains the formation of Pluto and its largest moon
2025-01-06
Billions of years ago, in the frigid outer reaches of our solar system, two icy worlds collided. Rather than destroying each other in a cosmic catastrophe, they spun together like a celestial snowman, finally separating while remaining forever linked in orbit. This is how Pluto and its largest moon, Charon, originated, according to a new University of Arizona study that challenges decades of scientific assumptions. A study led by Adeene Denton, a NASA postdoctoral fellow who conducted the research at the U of A Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, has revealed this unexpected "kiss and capture" mechanism, which could help scientists better ...

New method tracks the 'learning curve' of AI to decode complex genomic data

2025-01-06
Introducing Annotatability—a powerful new framework to address a major challenge in biological research by examining how artificial neural networks learn to label genomic data. Genomic datasets often contain vast amounts of annotated samples, but many of these samples are annotated either incorrectly or ambiguously. Borrowing from recent advances in the fields of natural language processing and computer vision, the team used artificial neural networks (ANNs) in a non-conventional way: instead of merely using the ANNs to make predictions, the group inspected the difficulty with which they learned to label ...

Nutrient enrichment: an emerging threat to tropical forests

Nutrient enrichment: an emerging threat to tropical forests
2025-01-06
Tropical forests, often referred to as the "lungs of the Earth," are essential for sustaining life on our planet. They provide clean air, water, and unparalleled biodiversity. While deforestation due to slash-and-burn agriculture, mining, and logging remains the most recognized threat, less visible but equally dangerous forces are at work. A new study reveals that nutrient enrichment – driven by human activities such as agriculture and fossil fuel combustion – poses a significant risk to the delicate dynamics of tropical forests. The research, conducted by an international team of scientists ...

Scientists identify low-cost adsorbents for removing impurities from landfill gas

2025-01-06
Landfill gas, a mixture of gases produced when garbage breaks down within landfills, contains unwanted traces of siloxane compounds, which are chemical structures containing silicon and oxygen bonds and are found in various products like cosmetics and cleaning agents. These compounds can damage the equipment used to generate energy from landfill gas. In new research published in Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy, investigators have identified low-cost adsorbents for siloxane removal from landfill gas. The research highlights the potential of ...

CDC grant funds initiatives for breast cancer patients

2025-01-06
Weill Cornell Medicine has received a five-year, $2.3 million grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to improve equitable access to care, quality of life and survival outcomes for young people with all stages of breast cancer. The grant will enable Weill Cornell Medicine to enhance care coordination for patients and caregivers to optimize support of physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual needs, while offering culturally relevant resources and targeted interventions. The initiative ...

How can similar news stories influence financial markets? Here’s what investors need to know

How can similar news stories influence financial markets? Here’s what investors need to know
2025-01-06
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. -- Have you ever noticed a swath of similar business news stories about a particular topic during a Google search, all of them appearing to be reported by different news outlets? Why might a story on a news site in New York be so similar to one from a site in, for example, Wisconsin? It’s likely because the same media company owns them — and it’s become more commonplace nationwide as news outlets grapple with dwindling resources. A new study co-authored by Flora Sun, assistant professor of accounting at Binghamton University’s School of Management, ...

Mixed signals: How the brain interprets social cues

Mixed signals: How the brain interprets social cues
2025-01-06
Imagine you’re at a dinner party, but you can’t smell the food cooking or hear the dinner bell. Sounds like a dream, right? What if it wasn’t? “When we experience the world and interact with people, we use all our senses,” Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Professor Stephen Shea says. “That’s true for animals and humans.” However, that’s not always the case in developmental disorders like autism. These conditions can affect how the brain processes incoming information, making it difficult to interpret the social cues that drive conversations, dates, and other ...
