(Press-News.org) About The Study: This secondary analysis of the BP-CATCH trial found that among children with high blood pressure measurements, racial and ethnic disparities in receiving nutrition, lifestyle, and all 3 counseling topics were significant, although no significant disparities in receipt of weight counseling were noted. Racial disparities in receipt of counseling were not observed in participants with and without obesity.

Longitudinal analysis of obesity drug use and public awareness
2025-01-29
About The Study: This repeated cross-sectional study including 69.2 million obesity management drug dispensed prescriptions revealed an increase from 0.76 million in July 2017 to 1.5 million in February 2024, with an upward trend in monthly phentermine and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist prescriptions. There was a robust positive correlation between public online search activity for semaglutide and tirzepatide and their prescription trends. The joint surge in prescriptions and online searches ...
Mental health disparities by sexual orientation and gender identity in the All of Us Research Program
2025-01-29
About The Study: In this cross-sectional study of participants in the All of Us Research Program, there were significant mental health disparities between participants in sexual and gender minority (SGM) and cisgender heterosexual (non-SGM) groups. These findings underscore the need for tailored mental health interventions to improve the well-being of SGM populations, while noting that the associations do not imply causality but reflect the stigma and minority stress experienced by these individuals.

Research contrasts drought sensitivity of Eurasian and North American grasslands
2025-01-29
EMBARGO: THIST CONTENT IS UNDER EMBARGO UNTIL 11 AM U.S. EASTERN STANDARD TIME ON JANUARY 29, 2025. INTERESTED MEDIA MAY RECIVE A PREVIEW COPY OF THE JOURNAL ARTICLE IN ADVANCE OF THAT DATE OR CONDUCT INTERVIEWS, BUT THE INFORMATION MAY NOT BE PUBLISHED, BROADCAST, OR POSTED ONLINE UNTIL AFTER THE RELEASE WINDOW.
Grasslands in Asia and North America differ in their responses to drought, according to a new paper in the journal Nature led by faculty at Colorado State University. The findings show that differences in the dominant grasses and lower species diversity in the Eurasian Steppe grasslands may make it more vulnerable to drought ...
Life’s building blocks in Bennu samples
2025-01-29
Japanese collaborators detected all five nucleobases — building blocks of DNA and RNA — in samples returned from asteroid Bennu by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission.
Asteroids, small airless bodies within the inner Solar System, are theorized to have contributed water and chemical building blocks of life to Earth billions of years ago. Although meteorites on Earth come from asteroids, the combination of exposure to moisture in the atmosphere and to an uncontrolled biosphere means that interpreting the data from them is challenging. Pristine samples collected from asteroids in space would be the ideal candidates, and successful sample ...
Pairing old and new technologies could unlock advances in plankton science
2025-01-29
Advances in technology – such as microscopic imaging and molecular techniques – have the potential to transform our understanding of global ocean health, according to the authors of a new study.
However, they should not be employed at the expense of long-term plankton monitoring programmes, which continue to provide an essential role in tracking how our seas are shifting in the face of a changing global climate and are essential for informing routine assessments of marine biodiversity required by ...
Pristine asteroid samples reveal secrets of the ancient solar system
2025-01-29
Curtin University researchers have gained an unprecedented glimpse into the early history of our solar system through some of the most well-preserved asteroid samples ever collected, potentially transforming our understanding of planetary formation and the origins of life.
Experts from Curtin’s School of Earth and Planetary Sciences were selected to be amongst the first in the world to inspect samples collected during NASA’s seven-year, OSIRIS-REx mission to the ancient asteroid Bennu.
Asteroid Bennu is thought to be made of rubble fragments from a 4.5-billion-year-old parent body, containing materials that originated ...
ISarcoPRM algorithm: advancing global sarcopenia diagnosis

“One of the most commonly used diagnostic methods, appendicular lean mass (ALM) measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) has been reported to fail to precisely detect age-related loss of muscle mass […]”
BUFFALO, NY- January 29, 2025 – A new editorial was published in Volume 16, Issue 22 of Aging (Aging-US) on December 11, 2024, titled “ISarcoPRM algorithm for global operationalization of sarcopenia diagnosis.”
In this editorial, Pelin ...
Pathogenic variants in retinoblastoma suggest a potential gain-of-function mutation
2025-01-29
“In other words, the pR552* mutant behaves more like a gain-of-function or oncogenic mutant. Indeed, a family carrying this mutation showed complete penetrance and high expressivity.”
BUFFALO, NY- January 29, 2025 – A new research paper was published in Volume 16 of Genes & Cancer on January 20, 2025, entitled, “Analysis of pathogenic variants in retinoblastoma reveals a potential gain of function mutation.”
Researchers from Instituto de Física Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí and Hospital Central “Ignacio Morones Prieto” have found a new way a gene mutation might contribute ...
AAAS enters pilot with ProRata to bolster standards for transparency and reliability in AI searches
2025-01-29
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the nonprofit publisher of the Science family of journals, is conducting a pilot with ProRata as part of its commitment to communicate trusted scientific findings broadly. ProRata is an AI company guided by the belief that content creators should receive attribution for their work. Partnering with AAAS will strengthen ProRata’s new AI-driven search engine, Gist.ai, while showing how content that powers AI-driven searches can be sustainably attributed.
The pilot – ProRata’s first with a scientific publisher – ...
Improving the way flash memory is made
2025-01-29
To store ever more data in electronic devices of the same size, the manufacturing processes for these devices need to be studied in greater detail. By investigating new approaches to making digital memory at the atomic scale, researchers engaged in a public-private partnership are aiming to address the endless demand for denser data storage.
One such effort has focused on developing the ideal manufacturing process for a type of digital memory known as 3D NAND flash memory, which stacks data vertically to increase storage density. The narrow, deep holes required for this type of memory can be etched ...
