(Press-News.org) About The Study: This cohort study documented a large decrease in antidepressant use without an accompanying increase in psychotherapy during pregnancy. These findings, coupled with evidence of mental health challenges during and after pregnancy, suggest the need for increased focus on and discussion about mental health treatments by pregnant women and their clinicians.

Risk factors for and health status of socially isolated adults
2025-01-30
About The Study: The overall prevalence of social isolation in this study was 3%, which is lower than other determinants of health, such as smoking, poverty, and inadequate health insurance. The results indicate 3 broad and likely interrelated populations at risk for social isolation, including racial and ethnic minority groups, those with financial insecurity (i.e., unemployed, uninsured, lower income), and those with chronic health conditions, with depression being a large factor.

Community racial and ethnic representation among physicians in US internal medicine residency programs
2025-01-30
About The Study: In this cross-sectional study, underrepresented in medicine internal medicine residents remained underrepresented compared with their program’s county populations. These findings should inform racial and ethnic diversity policies to address the continuing underrepresentation among graduate medical education physicians, which adversely impacts the care of historically underserved communities.

Salt and nutritional content of foods advertised during televised professional football games
2025-01-30
About The Study: This cross-sectional study found that the foods advertised during National Football League games, the most watched sporting events in the U.S., were frequently high in sodium, calorie, and fat content. Although the effectiveness of sports advertising and paid sponsorships on food consumption has been studied mostly among children and young adults, adults with prevalent conditions, such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes and kidney failure, may also be vulnerable to deviations ...
KTU researcher on energy revolution: sustainability is still a work in process
2025-01-30
The world is experiencing more frequent and intense heat waves, floods, hurricanes, and wildfires due to rising greenhouse gas emissions. The energy sector is one of the largest contributors to climate change, yet it also plays a crucial role in the strategies needed to mitigate and adapt to its effects, contributing to the achievement of ambitious climate goals.
In this global context, Lithuania is undergoing a significant energy transformation as it moves toward a more sustainable and independent future.
By aligning its energy ...
Urgent action needed to keep Europe polio-free, warn heads of ECDC and WHO Europe
2025-01-30
An unusually high amount of poliovirus detections in several European countries in recent months has underscored the importance of keeping Europe polio-free, according to an editorial by European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) Director Pamela Rendi Wagner and World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Director for Europe Hans Kluge, which was published on Eurosurveillance. ‘A future without polio remains our goal, but it is by no means a certainty’, warn Rendi-Wagner and Kluge.
‘Every country must remain vigilant to detect the presence of polioviruses through sensitive surveillance systems, prepared to act quickly if any circulation is detected, ...
A new therapeutic target for a lethal form of heart failure: ALPK2
2025-01-30
Tatsuya Yoshida, Mikito Takefuji, and Toyoaki Murohara in the Department of Cardiology, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, identified an enzyme, alpha-kinase 2 (ALPK2) that is specifically expressed in the heart. They found that the enzyme may prevent a stiff heart through activating the gene TPM1 in heart muscle fibers. ALPK2 is a promising new therapeutic target for the treatment of heart failure, especially heart failure with preserved ejection function (HFpEF).
The number of heart failure patients is increasing worldwide. ...
Optimism can boost saving, especially for lower-income individuals
2025-01-30
WASHINGTON – Being optimistic about the future may help people save more money, and the effect appears strongest among those with lower incomes, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
The study found that people who scored higher on measures of “dispositional optimism” -- the tendency to expect positive outcomes -- saved more money over time compared with their less optimistic peers.
The research was published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
"We often think of optimism as rose-colored glasses ...
Findings may lead to blood test to predict risk of postpartum depression
2025-01-30
Women who go on to develop postpartum depression (PPD) may have characteristic levels of neuroactive steroids, molecules derived from the hormone progesterone, in their blood during the third trimester of pregnancy, according to a new study by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and the University of Virginia. These molecules influence the brain’s stress response and emotional regulation.
The findings, published XX in Neuropsychopharmacology, suggest that this may provide a way to identify women at risk of PPD before ...
New insights on radical trapping in 12-phosphatetraphene uncovered
2025-01-30
Muon spin rotation (µSR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique that helps to study the behavior of materials at the atomic level. It involves using muons—subatomic particles similar to protons but with a lighter mass. When introduced into a material, muons interact with local magnetic fields, providing unique insights into the material’s structure and dynamics, especially for highly reactive species such as radicals.
In a new study, a team of researchers led by Associate Professor Shigekazu Ito, from the School of Materials and Chemical Technology, Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan, ...
