(Press-News.org) About The Study: In this multicenter cohort study of adults undergoing lung cancer screening, screening adherence was associated with increased overall and early-stage lung cancer detection rates; however, adherence decreased annually after baseline screening, suggesting that it is an important lung cancer screening quality metric.

Geographic access to cancer care and treatment and outcomes of early-stage non–small cell lung cancer
2025-03-18
About The Study: In this cohort study, geographic access to cancer care was associated with guideline-recommended treatment for early-stage non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and outcomes, particularly in socially marginalized patients, underscoring the importance of ensuring appropriate geographic allocations of cancer care resources and addressing travel barriers to health care to improve NSCLC treatment, prognosis, and equity.

Trauma surgeons propose ‘precision transfusion’ approach to pre-hospital care
2025-03-18
When someone is traumatically injured, giving them blood products before they arrive at the hospital – such as at the scene or during emergency transport – can improve their likelihood of survival and recovery. But patients with certain traumatic injuries have better outcomes when administered specific blood components.
University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and UPMC scientist-surgeons announced today in Cell Reports Medicine that giving plasma that has been separated from other parts of donated blood improves outcomes in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) or shock, whereas giving unseparated or “whole” ...
New artificial intelligence tool accelerates disease treatments
2025-03-18
University of Virginia School of Medicine scientists have created a computational tool to accelerate the development of new disease treatments. The tool goes beyond current artificial intelligence (AI) approaches by identifying not just which patient populations may benefit but also how the drugs work inside cells.
The researchers have demonstrated the tool’s potential by identifying a promising candidate to prevent heart failure, a leading cause of death in the United States and around the world.
The new AI tool called LogiRx, can predict how drugs will affect biological processes in the body, helping scientists understand the effects the drugs will have ...
CCA appoints expert panel on enhancing national research infrastructure
2025-03-18
Canada’s research infrastructure is essential to the future of science and innovation, economic prosperity, and well-being throughout the country. At the request of Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada, the CCA has formed an expert panel to support the federal government in optimizing Canada’s research infrastructure—from its national-scale scientific facilities to its digital platforms and collaborative networks—through evidence synthesis and strategic insights. Janet King, Chair of Polar Knowledge Canada’s Board of Directors and Vice-Chair of the Canadian Light Source’s Board of Directors, will serve ...
Rising Stars: PPPL researchers honored in 2024 Physics of Plasmas Early Career Collection
2025-03-18
Celebrating fresh thinking in plasma physics is essential to the continued growth of the field, and this year’s Physics of Plasmas Early Career Collection highlights some of the most promising new voices pushing the boundaries of discovery.
The prestigious collection highlights top papers from all areas of plasma physics research authored by individuals who defended their dissertations within the past five years. This year, three researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) are featured in the Early Career Collection:

Add some spice: Curcumin helps treat mycobacterium abscessus
2025-03-18
Highlights:
Mycobacterium abscessus can cause dangerous lung infections.
Treatment usually requires a combination of antibiotics for more than a year.
Researchers in China report that curcumin, found in turmeric, can enhance treatment with bedaquiline, an antimycobacterial.
Animal studies showed that treatment with the combination led to a faster clearance of the infection.
Washington, D.C.—Mycobacterium abscessus is a fast-growing, pathogenic mycobacteria that can cause lung infections, and people who have respiratory conditions or are immunocompromised ...
Coastal guardians pioneer a new way to protect the Florida Keys’ shorelines
2025-03-18
By 2050, sea levels along the United States coast are expected to rise by 0.25 to 0.30 meters, increasing flooding in low-lying areas. Due to its unique geography and infrastructure network, the Florida Keys is particularly at risk of climate hazards such as sea level rise, hurricanes and flooding. Since 2015, the Florida Keys has experienced four hurricanes – Irma (2107), Ian (2022), Helene (2024) and Milton (2024).
Nature-based solutions, such as restoring mangroves and coastal strands, can help mitigate these risks by stabilizing shorelines, improving ecosystems ...
Study shows rise in congenital heart defects in states with restrictive abortion laws
2025-03-18
The incidence of babies born with serious heart defects, known as cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD), rose in states that enacted restrictive abortion laws following the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2022 ruling that put abortion laws in the hands of the states, according to a study being presented at the American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Session (ACC.25).
The study is the first to look at rates of congenital heart defects since the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ...
Healthy plant-based foods could help people with cardiometabolic disorders live longer
2025-03-18
People with cardiometabolic disorders—such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease—could increase their chances of living longer by adopting a healthy plant-based diet, according to a study being presented at the American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Session (ACC.25).
While previous studies have assessed the benefits of plant-based diets in a general population, this new study is the first to focus on their benefits in people with cardiometabolic disorders, which are rising in prevalence worldwide and bring an increased risk of premature death.
“Among populations with cardiometabolic disorders, ...
Cannabis users face substantially higher risk of heart attack
2025-03-18
Marijuana is now legal in many places, but is it safe? Two new studies add to mounting evidence that people who use cannabis are more likely to suffer a heart attack than people who do not use the drug, even among younger and otherwise healthy adults. The findings are from a retrospective study of over 4.6 million people published in JACC Advances and a meta-analysis of 12 previously published studies being presented at the American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Session (ACC.25).
Marijuana use has risen in the United States, especially in states where it is legal to buy, sell and ...
