Influenza vaccination among people with Medicare by race and ethnicity, education, and rurality

(Press-News.org)

About The Study: In this cross-sectional survey study, although overall influenza vaccination rates changed little from 2019 to 2022, they increased substantially for Black and Hispanic older adults, particularly those in rural areas, and decreased for some groups of white older adults. Determining the reasons for these divergent changes in influenza vaccination rates is a high priority for future research.

Neighborhood characteristics and mental health from childhood to adolescence

2025-04-10
About The Study: In this cohort study of children and adolescents, associations between neighborhood characteristics and mental health evolved from childhood through adolescence. These findings suggest that targeted interventions in disadvantaged neighborhoods and strategies to protect young children from air pollution are essential. A comprehensive approach is recommended to incorporate air pollution, green space, and socioeconomic status not only in residential neighborhoods but also in other settings, such as schools.

Centrifugation liver support using regional mesylate anticoagulation is safe for liver failure patients with high risk of bleeding

Centrifugation liver support using regional mesylate anticoagulation is safe for liver failure patients with high risk of bleeding
2025-04-10
Background and objectives Patients with acute liver failure (ALF) or acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) are at high risk of bleeding with traditional artificial liver support systems. To address the bleeding risk in liver failure patients, the safety of regional mesylate anticoagulation (RMA) in centrifugation artificial liver support systems (cALSS) is proposed for study. Methods In this prospective single-arm study, ALF and ACLF patients were treated with cALSS using RMA. Coagulation function was monitored, and the predictors of mesylate dose were analyzed ...

New platform leverages AI and quantum computing to predict salmonella antimicrobial resistance

New platform leverages AI and quantum computing to predict salmonella antimicrobial resistance
2025-04-10
A recent study published in Engineering presents a novel approach to predict Salmonella antimicrobial resistance, a growing concern for public health. The research, led by Le Zhang from Sichuan University, combines large language models (LLMs) and quantum computing to develop a predictive platform. Salmonella is a common foodborne pathogen. The overuse of antimicrobials and genetic mutations have led to the rise of antimicrobial-resistant Salmonella strains, making it crucial to predict resistance accurately for effective treatment. However, traditional methods like bacterial antimicrobial susceptibility tests (ASTs) are inefficient, ...

Transplanting Posidonia oceanica: a major scientific advance for the conservation of seagrass meadows

Transplanting Posidonia oceanica: a major scientific advance for the conservation of seagrass meadows
2025-04-10
A study has resulted in the transplantation of 384 m² of Posidonia oceanica seagrass on the scale of an industrial project as part of maritime works in Monaco. This success challenges the idea that these ecosystems are "non-transplantable". This unprecedented experiment, conducted over a period of eight years, opens up new prospects for the preservation of seagrass meadows threatened by coastal urbanisation. As part of the construction project for the "Mareterra" district in Monaco, the marine works involved the destruction of several hectares of Posidonia oceanica meadows, an underwater plant essential to the Mediterranean ...

Patients' experience of healthcare should be a greater part of assessing quality

Patients experience of healthcare should be a greater part of assessing quality
2025-04-10
Everyone wants good quality healthcare, but what exactly is quality and how do you measure it? Is it to do with the waiting time for home care services? Or how many nursing home residents have had medical supervision in the past year? Or whether the medication lists have been checked recently? “These are important aspects that are all worth monitoring. The problem is that quality cannot be easily reduced to a quantifiable value,”said Randi Olsson Haave, an assistant professor and PhD research fellow at the Norwegian University of Science ...

Beijing (China) and Berlin (Germany) April 10, 2025 - Tsinghua University Press (TUP), the leading university press in China, and ResearchGate, the professional network for researchers, has announced an expansion of its Journal Home partnership, which was the first of its kind with a Chinese publisher last year. This expansion more than doubles TUP’s coverage, now including 11 open access titles. Since 1980, TUP has maintained a strong presence in China’s higher education, science, and technology sectors. The expanded partnership will increase the visibility of 10,000+ research articles, spanning nano research, AI, computing, ...

Therapy-related b-lymphoblastic leukemia following treatment for multiple myeloma with unusual surface light chain expression: a case report

2025-04-10
Background Therapy-related B-lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) following treatment for multiple myeloma is a rare occurrence. Despite its rarity and the lack of recognition by the World Health Organization as a distinct disease entity, previous publications indicate its possible emergence following myeloma treatment. Case presentation The patient is a 65-year-old gentleman with a history of IgG kappa multiple myeloma, status post multiple lines of therapy. The patient presented with a fever, and a complete blood count showed cytopenia. Bone marrow morphologic evaluation revealed numerous blasts. ...

Poo-romising frontier in fecal microbiota transplantation

Poo-romising frontier in fecal microbiota transplantation
2025-04-10
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a widespread bacterial infection associated with gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric cancer. While conventional antibiotic-based treatments have been the gold standard for eradication, their efficacy has been steadily declining due to the alarming rise in antibiotic resistance. This has spurred interest in alternative therapies, one of which is fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). FMT is a novel therapeutic approach that involves transferring microbiota from a healthy donor to a patient’s ...
