(Press-News.org) About The Study: Pre-pregnancy overweight or obesity, smoking during pregnancy, and formula-feeding in the first 6 months of life were each associated with adverse cardiovascular health trajectories early in life in this cohort study. Future work should examine whether interventions that address these factors would be effective in optimizing cardiovascular health in children.

Maternal hypertension and adverse neurodevelopment in a cohort of preterm infants
2025-04-29
About The Study: In this preterm cohort study, maternal hypertensive disorders of pregnancy were independently associated with adverse cognitive and language development, with accentuated associations observed in preeclampsia-exposed preterm infants, emphasizing the clinical importance of recognizing hypertensive disorders of pregnancy as a risk, enabling targeted risk management strategies for closer monitoring and aggressive early intervention in affected populations.

Menstrual cycle length changes following vaccination against influenza alone or with COVID-19
2025-04-29
About The Study: In this cohort study of individuals with regular menstrual cycles, influenza vaccine given alone or in combination with a COVID-19 vaccine was associated with a small but temporary change in menstrual cycle length. These findings may help clinicians confirm the utility of vaccination for patients with concerns about menstrual adverse effects of vaccination.

Study suggests dance and lullabies aren’t universal human behaviors
2025-04-29
Social singing and dance are often assumed to be hard-wired into the human condition; studies have supported the conclusion that these are common across cultures. But new research from a University of California, Davis, anthropologist challenges the idea that dance and lullabies are universal among humans. The study, published April 29 in Current Biology, draws on 43 years of research with the Northern Aché, an Indigenous population in Paraguay.
“Aside from church singing introduced by missionaries, Northern Aché adults sing alone and in a limited number of contexts,” said study author Manvir Singh, an assistant ...
Feeling stressed may lead to worsened respiratory symptoms, decreased quality of life
2025-04-29
Miami (April 29, 2025) – Increased perceived stress may cause worsened respiratory symptoms and decreased quality of life in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), according to a new study. The study is published in the March 2025 issue of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases: Journal of the COPD Foundation, a peer-reviewed, open-access journal.
Perceived stress is used to describe how overwhelmed or stressed a person feels based on their personal understanding of the situation. It is a psychosocial factor, along with loneliness, social isolation and emotional support, which have been shown to impact health outcomes in ...
Couple satisfaction linked to fewer cognitive issues with chemo
2025-04-29
COLUMBUS, Ohio – A satisfying intimate relationship may help diminish chemotherapy-related cognitive problems experienced by patients with breast cancer, a new study suggests.
General social support was also protective, but the association was less robust and lasting than a satisfying intimate partnership, which was characterized by fewer declines in both objective measures of cognitive setbacks and patient self-reports of subtle changes such as forgetting grocery list items and being unable to multitask.
The findings suggest that ...
Spiritual health practitioners reveal key motivations in psychedelic-assisted therapy practice
2025-04-29
ATLANTA, Georgia, USA, 29 April 2025 -- In a comprehensive Genomic Press research report published today, Emory University investigators have uncovered the complex motivations driving spiritual health practitioners (SHPs) – also known as healthcare chaplains – to pursue careers in the rapidly expanding field of psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT). The findings shed light on the deeply personal nature of facilitator engagement in psychedelic care and introduce novel training approaches aimed at improving therapeutic outcomes.
As psychedelic treatments gain traction for conditions like treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and existential distress ...
Nursing 2025: No relief in sight as burnout, stress and short staffing persist
2025-04-29
Cross Country Healthcare (NASDAQ: CCRN), a leader in workforce solutions and tech-enabled staffing, recruitment and advisory services, today released its fourth annual survey, “Beyond the Bedside: The State of Nursing in 2025” report. In partnership with Florida Atlantic University’s Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing, the study paints a sobering picture of a profession at a breaking point – where stress, burnout and chronic short staffing continue to jeopardize the well-being ...
Flares from magnetized stars can forge planets’ worth of gold, other heavy elements
2025-04-29
Astronomers have discovered a previously unknown birthplace of some of the universe’s rarest elements: a giant flare unleashed by a supermagnetized star. The astronomers calculated that such flares could be responsible for forging up to 10 percent of our galaxy’s gold, platinum and other heavy elements.
The discovery also resolves a decades-long mystery concerning a bright flash of light and particles spotted by a space telescope in December 2004. The light came from a magnetar — a type of star wrapped in magnetic fields trillions of times as strong as Earth’s — that had unleashed a giant flare. The powerful blast of radiation only lasted a few ...
Breast cancer mortality in women ages 20-49 significantly dropped between 2010 and 2020
2025-04-29
CHICAGO – From 2010 to 2020, breast cancer deaths among women ages 20-49 declined significantly across all breast cancer subtypes and racial/ethnic groups, with marked declines starting after 2016, according to an analysis of data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2025, held April 25-30.
Breast cancer incidence rates in women aged 20 to 49 years have been increasing over the past 20 ...
Cancer-related fatigue and depression may lead to decrease in recreational physical activities and quality of life in survivors
2025-04-29
CHICAGO – Cancer survivors who reported feeling cancer-related fatigue or depression reduced their recreational activities nearly twofold, with females more likely than males to report feeling either cancer-related fatigue or depression, according to a retrospective study presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2025, held April 25-30.
Cancer-related fatigue affects more than 80% of patients who receive chemotherapy or radiation therapy, while depression affects around 25% of cancer patients. Unlike typical fatigue, cancer-related fatigue doesn’t go away with rest and can persist for weeks, months, or even years, explained ...
