bout The Study: The findings of this study suggest that while most clinicians report screening youths for substance use disorders at least sometimes, a substantial proportion screened only intermittently. Efforts to improve screening rates through education and systems-based practice changes may facilitate offering anticipatory guidance and substance use disorder treatment in all youth-serving clinical settings.

LA JOLLA, CA—Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-borne pathogen that has been identified in more than 110 countries around the world. The virus typically causes flu-like symptoms, but it can also trigger chronic, severe joint pain in some people.
Researchers at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) are working to understand how a viral infection can cause persistent joint pain that closely resembles rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease.
In a new study, LJI scientists share a critical first ...

The authors detail how a balanced microbiome (eubiosis) sustains immune tolerance and systemic health, while dysbiosis disturbs gut barrier integrity and promotes inflammatory cascades. This section underscores Toll-like receptors, the gut-lung axis, and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) as mediators of microbiome–immune dialogue. Case studies link microbiota composition to diseases ranging from COVID-19 and chronic lung conditions to autoimmune disorders, mental health, and even zoonotic infections like leptospirosis. These findings emphasize ...

Regional and urban economics employs theoretical modeling to examine how real-world factors shape regional development. These models provide a rigorous framework for evidence-based policymaking, offering insights to promote balanced economic growth and foster sustainable development.
New updates to an existing theoretical model incorporate environmental pollution and a variable called firm heterogeneity which captures productivity distribution patterns among industrial and manufacturing firms, to better analyze how industrial cluster forms, where manufacturers operate, and where workers choose to live. ...

A research paper by scientists at Beijing Institute of Technology presented a magnetic shaftless propeller-like millirobot (MSPM) that possesses the capabilities of rotating-based multimodal 3-dimensional motion and cargo transportation with untethered manipulation.
The research paper, published on Mar. 12, 2025 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems.
In recent years, magnetic miniature robots have shown great potential in biomedical, environmental remediation, micro control and other fields, especially in thrombosis treatment, drug delivery, endoscopic ...

CORVALLIS, Ore. – A novel analysis suggests more than 3,500 animal species are threatened by climate change and also sheds light on huge gaps in fully understanding the risk to the animal kingdom.
The study was published today in BioScience.
“We’re at the start of an existential crisis for the Earth’s wild animals,” said Oregon State University’s William Ripple, who led the study. “Up till now, the primary cause of biodiversity loss has been the twin threats of overexploitation and habitat alteration, but as climate change intensifies, we expect it to become a third ...

OAK BROOK, Ill. – Abbreviated breast MRI shortens exam time while retaining a high level of diagnostic accuracy of breast cancer in women with extremely dense breasts, according to an article published today in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
Women with extremely dense breasts have a high proportion of dense glandular and fibrous tissue and very little fatty tissue. This can be a risk factor for breast cancer due to the similar appearance of tumors and dense breast tissue on mammograms.
Supplemental MRI screening is generally recommended for women with extremely dense ...

OAK BROOK, Ill. – Radiologists, computer scientists and informaticists outline pitfalls and best practices to mitigate bias in artificial intelligence (AI) models in an article published today in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
“AI has the potential to revolutionize radiology by improving diagnostic accuracy and access to care,” said lead author Paul H. Yi, M.D., associate member (associate professor) in the Department of Radiology and director of Intelligent Imaging Informatics at ...

OAK BROOK, Ill. – A type of artificial intelligence called fine-tuned large language models (LLMs) greatly enhances error detection in radiology reports, according to a new study published today in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). Researchers said the findings point to an important role for this technology in medical proofreading.
Radiology reports are crucial for optimal patient care. Their accuracy can be compromised by factors like errors in speech recognition software, variability ...
