(Press-News.org) About The Study: In this cross-sectional study of births among individuals with a prior cesarean birth, patterns of severe maternal morbidity (SMM) by birth mode varied by race and ethnicity, with elevated rates of SMM among those from marginalized racial and ethnic groups with planned cesarean births. Future work should identify interventions to improve quality of care and promote equity for this population.

Individual- and area-level incarceration and mortality
2025-06-03
About The Study: In this cohort study of 3.26 million individuals in the U.S., results highlighted the dual burden of incarceration on health outcomes. Individuals who were incarcerated faced significantly higher risks of death, particularly from overdoses, and elevated county incarceration rates exacerbated individual-level mortality risks. These findings suggest the need for reforms in criminal justice and public health policies to address these elevated risks and their widespread implications.

New tool to generate aneuploidies and analyze their impact on development
2025-06-03
Barcelona, 3 June 2025 - More than 80% of early human embryos contain cells with an incorrect number of chromosomes—a phenomenon called aneuploidy. This typically stems from errors in chromosome segregation during the very first cell divisions. Remarkably, aneuploid cells are eliminated before implantation. When this does not happen, aneuploidy causes miscarriages or developmental disorders. Understanding how aneuploid cells are eliminated in these early stages is crucial for gaining insights into fertility, and it could also have implications for diseases like cancer.
A team led by Dr. Marco Milán at IRB Barcelona has developed a tool that can generate customized ...
SwRI-led research finds particles energized by magnetic reconnection in the nascent solar wind
2025-06-03
SAN ANTONIO — June 3, 2025 — New research led by a Southwest Research Institute scientist identified a new source of energetic particles near the Sun. These definitive observations were made by instruments aboard NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, which detected the powerful phenomena as the spacecraft dipped in and out of the solar corona.
These new results offer fresh perspectives on how magnetic reconnection could heat the solar atmosphere, which then transitions into the solar wind, and also how solar flares accelerate a small fraction of charged particles to ...
Aging increases brain’s sensitivity to hypoxia and blood-brain barrier damage in mice
2025-06-03
“As advanced age is associated with increased incidence of hypoxia-associated conditions such as asthma, emphysema, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, and apnea, our findings have important implications for many people.”
BUFFALO, NY — June 3, 2025 — A new research paper was published in Aging (Aging-US) on May 1, 2025, as the cover of Volume 17, Issue 5, titled “Defining the hypoxic thresholds that trigger blood-brain barrier disruption: the effect of age.”
In this ...
Eating more phytosterols could lower your risk of heart disease and diabetes
2025-06-03
Heart disease and type 2 diabetes rank among the leading causes of death and disability in the United States, and eating a healthy diet rich in plant-based foods can help to prevent or delay both of these conditions. New research suggests that a particular component of plant-based foods, known as phytosterol, could be instrumental in lowering the risk.
According to the study, people who consumed more phytosterol—a compound structurally similar to cholesterol found in some plant foods—had a significantly lower risk of both heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Higher phytosterol intake was also associated with markers of better insulin regulation and reduced inflammation, ...
Eating more sweet food may not sway sweet preference
2025-06-03
Turns out, your sweet tooth may not be shaped by your diet. Findings from a new randomized controlled trial suggest that eating more sweet-tasting foods doesn’t increase someone’s preference for sweet tastes.
The researchers found that after six months on diets with varying amounts of sweet foods, study participants' preference for sweetness stayed the same, no matter how much sweet-tasting foods they ate.
“We also found that diets with lower or higher dietary sweetness ...
Scientists propose new approach for classifying processed foods
2025-06-03
Recent years have seen growing scrutiny and debate around processed foods, but researchers have struggled to pin down what aspects of food processing are most relevant to health. Now, scientists have developed a system for classifying processed foods based on information about the health impacts associated with particular ingredients.
The new approach was developed by WISEcode, creator of an app that provides consumers with information about the food ingredients found in packaged goods.
“WISEcode’s approach is more nuanced and objective than previous classification ...
New study: Daily mango intake may support postmenopausal heart and metabolic health
2025-06-03
ORLANDO, Fla., June 3, 2025 – Each year, 1.3 million women enter menopause—a life stage during which heart disease risk rises significantly. Nearly half of American women are affected by cardiovascular disease, and since women spend up to 40% of their lives postmenopausal, managing heart health is especially important. A new study published in the Journal of the American Nutrition Association found that eating about two servings of mangos daily for two weeks (330 g, about 1.5 cups) significantly ...
Study finds daily cup of beans boosts heart and metabolic health
2025-06-03
A new study suggests that regularly eating a cup of beans a day may offer measurable benefits for heart and metabolic health. Incorporating beans into daily diets could serve as a simple, cost-effective way to reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
The 12-week study of 72 people with prediabetes showed an association between chickpea consumption and improved cholesterol levels, while eating black beans was linked with reduced inflammation.
"Individuals with prediabetes often exhibit ...
Freshwater fish in US carry introduced human-infecting parasites
2025-06-03
More than 90% of popular freshwater game fish in Southern California contained an introduced parasite capable of infecting humans, according to a new study from researchers at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
The parasites found in the study — two species of flatworms called trematodes — typically cause gastrointestinal problems, weight loss or lethargy when they infect humans. In some rare and severe cases, the parasites have caused strokes or heart attacks. The findings, published June 3 in the Journal of ...
