(Press-News.org) About The Study: This study found disparities in continuous glucose monitor (CGM) prescriptions by language preference, showing patients with non–English language preference having less access to CGM. These findings align with those of previous research documenting racial and ethnic disparities in CGM access.

New hormonal pathway links oxytocin to insulin secretion in the pancreas
2025-06-17
“Although the detailed mechanism for the stimulation of intra-islet GLP-1 secretion remains to be elucidated and further studies are required, as far as we know, our present study is the first to report the effect of Oxt on inducing intra-islet GLP-1 secretion.”
BUFFALO, NY — June 17, 2025 — A new research paper was published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 17, Issue 5, on May 1, 2025, titled “Oxytocin modulates insulin and GLP-1 secretion in pancreatic islets.”
In this study, scientists from Fukushima Medical ...
Optimal management of erosive esophagitis: An evidence-based and pragmatic approach
2025-06-17
gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a prevalent gastrointestinal disorder, with up to 20% of patients developing complications like Erosive esophagitis (EE), Barrett’s esophagus, and esophageal adenocarcinoma. EE, characterized by mucosal necrosis and erosions, presents with symptoms ranging from heartburn to dysphagia and gastrointestinal bleeding. Despite effective pharmacologic treatments, 15% of patients exhibit refractory disease. This review synthesizes current evidence to guide clinicians in diagnosing and managing EE, balancing pharmacologic ...
For patients with multiple cancers, a colorectal cancer diagnosis could be lifesaving — or life-threatening
2025-06-17
Key Takeaways
Order matters: The sequence of colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnosis matters for patients with multiple primary cancers. Patients diagnosed with CRC first fared better than those diagnosed with a different cancer first.
Better prognosis than CRC alone: CRC diagnosed as the first of multiple primary malignancies is associated with better overall and cancer-specific survival compared to just CRC or CRC as a second primary cancer.
Hope, with a caveat: Patients who survive CRC have better prospects when ...
Digital inhalers may detect early warning signs of COPD flare-ups
2025-06-17
Miami (June 17, 2025) – Digital inhalers may help predict impending acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), according to a new study. The study is published in the May 2025 issue of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases: Journal of the COPD Foundation, a peer-reviewed, open-access journal.
COPD is an inflammatory lung disease, comprising several conditions, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema, and can be caused by genetics and irritants like smoke or pollution. The disease affects more than 30 million Americans and is the fourth leading ...
Living near harmful algal blooms reduces life expectancy with ALS
2025-06-17
Living close to cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms — which are present nationwide but are more common in coastal and Great Lake states — heightens the rate of dying from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, a study suggests.
These blooms occur when cyanobacteria, also called blue-green algae, grows dense and out of control, producing toxic agents that can poison people and the environment.
Researchers at Michigan Medicine surveyed participants with ALS who were seen at the University ...
Chemical analysis of polyphenolic content and antioxidant screening of 17 African propolis samples using RP-HPLC and spectroscopy
2025-06-17
Background and objectives
Propolis is a resinous material produced by honeybees. Its chemical composition is highly complex and varies significantly depending on geographic region and season. This intrinsic variability presents challenges to the standardization and quality control of propolis. This study aimed to evaluate the chemical composition, total phenolic content, and antioxidant potential of propolis collected from seventeen geographical regions across Africa.
Methods
A reverse-phase high-performance ...
Mount Sinai and Cancer Research Institute team up to improve patient outcomes in immunotherapy
2025-06-17
New York, NY [June 17, 2025]—In a new collaboration that could transform how cancer is treated, OCCAM Immune—a Mount Sinai initiative focused on understanding the immune system’s role in disease—is partnering with the Cancer Research Institute (CRI) to unlock the secrets of how the immune system responds to advanced therapies.
Under the agreement, OCCAM Immune and CRI have established a long-term plan to support ongoing immune monitoring across CRI’s clinical trials. The collaboration ...
Suicide risk elevated among young adults with disabilities
2025-06-17
Suicide remains one of the most pressing public health crises affecting young adults today, with devastating consequences. According to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suicide is currently the third leading cause of death among individuals aged 18 to 25, with a 51% increase in suicide deaths between 2000 and 2021.
While this trend is deeply concerning for the general population, it is even more alarming for young adults living with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) – a group long overlooked in suicide prevention efforts.

Safeguarding Mendelian randomization: editorial urges rethink in methodological rigor
2025-06-17
In recent years, Mendelian randomisation (MR) has revolutionised observational epidemiology by offering a tool to infer causal relationships using genetic variants as instrumental variables (IVs). However, its popularity has come at a cost. The editorial by Chen, Guillot, and Schneider in eGastroenterology (2025) titled "Attention to the misuse of Mendelian randomisation in medical research" delivers a timely critique of the field's current trajectory. As MR studies surge, so too do concerns about their quality and interpretive validity. The authors call for stricter methodological scrutiny and offer practical recommendations ...
Using AI to find persuasive public health messages and automate real-time campaigns
2025-06-17
AI can help public health agencies in the quest to end HIV. The United States is pursuing an initiative to end the HIV epidemic by 2030. To achieve this goal, public health agencies and organizations must remind the public about how best to avoid transmitting and acquiring the virus. Public health campaigns are costly, their effectiveness is seldom systematically assessed, and no systematic methods have been developed to build health campaigns in real-time. Dolores Albarracin and colleagues collected public health messages about HIV prevention and testing from US federal agencies, non-profit organizations, ...
