Increased prescribing of ADHD medication and real-world outcomes over time
JAMA Psychiatry
2025-06-25
(Press-News.org) About The Study: In this study, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medication remained associated with reduced risks of several serious real-world outcomes (self-harm, unintentional injury, traffic crashes, and crime). However, the magnitude of these associations appears to have decreased alongside rising prescription rates over time. Thus, it is important to regularly evaluate medication use in different patient populations.

In a first-of-its-kind study, Stanford researchers have measured how the abundance of ocean life has changed over the past half-billion years of Earth’s history.
Overall, the total mass of marine organisms has generally increased over the past 500 million years, the study showed, albeit with setbacks after major extinction events. The findings align with evidence for a similar rise in marine biodiversity – the total variety of organisms – over the past half-eon from studies dating as far back as the 19th century, suggesting an evolutionary connection between biomass and biodiversity. ...

About The Study: In this case-control study of vaccine effectiveness, 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccines were estimated to provide additional effectiveness against medically attended COVID-19, with the highest and most sustained estimates against critical illness. These results highlight the importance of receiving recommended COVID-19 vaccination for adults 18 years or older.

Chemists from The University of Manchester and The Australian National University (ANU) have engineered a new type of molecule that can store information at temperatures as cold as the dark side of the moon at night, with major implications for the future of data storage technologies.
The findings, published in Nature, could pave the way for next-generation hardware about the size of a postage stamp that can store 100 times more digital data than current technologies.
“The ...

A new multi-state study led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) VISION Network – including Regenstrief Institute – has provided the most comprehensive assessment to date of the effectiveness of 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccines among adults in the U.S. during the XBB and JN.1 Omicron subvariant waves.
Data suggest that receiving updated COVID-19 vaccines remains crucial, especially for older adults and those at increased risk for severe outcomes, and underscores the additional protection provided ...

Key Points:
Infectious disease (ID) physicians are among the lowest paid of all medical specialties, leading to declining interest among medical students and a national shortage.
To address this, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) introduced a new add-on code increasing payments by ~20% in 2025, the first specialty-specific workforce incentive in the Medicare fee schedule.
This new analysis offers three recommendations for CMS to guide implementation and evaluation of this new payment model.

The discovery of an unknown organelle inside our cells could open the door to new treatments for devastating inherited diseases.
The organelle, a type of specialized structure, has been dubbed a “hemifusome” by its discoverers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health. This little organelle has a big job helping our cells sort, recycle and discard important cargo within themselves, the scientists say. The new discovery could help scientists better ...

A study published today in Geophysical Research Letters reveals that glaciers in western Canada, the United States, and Switzerland lost around 12 percent of their ice between 2001 and 2024. A 2021 study in Nature showed that glacial melt doubled between 2010 and 2019 compared with the first decade of the twenty-first century. This new paper builds on that research, says lead author Brian Menounos, and shows that in the years since, glacial melt continued at an alarming pace.
“Over the last four years, glaciers lost twice as much ice compared to the previous decade,” ...

PITTSBURGH, June 25, 2025 – Clinicians who work with elite college athletes and military cadets should be aware of the association between higher body mass index (BMI) and worse concussion recovery, suggests new University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine research published today in Sports Medicine.
The study found that athletes and cadets with a BMI equal to or above 30 had increased inflammatory biomarkers, more severe concussion symptoms and worse cognition following a concussion than those with lower BMI.
These findings support previous research indicating that obesity correlates with increased ...
