GLP-1 receptor agonists and sight-threatening ophthalmic complications in patients with type 2 diabetes
2025-08-11
About The Study: In this cohort study of individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) use was associated with a modestly increased risk of incident diabetic retinopathy (DR); however, fewer patients experienced sight-threatening DR complications, including blindness, even among those with preexisting DR. These findings suggest that all patients with T2D treated with GLP-1 RAs, regardless of preexisting DR, should be regularly screened and monitored for potential complications of T2D.

Semaglutide or tirzepatide and optic nerve and visual pathway disorders in type 2 diabetes
2025-08-11
About The Study: In this study of patients with type 2 diabetes who had no prior eye disorders, patients prescribed semaglutide or tirzepatide had an increased risk of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy and other optic nerve disorders, although the overall risk was low. These findings highlight the need for close monitoring of these conditions.

Trends and disparities in technology use and glycemic control in type 1 diabetes
2025-08-11
About The Study: In this cross-sectional study, there was a rapid increase in the use of diabetes technology and notable improvements in glycemic control among youths and adults with type 1 diabetes during the past 15 years. Nonetheless, the prevalence of glycemic control remained low, and racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic differences grew over time.

Why these hairy caterpillars swarm every decade – then vanish without a trace
2025-08-11
A 50-year love affair with hairy caterpillars reveals their squirmy secrets
Western tent caterpillars might not be on your mind every year, but during their peak outbreaks, they’re impossible to ignore—hairy larvae wriggling across roads and swarms of caterpillars climbing houses to form yellow silken cocoons.
They’re certainly on the mind of Dr. Judith Myers, professor emerita in the faculties of science and land and food systems, who has spent five decades studying this native moth species and their boom-and-bust population cycles.
In this Q&A, she ...
Kennesaw State physics professor receives three-year grant to create simulations for particle colliders
2025-08-11
Kennesaw State University researcher Andreas Papaefstathiou has received a three-year, $799,651 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to investigate the nature of nuclear matter through collisions of particles at high energies.
The findings from Papaefstathiou’s research will help elevate the study of particle physics in the context of nuclear collisions at Kennesaw State, as well as help improve the understanding and interpretation of data coming out of the proposed Electron Ion Collider at the Brookhaven National Laboratory ...
The last mile in Lung Cancer: The web tool turning guidelines into lives saved
2025-08-11
A web-based planning resource developed under the auspices of the American Cancer Society’s National Lung Cancer Roundtable is the rare intervention that marries high-level guidance with local operational reality. The tool is explicitly designed to help state coalitions, health systems, and public-health agencies translate consensus recommendations on lung-cancer prevention, screening, and treatment into stepwise, context-aware implementation plans.
After the storm: to rebuild or relocate?
2025-08-11
Study reveals how residents and government officials in a flood-prone community feel about adapting to climate change -- and how political views may play a role
As climate hazards escalate, communities facing repetitive disasters in high-risk areas must weigh the economic and social trade-offs of rebuilding versus relocating. A Risk Analysis study has found that residents and government officials may have different ideas about how public funds should be spent to adapt to extreme weather events brought on by climate change.

Study urges reform in mental health screening for incarcerated youth
2025-08-11
Approximately 70% of incarcerated youth in the United States have a mental disorder. The challenges in this population are profound – about 30% report suicidal thoughts, 12% have attempted suicide and 25% experience solitary confinement, a condition strongly associated with increased suicide risk. Depression is also widespread, affecting 10% to 25% of youth with moderate to severe symptoms.
Comprehensive mental health screenings play a vital role in identifying who requires immediate care, as well as those at risk for developing more serious issues. Without timely identification and intervention, ...
AI could help emergency rooms predict admissions, driving more timely, effective care
2025-08-11
New York, NY [August 11, 2025]— Artificial intelligence (AI) can help emergency department (ED) teams better anticipate which patients will need hospital admission, hours earlier than is currently possible, according to a multi-hospital study by the Mount Sinai Health System.
By giving clinicians advance notice, this approach may enhance patient care and the patient experience, reduce overcrowding and “boarding” (when a patient is admitted but remains in the ED because no bed is available), ...
Is writing with AI at work undermining your credibility?
2025-08-11
With over 75% of professionals using AI in their daily work, writing and editing messages with tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot or Claude has become a commonplace practice. While generative AI tools are seen to make writing easier, are they effective for communicating between managers and employees?
A new study of 1,100 professionals reveals a critical paradox in workplace communications: AI tools can make managers’ emails more professional, but regular use can undermine trust between them ...
