Integrated behavioral health services and psychosocial symptoms in children

JAMA Network Open

2025-09-16

(Press-News.org) About The Study: In this cohort study of children at federally qualified health centers implementing behavioral health integration, receipt of encounters with behavioral health clinicians and psychotropic prescriptions were associated with improved psychosocial symptoms, suggesting that expanding integrated pediatric behavioral health care might enhance behavioral health outcomes among marginalized pediatric populations.

Disparities in utilization of uterine fibroid embolization

2025-09-16

About The Study: In this cross-sectional study, uterine fibroid embolization was underutilized with significant disparities across socioeconomic factors. Further efforts are needed to equitably expand access to uterine fibroid embolization across the country. Corresponding author: To contact the corresponding author, Tarig S.

Chapman University research reveals tropical rainforest soils may fuel climate change as the Earth warms – Accelerating global warming

2025-09-16

Orange, Calif. — Sept. 16, 2025 — A new study led by the U.S. Forest Service, with Chapman University as a key senior collaborator, published in Nature Communications, suggests the Earth’s own tropical soils may contribute to climate change as global warming continues, releasing vast amounts of carbon dioxide (CO₂) as they warm and potentially accelerating a dangerous feedback loop. Tropical forests have long been viewed as critical allies in the fight against climate change, natural systems that absorb excess carbon and cool the planet. But this new research shows that warming itself is causing ...

Older adults with Parkinson’s disease have increased brain amyloid without dementia

2025-09-16

“We believe that our findings will incentivize further studies to identify the best disease-modifying therapy for early PD without dementia.” BUFFALO, NY — September 16, 2025 — A new research paper was published in Volume 17, Issue 8 of Aging-US on August 6, 2025, titled “Age-related trends in amyloid positivity in Parkinson’s disease without dementia.” In this study, led by first author Keiko Hatano and corresponding author Masashi Kameyama from the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute for Geriatrics and Gerontology in Japan, researchers ...

Deep learning model estimates cancer risk of lung nodules

2025-09-16

OAK BROOK, Ill. – An artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning tool that estimates the malignancy risk of lung nodules achieved high cancer detection rates while significantly reducing false-positive results. Results of the study, which used data from large, multi-site lung cancer screening trials, were published today in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). Lung cancer remains a significant global health issue, causing the most cancer-related deaths worldwide. Screening high-risk individuals with low-dose chest CT has been shown to reduce lung cancer mortality. However, early screening trials have reported high false-positive rates, leading ...

Study reveals how different messages motivate people to take conservation actions

2025-09-16

ITHACA, NY—A new study published today in the journal Biological Conservation finds that different communication approaches can influence whether people take action to prevent birds from colliding with windows, a leading cause of bird mortality that kills over 1 billion birds annually in the United States and Canada. Researchers from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology tested different message framing approaches among bird enthusiasts and the general public to understand what motivates people to make their windows safer for birds. “If we want people to take action to reduce bird and window collisions, we really have to understand how to communicate with ...

SwRI, UT San Antonio collaboration uses machine learning to detect pre-ignition in hydrogen engines

2025-09-16

SAN ANTONIO — September 16, 2025 — Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and The University of Texas at San Antonio (UT San Antonio) are collaborating to create a detection system to identify pre-ignition in hydrogen internal combustion engines (H2-ICE). Researchers will combine machine learning (ML) algorithms and artificial intelligence with onboard sensors to help detect pre-ignitions based on their tell-tale signs. Pre-ignition occurs when unprompted combustion happens inside an engine before the prescribed spark timing. These abnormal, uncontrolled ...

A new way to produce ammonia more efficiently

2025-09-16

Ammonia is used in fertilizer and many industrial processes. It is also seen as a promising way to store and transport energy, as it is safer and easier to handle ammonia than hydrogen gas. Using plasma, the fourth state of matter, scientists have created a material that boosts ammonia production. “If one needs industrial hydrogen someplace else than where it is made, it will be easier and safer to transport hydrogen as ammonia and store it until it is needed. Ideally then one would decompose the ...

Kennesaw State secures grant to build community of AI educators

2025-09-16

The International Data Corporation projects that artificial intelligence will add $19.9 trillion to the global economy by 2030, yet educators are still defining how students should learn to use the technology responsibly. To better equip AI educators and to foster a sense of community among those in the field, Kennesaw State University Department Chair and Professor of Information Technology (IT) Shaoen Wu, along with assistant professors Seyedamin Pouriyeh and Chloe “Yixin” Xie, were recently awarded two National Science Foundation ...

Impact of decline in rescue breathing on child survival in Japan

2025-09-16

Cardiac arrest happens when the heart stops pumping blood properly, cutting off oxygen to the brain and other vital organs. In these emergencies, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can help keep blood and oxygen moving until medical help arrives. For children, CPR usually needs both chest compressions and rescue breaths, because many cases are caused by breathing problems such as drowning, choking, or serious illness. During the COVID-19 pandemic, fear of infection changed the way CPR was practiced. Public health guidelines for adults recommended chest compression-only CPR (CO-CPR) to minimize the risk of ...

High-status producers have the support to radically shift their artists’ image, while mid-status producers follow trends

2025-09-16

In markets where producers drive the creative process, high-status producers can opt for more radical changes for their artists’ image, whereas middle-status producers are likely to shift their artists’ image to follow popular categories. The new research, published in Strategic Management Journal, uses Korean pop music — or K-pop — to demonstrate how the status of entertainment agencies affects how idol groups shift categories, an effect that is also limited by the artists’ gender. The research — from Heeyon Kim of Cornell University, Yoonjeoung Heo of Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, and Chi-Nien Chung of Hong ...
