(Press-News.org) About The Study: In this cohort study, early extracranial surgery was associated with adverse function, cognition, and disability after traumatic brain injury (TBI) rated as moderate-severe or with radiographic abnormalities on computed tomography (CT) scan regardless of Glasgow Coma Scale at index admission but not after orthopedic trauma or CT− TBI. Further studies may help determine whether surgical timing or other interventions can improve the observed long-term deficits.

Enduring outcomes of COVID-19 work absences on the US labor market
2025-10-10
About The Study: In this cohort study of employed workers in the U.S., the new year-round baseline for work absences appeared to be on par with the levels formerly confined to pre-pandemic influenza season conditions. Policymakers should consider the consequences for workers, including the value of policies and actions that mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace. This study additionally highlights the potential for using nationally representative labor market data to monitor the impacts of ...
Affirmative action repeal and racial and ethnic diversity in us medical school admissions
2025-10-10
About The Study: The findings of this study suggest that elimination of race-conscious admissions coincided with declines in medical school diversity, threatening progress toward health care equity. Medical schools must explore alternative admissions strategies, such as holistic review processes that account for structural barriers. Without such efforts, reduced diversity in medical education may worsen existing health disparities.

Cancer progression illuminated by new multi-omics tool
2025-10-10
A new tool developed by Weill Cornell Medicine and the University of Adelaide investigators has enhanced the ability to track multiple gene mutations while simultaneously recording gene activity in individual cancer cells. The technology, which can now use diverse types of pathology samples and quickly process large numbers of cells, has enabled the investigators to glean new insights into how cancers evolve toward greater aggressiveness and therapy resistance.
Described in a paper published Oct. 10 in Cell Genomics, the new tool, GoT-Multi, is a next-generation advance ...
Screen time and standardized academic achievement tests in elementary school
2025-10-10
About The Study: In this prospective cohort study of Canadian children recruited from primary care settings, high levels of total screen time and TV and digital media in young children were associated with lower achievement levels in reading and math on standardized tests in elementary school. Early interventions to reduce screen time exposure should be developed and tested to enhance academic achievement in elementary school.

GLP-1RA order fills and out-of-pocket costs by race, ethnicity, and indication
2025-10-10
About The Study: In this cohort study, 40% of orders for glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) were not filled. Non-Hispanic Black patients and Hispanic patients were less likely to fill orders than non-Hispanic white patients, and the non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic patients who filled their orders paid lower out-of-pocket costs. Out-of-pocket differences across groups may stem from differences in insurance coverage, use of different GLP-1RAs, or different cost thresholds for forgoing GLP-1RAs.

Study finds HEPA purifiers alone may not be enough to reduce viral exposure in schools
2025-10-10
In a secondary analysis of a study of 200 classrooms, Mass General Brigham researchers found respiratory viral exposures were still high in those with HEPA purifiers, suggesting additional interventions are needed
School is in session, and viral illness is on the rise. A new study suggests that lowering exposure to respiratory viruses in classrooms isn’t as simple as adding high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) purifiers to the room. In a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial, investigators from Mass General Brigham and their colleagues found that exposure to respiratory viruses in the air were ...
UVA Health developing way to ID people at risk of dangerous lung scarring even before symptoms appear
2025-10-10
UVA Health lung researchers are developing a promising approach to detecting patients at risk of interstitial lung disease (ILD), an increasingly common condition that is a leading reason for lung transplants. The approach could accelerate the development of new and better treatments with more tolerable side effects than existing options.
The UVA scientists have already discovered biological indicators in the blood – “biomarkers” – that can predict the survival chances of patients with ILD. But the researchers, led by John S. Kim, MD, believe these types of biomarkers can be used for far more: The scientists are aiming to determine if biomarkers ...
How can we know when curing cancer causes myocarditis?
2025-10-10
Treatments for cancer are continuously improving, but they can still cause debilitating, even fatal, side effects. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, or ICIs, have revolutionized cancer therapy, yet their use can trigger a rare but deadly side effect that affects the heart: myocarditis. ICI-related myocarditis has a mortality of up to 40%.
The adverse side effects caused by ICIs are immune-related. The immune system becomes hyperactive and attacks tissue that is healthy, not cancerous. In ICI-related myocarditis, ...
Male infertility in Indian men linked to lifestyle choices and hormonal imbalances

An acoustofluidic device for sample preparation and detection of small extracellular vesicles
2025-10-10
Recent research has achieved significant advances in acoustofluidic technologies for efficient isolation and biomarker-specific detection of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs). Nevertheless, rapid and high-sensitivity analysis of low-volume clinical samples remains challenging, often requiring multi-step preprocessing and bulky instrumentation. By integrating sharp-edge microstructures with acoustically induced vortices, we enable size-selective concentration of target-bound complexes for immediate fluorescence readout. "The acoustofluidic chip leverages localized acoustic streaming to spatially separate microbead-sEV conjugates from ...
