(Press-News.org) Hebrew Rehabilitation Center’s skilled nursing units have been rated as high-performing and recognized among the Best Nursing Homes of 2026 by U.S. News & World Report.
This year, the Rehabilitative Services Units at Hebrew Rehabilitation Center in Boston and the Hebrew Rehabilitation Center at NewBridge on the Charles in Dedham, MA, were each rated as high-performing, the highest designation available.
“We are pleased to receive this recognition from U.S. News & World Report for the quality efforts of the multidisciplinary teams serving our Rehabilitative Services Units. It showcases the work that we perform daily to provide the best support possible for those in our care,” said Ernest I. Mandel, MD, SM, executive vice president of health care, chief medical officer, and chief quality officer at Hebrew SeniorLife.
The U.S. News Best Nursing Homes ratings are based on the most detailed analysis of the country’s skilled nursing facilities. The ratings are based on a range of quality measures, using data from the federal government’s Care Compare program. Those measures include staffing levels, medical outcomes and resident complaints.
A facility may receive a rating of high-performing, average, or below-average.

Optica and DPG name Antoine Browaeys 2026 Herbert Walther Award recipient
2025-12-05
WASHINGTON — A pioneer in the field of quantum, Antoine Browaeys, Institut d'Optique, CNRS, France, has been recognized by Optica, Advancing Optics and Photonics Worldwide, and the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft (DPG) with the 2026 Herbert Walther Award. He is honored for the realization of arrays of single neutral atoms held in optical tweezers as a platform for exquisitely controlled quantum simulation of many-body physics, and their development as a candidate platform for scalable quantum computation.
“Congratulations to Antoine Browaeys on this well-deserved recognition,” said Jim Kafka, Optica 2025 President. “He is a world-leader ...
The presence of a gun in the home increases the risk of suicide by three to five times
2025-12-05
In addition to posing physical and life risks, access to firearms has an impact on mental health. It increases suicides, intensifies psychological fragility, and amplifies violence. This is the conclusion of a study published in the September issue of the scientific journal Harvard Review of Psychiatry.
The study was led by researchers from the Institute of Psychiatry at the University of São Paulo’s Medical School (FM-USP) in Brazil. The researchers conducted a systematic review of 467 studies from various ...
PFAS exposure and endocrine disruption among women
2025-12-05
About The Study: Data from this cross-sectional study show that exposure to single and mixtures of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) was associated with higher odds of endocrine disruption (ED) among women. The findings demonstrated that certain PFAS compounds, particularly n-PFOS, were associated with ED. PFAS are widely used in industry, and increasing evidence suggests that even low-level, chronic exposure may disrupt endocrine function and harm health. Exposure to mixtures of PFAS remained positively associated with developing ED.

Vaccines and the 2024 US presidential election
2025-12-05
About The Study: In this survey study, very few U.S. voters considered vaccines an important issue in the 2024 presidential election, but voters generally supported the government’s role in ensuring safe and effective vaccines and requiring children to be vaccinated for school. The partisan divide on vaccines reflects solid support among Trump voters compared to high support among Harris voters. A March 2025 poll showed that 68% of Republicans and 90% of Democrats support school vaccination requirements—similar to the present results.

New approach narrows uncertainty in future warming and remaining carbon budget for 2 °C
2025-12-05
How much the planet warms with each ton of carbon dioxide remains one of the most important questions in climate science, but there is uncertainty in predicting it. This uncertainty hinders governments, businesses and communities from setting clear emission-reduction targets and preparing for the impacts of climate change. The changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and surface temperatures are shaped by complex feedback between land, ocean, atmosphere and ecosystems, and this feedback can either amplify or mitigate warming. Reducing this uncertainty ...
When pregnancy emergencies collide with state abortion bans
2025-12-05
Although the United States does not guarantee health care as a right, federal law mandates that hospitals cannot deny anyone lifesaving emergency care. However, a new study finds that restrictive state abortion laws may affect frontline emergency care despite federal protections—possibly hindering access to timely screening and treatment in pregnancy-related emergencies.
The 1986 U.S. Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) requires all Medicare-participating hospitals to screen every emergency ...
American College of Cardiology supports front of package nutrition labeling
2025-12-05
Simplifying nutrition information can empower consumers to make healthier, more informed dietary choices and reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), according to guidance issued by the American College of Cardiology and published in JACC, its flagship journal. The new guidance supports a standardized front-of-packaging food labeling system that highlights key nutrients to limit or encourage.
Diet-related chronic diseases are the leading causes of death and disability in the United States, disproportionately affecting individuals from certain racial and ethnic groups and those of lower socioeconomic status. Following healthy dietary patterns, including ...
This fossil bird choked to death on rocks, and no one knows why
2025-12-05
A fossil only tells part of the story. When an animal’s body is preserved as a fossil, there are often pieces missing, and even a perfectly-preserved body doesn’t tell the whole story of how that animal behaved, how it lived, and how it ultimately died. But the cause of death for one unlucky bird that lived about 120 million years ago is clearer: the cluster of rocks in its throat tells scientists that it probably choked to death. The reason why this bird was swallowing rocks in the first place is more of a mystery, and one that gets into the bigger picture of dinosaur ...
An iron-on electronic circuit to create wearable tech
2025-12-05
Iron-on patches can repair clothing or add personal flair to backpacks and hats. And now they could power wearable tech, too. Researchers reporting in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces have combined liquid metal and a heat-activated adhesive to create an electrically conductive patch that bonds to fabric when heated with a hot iron. In demonstrations, circuits ironed onto a square of fabric lit up LEDs and attached an iron-on microphone to a button-up shirt.
“E-textiles and wearable electronics can enable ...
When you’re happy, your dog might look sad
2025-12-05
When people are feeling happy, they’re more likely to see other people as happy. If they’re feeling down, they tend to view other people as sad. But when dealing with dogs, this well-established psychological effect ceases to work as expected.
That’s according to a new study by behavioral scientists at Arizona State University. In one experiment, nudging people into positive emotional states by showing them pictures that usually cheer people up did not significantly impact how they perceived dog emotions. In a modified experiment, the effect actually worked in reverse: people prompted to feel upbeat tended to rate dogs as being sadder. Those nudged into a negative ...
