(Press-News.org) CLEVELAND, Ohio – Three pediatric faculty members and leaders from University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children’s (UH Rainbow) have been elected to membership in the American Pediatric Society (APS), one of the nation’s most distinguished academic pediatric organizations.
The newly elected APS members include:
Michael S. Dell, MD, Vice Chair for Education, UH Rainbow, Professor of Pediatrics, Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) School of Medicine, and Morris S. Dixon, Jr., MD Chair in Global Child Health, UH Rainbow
Ross E. Myers, MD, Director of the Pediatric Residency Program, UH Rainbow and UH Cleveland Medical Center, Professor of Pediatrics, CWRU School of Medicine
Samudragupta Bora, PhD, Founding Director, UH Health Services Research Center, and Associate Professor of Pediatrics, CWRU School of Medicine
These distinguished caregivers are among 92 individuals elected to APS membership for the Class of 2026 and will be formally recognized at the APS Howland Gala during the Pediatric Academic Societies 2026 Meeting in Boston next spring.
Founded in 1888, APS is North America’s first academic pediatric organization. Its members are nationally and internationally recognized leaders in child health who advance academic pediatrics through education, research, leadership development, and innovative approaches to improving child and adolescent health. New members are nominated by current APS members in recognition of their exceptional contributions as clinicians, educators, scholars, researchers, and policymakers.
“The American Pediatric Society is a prestigious academic institution that has helped advance the quality of health care for children for more than a century,” said Marlene R. Miller, MD, MSc, Pediatrician-in-Chief, University Hospitals; Professor of Pediatrics, CWRU School of Medicine; and Marsha L. Antonucci Distinguished Chair of Pediatrics, UH Rainbow. “I am proud to congratulate Michael Dell, Ross Myers, and Samudragupta Bora on this well-deserved honor and their extraordinary impact on pediatric medicine and research.”

Experiments advance potential of protein that makes hydrogen sulfide as a therapeutic target for Alzheimer’s disease
2025-12-30
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say results of a new National Institutes of Health-funded study are advancing efforts to exploit a new target for Alzheimer’s disease: a protein that manufactures an important gas in the brain.
Experiments conducted in genetically engineered mice reinforce that the protein, Cystathionine γ-lyase, or CSE — ordinarily known for producing hydrogen sulfide gas responsible for the foul smell of rotten eggs — is critical for memory formation, says Bindu Paul, M.S., Ph.D., associate professor of pharmacology, ...
Examining private equity’s role in fertility care
2025-12-30
The rise of private equity firms investing in health care facilities across the United States has been exploding in the last decade.
Because of that rapid growth, researchers have been digging into what this could mean for health care and patients in the long term.
In recent years, private equity firms have become more active in the fertility space, where many patients seek care for reproductive issues and pursue in vitro fertilization, or IVF, which costs thousands of dollars, and usually isn’t covered by insurance.

Estimating unemployment rates with social media data
2025-12-30
Social media posts about unemployment can predict official jobless claims up to two weeks before government data is released, according to a study. Unemployment can be tough, and people often post about it online. Sam Fraiberger and colleagues developed an artificial intelligence model that identifies unemployment disclosures on social media. Data from 31.5 million Twitter users posting between 2020 and 2022 was used to train a transformer-based classifier called JoblessBERT to detect unemployment-related posts, even those that featured slang or misspellings, ...
Climate policies can backfire by eroding “green” values, study finds
2025-12-30
A popular vision of life after climate action looks like vegetarians riding bikes, city centers without cars, and people foregoing air travel. But a paper published in Nature Sustainability finds that climate policies targeting lifestyle changes (say, urban car bans) actually may weaken people’s green values, thereby undermining support for other needed environmental policies.
“Policies don’t just spur a target behavior. We find that they can change people’s underlying values: leading to unintended negative effects, but also possibly cultivating green values,” says SFI Complexity Postdoctoral ...
