Risk of cardiorespiratory events following RSV–related hospitalization

JAMA Network Open

2026-02-03

(Press-News.org) About The Study: This study demonstrated that respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), similar to influenza and SARSCoV-2, was associated with an increased risk of cardiorespiratory events 2 weeks following RSV-related hospitalization, and some conditions had significant risk elevations up to 180 days after admission. The findings reinforce the need to increase RSV immunization in adults.

Socioeconomic status and postpartum depression risk by state trigger laws after dobbs

2026-02-03

About The Study: In this cohort study, state-level abortion bans following Dobbs were associated with a disproportionate increase in the risk of postpartum depression among women and adolescents in low- socioeconomic status communities. These findings underscore the need for targeted mental health support and policy interventions to mitigate the unequal burden of such legislation on vulnerable populations.

Shared purpose outperforms specialization, new study shows

2026-02-03

A new study published in the Strategic Management Journal challenges long-standing assumptions about managerial specialization by examining when organizations perform better by having leaders collectively pursue multiple objectives rather than dividing responsibilities among them. Addressing the growing complexity of modern organizations—where financial, social, environmental, and technological goals increasingly coexist—the research introduces what the authors call the “common purpose advantage.” Drawing on a computational model of multi-manager firms, the study compares performance under two approaches: “objective ...

Risk for Lyme disease in Ohio is equal to Connecticut, study shows

2026-02-03

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The risk for being bitten by a tick infected with bacteria that cause Lyme disease is as high in Ohio as it is for those living in Northeast states that have dealt with Lyme disease for over 50 years, according to a new study. Researchers followed up on a 2014 study finding that Ohio’s first established population of blacklegged ticks, carriers of the bacteria that cause Lyme disease, had been detected in 2010 in Coshocton County. At that time, the infectious bacteria were detected in 2.4% of collected blacklegged ticks and antibodies indicating prior exposure to the pathogen were detected in 20% of white-footed mice, ...

New therapy could make life better for kidney transplant patients

2026-02-03

A new study offers hope that kidney transplant patients could one day have a monthly treatment instead of multiple pills every day. The new treatment also may reduce side effects and increase the lifespan of the donor organ. Currently, patients who have had a kidney transplant must take a cocktail of pills every day for the rest of their lives. These standard immunosuppressants prevent the immune system from attacking the new organ, but over time may damage kidney function and become less effective. Standard immunosuppressants also are associated with diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and cause side effects that lead most transplant ...

Shrinking shellfish? FAU study uncovers acidic water risks in Indian River lagoon

2026-02-03

Florida’s Indian River Lagoon (IRL), one of the state’s most ecologically productive estuaries, is facing a growing but invisible threat that could reshape its marine ecosystems. Over the past decade, the lagoon has suffered severe degradation caused by nutrient pollution, excessive freshwater runoff, harmful algal blooms (HABs), and declining water quality. These changes have led to the loss of tens of thousands of acres of seagrass and have negatively impacted shellfish, fish, dolphins, manatees and other key species. A new study from Florida Atlantic University’s ...

CT scans unwrap secrets of ancient Egyptian life

2026-02-03

Photos and b-roll package available for download here. LOS ANGELES — Keck Medicine of USC radiologists use computed tomography (CT) scanners to diagnose and treat patients’ diseases and injuries. Recently, however, this advanced technology was put to a far more novel use: examining the bodies of two ancient Egyptian mummies. Radiologists conducted full-body CT scans of two Egyptian priests, Nes-Min, circa 330 BCE, and Nes-Hor, circa 190 BCE, whose bodies had been preserved for more than 2,200 years. The ...

Clinical data gaps keeping life-saving antibiotics from children

2026-02-03

Life-saving antibiotics that could treat severe infections in babies and children aren’t accessible due to a lack of data around safety and dosage, new research shows. Two wide sweeping reviews, led by Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI) and the Australasian KIDS DOSE consortium, have discovered the barriers children are experiencing in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands when accessing treatment for the antimicrobial resistant (AMR) infections deemed the highest priority by the World Health Organization. The ...
