Hospitals that serve more Black patients had higher rates of trial of labor after cesarean and VBAC success among low-risk patients, suggesting hospital practices may influence cesarean-related disparities.
A long-term stroke study found that cognition improves most within 6 months, with memory and language recovering better than executive function. Early cognitive impairment was the strongest predictor of outcomes years later.
Blood mtDNA copy number showed a U-shaped association with future type 2 diabetes risk in younger adults, suggesting that both low and high levels may signal higher risk.
A hospital-based screening and treatment program for unhealthy alcohol use was feasible in a diverse safety-net population and was linked to short-term reductions in alcohol risk scores, especially among patients who received follow-up and
Reduced visit time pressure in primary care was linked to slightly more diagnoses, prescriptions, and diagnostic testing, especially for patients with multiple chronic conditions. The study highlights how appointment scheduling can influenc
Telemedicine is no longer an emergency workaround. New policy guidance shows how virtual care can improve access, but only if payment, safety, equity, and prescribing rules evolve carefully.
In a large retrospective glaucoma cohort, delayed follow-up was common yet was not generally associated with visual field worsening, although longer delays appeared more consequential in eyes with worse baseline visual field loss.
This review synthesizes evidence on improving geographic atrophy trial efficiency through innovative run-in phases, single-arm designs, and superior functional biomarkers like microperimetry to reduce required sample sizes.
Severe surgical complications during cesarean delivery were linked to about twice the risk of postpartum readmission within 42 days, especially for wound infection, supporting closer follow-up after complicated births.
Adding the Area Deprivation Index to HbA1c improved prediction of type 2 diabetes within 1 year in youth with prediabetes, highlighting the importance of socioeconomic factors in diabetes risk.
A UK Biobank study found that lifestyle-related pancreatic cancer risks were strongest in younger adults, especially those with high genetic risk, supporting early prevention efforts.
A nurse-led school CPR program in Murcia, Spain, used low-cost manikins to train students and their families, creating a strong home-based multiplier effect and generally adequate basic life support performance.
A Chicago study found that historical redlining and current housing discrimination are both linked to higher firearm homicide rates in Black neighborhoods, highlighting housing justice as a key violence-prevention strategy.
A large Australian longitudinal study found that women with both hot flushes and night sweats had slightly higher odds of retirement, suggesting menopausal symptom burden may influence workforce participation.
In older adults with limited small vessel disease, “dirty-appearing” white matter on MRI was not linked to baseline cognition, cognitive decline, or dementia risk, unlike conventional white matter hyperintensities.
The ELSA-Brasil study found that staging intermediate hyperglycaemia with fasting glucose plus 1-hour glucose better predicted type 2 diabetes than fasting glucose plus HbA1c, and a clinical risk score reduced unnecessary testing.
CALERIE-2 post hoc analysis found that weight regain after caloric restriction can reverse improvements in insulin and IGF-1 signaling, while sustained weight loss preserves metabolic benefits and may lower biological aging markers.
A population-based study of older adults with metastatic NSCLC found that fewer than half received systemic treatment, with only slight improvement over time. Oncology referral and biomarker testing were strongly linked to treatment, while
A large SEER-Medicare study found that fewer than half of older adults with metastatic NSCLC received systemic therapy, with only modest improvement from 2006 to 2021. Specialist referral and biomarker testing were strongly linked to treatm
A national analysis of US office visits found that obesity counseling remains uncommon, with only 40.1% of visits including any counseling and 12.2% including weight, diet, and exercise advice together.
