New research led by American Cancer Society (ACS) researchers estimates more than 3.8 million lung cancer deaths were averted and a little over 76 million years of life gained in the United States during 1970-2022 due to substantial reductions in smoking prevalence driven by tobacco control. The study is published today in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians.
A one of its kind study has uncovered the significant role that environmental pollution and healthcare disparities play in the prevalence of congenital heart defects in Mexico.
The American College of Gastroenterology has published its first clinical guideline on the diagnosis and management of gastric premalignant conditions (GPMC), including endoscopic surveillance, risk stratification, resection, the role of H. pylori infection, risk reduction, and management of autoimmune gastritis and gastric epithelial polyps.
Socioeconomically disadvantaged groups may still be underusing emergency departments for potentially serious illnesses in the wake of the COVID pandemic, despite an overall rebound in emergency department use by 2022.
The Endometriosis CARE Act, which was introduced in 2022, seeks to deliver $50 million annually to advance research and expand access to treatment for this condition in which tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, often causing pain, heavy periods and potential fertility issues.
The prevalence of chronic conditions has risen to unprecedented levels over the past twenty years, with nearly 1-in-3, or about 25 million, young people ages 5 to 25 estimated to now be living with pediatric onset conditions that significantly affect their lives.
The Camden Study, a pregnancy cohort of 4,765 women recruited between 1985 and 2006 from one of America's poorest cities, has found new life at Rutgers University 鈥� where it promises to unlock critical insights into maternal and child health for researchers worldwide.
Contextual social determinants of health (SDoH) 鈥� for example, rural residence and neighborhood economic factors 鈥� may affect access to community-based rehabilitation services for older adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI), suggests a study in the March/April issue of Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation (JHTR).
