Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation reduces hospital admissions by a third and heart attack risk by more than a quarter, as well as remaining beneficial in the long term, a new Cochrane review finds.

New research being presented at the Annual Meeting of The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Milan, Italy (Sept 28 – Oct 2), suggests that higher levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) are associated with a substantially lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D), particularly among younger adults.

Johns Hopkins Medicine investigators who have led an international research program called Zero TB in Kids are now using the program’s infrastructure and their community ties to bring basic necessities to families who lost everything in the massive flash flood that occurred in Nepal and Tibet on Aug. 26. Through a relief fundraiser, they are asking for donations that will help provide medical supplies, blankets, tents, warm clothes, food and heaters to children and families whose homes, schools and communities were washed away. This support will also extend to long-term recovery efforts, including screening and treatment for infectious diseases, educational support for children, and other aid for families in need.
