Mayo Clinic researchers have developed and evaluated MedEduChat, an electronic health record (EHR) that works with a large language model to provide accurate, patient-specific prostate cancer education.  

The American Heart Association, devoted to a world of healthier lives for all, issued the following statement in response to today’s release of the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

A groundbreaking international intervention co- led by the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing’s Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research (CHOPR) and the KU Leuven Institute of Healthcare Policy in Belgium shows that redesigning hospital work environments with the Magnet Model® measurably improves nurse and physician wellbeing and strengthens patient safety.

The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, released Jan. 7, score well for their streamlined approach, for limiting “bad” fat, for emphasizing fruits and vegetables, and for limiting alcohol, but need serious improvement in other areas, says the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.

A multiyear community asthma program on the Navajo Nation increased asthma-related care and awareness among families, even as the COVID-19 pandemic dramatically disrupted health care and school systems. The findings come from a new study led by researchers at National Jewish Health and collaborators at the University of Arizona and several partner institutions, in close partnership with Navajo Nation leaders, schools and health systems.

A class of ultrasmall fluorescent core-shell silica nanoparticles developed at Cornell is showing an unexpected ability to rally the immune system against melanoma and dramatically improve the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy, according to a new study led by Weill Cornell Medicine and Cornell Engineering researchers.

A study of 1,227 U.S. adults ages 65 to 79 found that insufficient dietary lycopene intake was associated with a significantly higher risk of severe periodontitis, with risk patterns differing by race and sex. Researchers reported that older adults with sufficient lycopene intake had about one-third the odds of severe periodontitis compared with those with insufficient intake. Severe disease was more common among men and non-Hispanic Black adults. The study suggests dietary lycopene may be a modifiable factor in preventing severe gum disease in older adults and recommends race- and sex-specific prevention strategies.

Bonn, 7 January – The human brain must be able to link memory content to the circumstances in which it occurs. Researchers in Bonn have now discovered how the human brain uses two different groups of neurons to store content and context separately. These nerve cell groups work together in a coordinated manner to form memories, rather than mixing signals in the activity of individual cells. The study results have now been published in the renowned journal Nature.
