A new study led by a Boston University School of Public Health researcher examined the perceptions, beliefs, and attitudes that influenced college students’ with a diagnosis of psychosis to seek help for their mental health and found that while a majority of these students believed they needed mental health treatment, 60 percent of students did not meet current recommended guidelines for combined antipsychotic medication and therapy. Published in the journal Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology, the study found that nearly 8 in 10 surveyed college students with psychosis reported needing mental health support. While 8 in 10 students did seek therapy or counseling within the past 12 months, only 4 in 10 students reported taking antipsychotic medication. 

New research led by the University of Plymouth (UK) brought together and evaluated more than 5,000 beach litter surveys to reveal the dominant items of marine litter across all seven continents, nine ocean systems, 13 regional seas and 112 nations, a combined area representing 86% of the global population. 

The International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) proudly celebrates a major milestone for its global Capture the Fracture® (CTF) programme: the 1,310 Fracture Liaison Services (FLS) within the CTF network now collectively identify more than one million patients every year. Following a fragility fracture, the risk of subsequent fractures approximately doubles, with the likelihood of another fracture highest within the first one to two years after the initial event. Coordinated post-fracture care services such as Fracture Liaison Services and orthogeriatric services play a critical role in improving patient outcomes and reducing the risk of future fractures. These services help ensure that patients who experience an osteoporosis-related fracture are not simply discharged without follow-up, but instead receive timely osteoporosis assessment, appropriate treatment, and ongoing care to help prevent additional fractures. In the past five years, Capture the Fracture® has expanded three-fold and is recognized as the leading global initiative supporting the implementation of coordinated, multidisciplinary models of care for secondary fracture prevention.

Michele Carbone, M.D., Ph.D., to be honored at the 2026 NFCR Global Summit and Award Ceremonies for Cancer Research & Entrepreneurship in Washington, D.C., for his landmark discovery that mesothelioma is driven by inherited gene–environment interactions — a finding that transformed how the disease is understood, diagnosed, treated and prevented worldwide, and drove historic public policy changes that have saved lives across generations.
