A national cohort study from England and Wales found two-thirds of infants born <32 weeks’ gestation had ≥1 hospital admission before age 2, with lower gestational age and neonatal morbidities (BPD, severe NEC, brain injury) substantiall
This review synthesizes data on mifepristone availability at community pharmacies in BC, highlighting geographic coverage, dispensing gaps, and disparities influencing timely access to medication abortion.
A large Ontario cohort study links early-life exposure to the Great Chinese Famine with higher adult risks of type 2 diabetes and hypertension among Chinese immigrants, while cardiovascular hospitalization was not increased; methodological
This clinical trial evaluated monthly grocery vouchers for improving diabetes control in food-insecure patients, finding increased self-reported fruit and vegetable intake but no significant HbA1c improvement.
This review synthesizes global evidence, including meta-analyses, showing that school feeding programs modestly improve math achievement, enrollment, and growth metrics in socioeconomically disadvantaged children, with limited effects on re
A phase 2a human challenge trial found a nucleoside‑modified mRNA influenza vaccine provided complete protection against symptomatic and febrile A/H1N1 infection versus unvaccinated controls and reduced viral load versus control and QIV, wi
A randomized trial of 20,330 girls 12–16 years shows one dose of bivalent or nonavalent HPV vaccine prevents persistent HPV16/18 infection as effectively as two doses over 5 years, with high effectiveness and no safety signals.
A Swedish cohort study of 10,222 men linked adolescent blood pressure to coronary atherosclerosis by CCTA ~40 years later; higher systolic BP in adolescence, even in the ‘elevated’ range, was associated with greater odds of severe (>50%)
A multicentre phase 1 trial in healthy US adults found nOPV1 and nOPV3 were well tolerated and induced robust homotypic neutralising antibody responses with shedding profiles similar to Sabin monovalent OPV, supporting progression to phase
A 13-year national cohort shows that combined healthy lifestyles and favourable social determinants substantially increase years lived independently; men gain more from behavioural change while women gain more from improved social condition
A life cycle assessment found SAVR produces roughly double the carbon footprint of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), with postoperative ICU and ward care as the main drivers. Results highlight opportunities to decarbonize cardi
A life cycle assessment found SAVR emits ~620–750 kg CO2e per case—roughly double OR- or cath-lab TAVR (~280–360 kg CO2e). ICU length of stay and postoperative care were the dominant contributors, highlighting targets for low-carbon periope
In a phase 2a human challenge, high‑dose daily mosnodenvir substantially reduced DENV‑3 RNA burden versus placebo without serious adverse events, but treatment‑associated NS4B viral mutations emerged, highlighting efficacy and resistance co
Multi-objective optimization in the EPIC cohort shows that modest gains in adherence to the EAT‑Lancet diet, increased plant species richness, and substitution of ultra‑processed foods with minimally processed foods can raise nutrient adequ
A nationally representative 2022 study found hearing loss in 54.6% of Hispanic US adults 65+; only 8.3% of those with hearing loss reported using hearing aids, underscoring major access gaps.
New animal research links oral microplastic exposure to dramatic increases in arterial plaque—especially in males—by injuring endothelial cells and provoking inflammation and oxidative stress.
A Medicare cohort study mapped incident epilepsy among older adults across the contiguous US and linked high-incidence areas to social and environmental determinants—most strongly insufficient sleep and lack of household vehicle access—sugg
A JAMA serial cross‑sectional analysis finds US outpatient inhaler dispensing (2014–2024) produced ~24.9 million metric tons CO2e, mostly from metered‑dose inhalers; policy and clinical shifts to dry‑powder/soft‑mist devices and low‑GWP pro
A 7‑year follow-up of 2,153 women in the ABC‑DO cohort shows poor breast cancer survival in much of sub‑Saharan Africa, with 5‑year crude survival 40% and marked between-country and racial disparities; reaching WHO stage downstaging targets
Population-based Dutch data show that AYA survivors of most solid malignancies achieve five-year conditional relative survival >95% by four years post-diagnosis, supporting reconsideration of blanket 10‑year disclosure periods in Right t
