About The Study: This cross-sectional study builds on prior evidence by documenting intersectional disparities in food insecurity persistent over 23 years despite multiple intervening policy and macroeconomic changes. As in a prior cross-sectional study, racial disparities were smaller among Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)-participating households than nonparticipating households.

About The Study: In this nationwide cohort study, a postholiday weekday was associated with a significantly elevated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest incidence in South Korea, particularly after consecutive rest days and among vulnerable populations. These findings support enhanced emergency medical services preparedness, targeted public health messaging during holiday periods, and evaluation of preventive interventions for high-risk populations during postholiday transitions. 

State laws that ban insurance prior authorization for buprenorphine—a leading medication for opioid use disorder—may not help more patients stay in treatment for the recommended minimum of 180 days, Weill Cornell Medicine researchers report. Though prescription buprenorphine can be a life-saving treatment that relieves opioid cravings and withdrawal symptoms, adherence to the medication is low.

The paper, “Meaning, Purpose, and Spirituality in the Clinical Practice of Lifestyle Medicine,” emerged from a 2025 national summit convened by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) in collaboration with the Global Positive Health Institute and funded by the Ardmore Institute of Health. The summit brought together nearly 100 experts to translate decades of research into actionable clinical guidance.

Resection of tumors in the caudate lobe (a deep, hard-to-reach part of the liver) is recognized as one of the most technically challenging procedures in hepatic surgery

due to its unique anatomical position and complex vascular relationships.

 

Researchers at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine now show that it is possible to remove the caudate lobe safely using a surgical robot, even in an older patient, and still remove the cancer completely. The clinical case they describe in the journal Annals of Surgical Oncology, combines two “guidance” tools (1) a hanging/traction technique using the Arantius ligament and (2) Indocyanine green (ICG) “negative staining” to clearly mark the caudate lobe boundaries and guide a margin-focused cancer operation in a very difficult area.

New research has been published ahead-of-print by The Journal of Nuclear Medicine (JNM). JNM is published by the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, an international scientific and medical organization dedicated to advancing nuclear medicine, molecular imaging, and theranostics—precision medicine that allows diagnosis and treatment to be tailored to individual patients in order to achieve the best possible outcomes.
