About The Study: In this longitudinal cohort study of economically and racially diverse U.S. youth, there was evidence of differential susceptibility and resilience for mental health problems during the pandemic that was associated with prepandemic mental health and sociodemographic characteristics.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Who hasn’t sat in a medical office, listening to computer keys clacking while their provider rapidly types up notes, wondering what they are spending so much time writing about?

A new study out today by University of Maryland’s School of Public Health illuminates a solution that can meaningfully reduce the amount of time doctors spend writing notes, without losing vital information.

Review of: Risk of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy in patients prescribed semaglutide. Hathaway J, Sha M, Hathaway D, et al. JAMA Ophthalmology, in press 2024. Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) prescribed to assist with weight management in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) or those who are overweight/obese, and there have been anecdotal reports of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) in patients taking this medication. This single-center, observational study compared patients prescribed semaglutide to matched patients prescribed other medications for diabetes and found a greater risk of NAION in the semaglutide cohort, though additional studies are needed to verify this relationship and causality cannot be inferred.

Semaglutide May Be Associated With an Increased Risk of Developing NAION

Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), otherwise known as silent reflux, is a form of acid reflux. The esophagus (food tube) has special rings of muscle (sphincters) at the top and the bottom. If the esophageal sphincters don't close properly, acid can flow up the esophagus and into the throat and voice box.

Hearing that your heart is enlarged can be terrifying…but it doesn’t have to be.

In the United States, approximately 47% of adults have hypertension, a condition characterized by consistently elevated blood pressure. This statistic is concerning as high blood pressure is a significant risk factor for serious health issues, including heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease. Elevated blood pressure often goes unnoticed due to its asymptomatic nature, earning it the nickname “the silent killer.” Health practitioners must prioritize blood pressure monitoring and management, as early detection and treatment can prevent complications and improve overall health outcomes. By addressing hypertension, practitioners can significantly reduce the burden of cardiovascular diseases and enhance the quality of life for their patients.

The drop improves vision by breaking up degraded protein complexes that cause lens clouding. Randall Olson, MD, corresponding author of the study, Moran Eye Center CEO and Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City, and colleagues reported that a novel eye drop (C-KAD, Livionex Inc.) has been formulated to treat early to moderate age-related cataracts. The drop improves vision by breaking up degraded protein complexes that cause lens clouding, which leads to cataracts and vision loss, when instilled in the eye.
