About The Study: The findings of this cohort study suggest that poverty and social disadvantage, characterized by low educational level and household income among both women and men, were associated with lower fecundability (defined as the per-month probability of conceiving) and increased risks of subfertility (defined as a time to pregnancy or the duration of actively pursuing pregnancy of more than 12 months or use of assisted reproductive technology) but not with miscarriage risk. Further studies are needed to identify the underlying and explanatory mechanisms associated with fertility outcomes and the potential for novel public health strategies for couples desiring pregnancy.

About The Study: The findings of this study highlight the critical role of improving measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccination coverage to prevent large-scale measles outbreaks, particularly in regions with declining immunization rates.

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.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is hosting its 2025 National Conference & Exhibition will take place in Denver for the first time, providing an opportunity for pediatricians and other to learn the latest in medical research and collaborate on how to improve children’s health.

The conference, held from Friday, Sept. 26 through Tuesday, Sept. 30, at the Colorado Convention Center, includes educational sessions, an exhibit hall with hundreds of booths, and motivating plenary sessions. More than 10,000 people have registered to attend, representing 71 nations.

The principle of "food and medicine homology" (FMH), deeply embedded in traditional Chinese medicine, posits that certain natural substances can function as both food and medicine. A recent opinion piece posits that substances with FMH properties, recognized for their nutritional benefits and minimal toxicity, may present innovative opportunities in supplementary cancer treatment and prevention. The authors underscore the solid theoretical underpinnings and international acknowledgement of this approach, emphasizing how cutting-edge technologies can substantiate these age-old practices and facilitate their incorporation into modern, comprehensive cancer management programs.
