About The Study: In this cohort study of adults in the Framingham Heart Study Offspring cohort, higher levels of midlife and late-life physical activity were associated with similar reductions in risk of all-cause and Alzheimer disease dementia. These findings may inform future efforts to delay or prevent dementia through timing interventions during the most relevant stages of the adult life course. 

About The Study: This cross-sectional study reveals an encouraging positive shift in the prevalence of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) among U.S. children during the study period of 2016 to 2023. The upward trends in the proportion of individuals reporting 0 ACEs suggest a growing societal recognition of the importance of healthy and nurturing environments for children. Conversely, the decrease in the prevalence of 4 or more ACEs highlights a reduction in severe ACEs, particularly among other racial and ethnic groups and those from low-income families. 

UChicago experts contributed to two new studies which found that ambient clinical documentation tools can cut down on administrative time and help physicians be more mentally healthy and present with patients.

As the threat of antibiotic resistance grows, a Swansea University academic has led the development of a novel technology capable of killing some of the most dangerous bacteria known to medicine—with over 99.9% effectiveness against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa).

A new survey by Morning Consult and the nonprofit Physicians Committee finds that 65% of adults support establishing a special program that would allow migrant farmworkers to remain in the U.S. to help with food production. This is especially relevant at this time of harvest and feasting, since many foods commonly served during the holidays, such as sweet potatoes, pecans, pumpkins, and cranberries, require many workers, as well as machinery, to grow and harvest. About half of farmers say they don’t have the labor they need, according to the Kansas Reflector.
