About The Study: In this randomized clinical trial that compared a brief outpatient rehabilitation program with a cognitive and behavioral approach with usual care in 314 patients with post–COVID-19 condition, self-reported physical function improved statistically and clinically significantly in the intervention group after 2 to 8 outpatient encounters. The effect was sustained over time and adverse effects were negligible. This trial adds to the evidence supporting such interventions in routine clinical care. Future research should investigate which elements of this approach are the most effective and identify subgroups for which the current treatment is most relevant.

About The Study: In this cohort study, there were no differences in mortality rates between Black and white newborns, but Black newborns had higher rates of necrotizing enterocolitis and late-onset sepsis. Continued quality improvement and addressing social determinants of health are critical for promoting health equity in hospital outcomes and beyond.

About The Study: In this prospective cohort study, moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) during pregnancy was associated with a lower risk of preterm birth among women with gestational diabetes. Concentrated physical activity was associated with similar benefits in reducing preterm birth risk as regular physical activity. These findings provide key evidence for the health benefits of MVPA during pregnancy and lay the foundation for establishing physical activity guidelines for pregnant women with gestational diabetes.

Today, the Biden-Harris Administration awarded the Enrico Fermi Presidential Award to Héctor D. Abruña, Paul Alivisatos, and John H. Nuckolls for their exemplary contributions to advance efforts to tackle some of the world’s greatest challenges, including improving health outcomes, clean energy, and national security.

Findings of a new study into severe allergic reactions offer a sobering warning to people allergic to tree nuts and, more broadly, could lead to quicker diagnoses in emergency care for people with all anaphylactic allergies.

A new study uncovers how the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped emergency care for acute coronary syndrome, with a sharp decline in hospital visits nationwide. Analyzing over 61,000 cases, the research reveals that older adults, particularly women, were disproportionately affected, avoiding critical care during periods of high virus transmission. These findings shine a light on the unseen toll of public health crises, underscoring the urgent need to build trust and ensure access to life-saving care for vulnerable populations in future emergencies.
