About The Study: In this cross-sectional study of cannabis use in veterans ages 65 to 84, use was common, and more than one-third who used in the past 30 days had any cannabis use disorder. The prevalence of past 30-day cannabis use was close to tobacco use prevalence, and risk factors for cannabis use were similar to those observed in other populations. Frequent and inhaled cannabis use was associated with higher odds of any cannabis use disorder. Routine health screening for cannabis use in Veterans Health Administration clinical settings is necessary to identify older adults with cannabis use.

About The Study: In this cross-sectional study examining clinical notes of more than 18,000 patients admitted for labor and birth, there were notable disparities in how stigmatizing and positive language was documented across racial and ethnic groups. This underscores the necessity for improving documentation and communication practices to reduce the use of stigmatizing language.

The findings support the hypothesis that structural and social determinants of health should be the primary factors to consider for eliminating health disparities.

About The Study: This cross-sectional study of U.S. medical student matriculants found a decrease in the number of matriculants who were first-generation. These students were at significant risk of attrition from medical school, particularly when considering the intersectionality with low-income and underrepresented in medicine identities. These results suggest a need to recruit and retain these students, so that the physician workforce better reflects the backgrounds and experiences of the communities served.

About The Study: Vaccine effectiveness (VE) for the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) protein subunit vaccine in this case-control study was similar to the VE in clinical trials. The VE for immunocompromised patients was mildly (overall) to moderately (for stem cell transplant recipients) diminished. Risk of immune thrombocytopenic purpura after vaccination was not elevated, but the risk of Guilain-Barré syndrome was statistically significantly elevated in patients who received the RSVPreF vaccine but not in those who received RSVPreF+AS01 vaccine, although the risk was small. These observations should inform clinicians’ choices and patient instructions.

About The Study: In this cohort study, depression among veterans was associated with an increased hazard of incident heart failure after controlling for demographic and cardiovascular risk factors. Higher incident heart failure rates in patients with depression remained consistent in an otherwise low-risk cohort.

About The Study: In this cross-sectional study, a patient-centered measure of adverse experiences in vulvovaginal care was developed. Participants reported common past experiences with gaslighting (a patient’s concerns are dismissed without proper evaluation) and substantial distress; they frequently considered ceasing care. There is an urgent need for education supporting a biopsychosocial, trauma-informed approach to vulvovaginal pain and continued development of validated instruments to quantify patient experiences.

About The Study: In this cohort study of 12,480 mother-offspring pairs, researchers found that pre-pregnancy obesity, gestational diabetes, and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, alone or in various combinations, were prospectively associated with higher offspring blood pressure at an early age and with an increased rate of blood pressure change from age 2 to 18 years, with the most profound associations with diastolic blood pressure among female offspring and with systolic blood pressure among Black offspring. These findings suggest that protecting pregnant individuals from cardiometabolic risk factors may promote healthier blood pressure in the next generation.

About The Study: The findings of this study suggest that older vehicles and those with fewer driver assistance technologies are associated with increased risk of driver death in fatal crashes; thus, teens should drive the safest vehicles available, not older family cars. The findings underscore the urgent need to ensure teens drive safer vehicles to protect their lives.

About The Study: In this cohort study of sexual and gender minority (SGM) young adults assigned male at birth, exposure to sexual orientation and gender identity change efforts (SOGICE) was associated with adverse cardiovascular health indicators, including elevated diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure, increased systemic inflammation, and higher odds of self-reported hypertension or high blood pressure. These findings underscore the need for public health and policy interventions to enforce and strengthen bans on SOGICE practices. Recognizing the cardiovascular health consequences of SOGICE contributes to addressing SGM health disparities and emphasizes the importance of affirmative care approaches that prioritize the well-being of SGM individuals.

About The Study: In this study using data from retrospectively reported pregnancies from 3 longitudinal cohorts, all sexual minority groups had increased abortion use compared with completely heterosexual participants, and abortion use was heterogeneous; given the higher use of abortion among sexual minority populations, they are more likely to be disproportionately impacted by the narrowing of abortion access in the U.S. after the Supreme Court Dobbs decision. Future research is needed to understand the pathways that contribute to the unique abortion care needs of sexual minority individuals, in order to provide adequate support for abortion seekers.

About The Study: In this cross-sectional study, tax policy was associated with increased state-level cancer screening rates, as well as decreased cancer mortality rates, which mostly benefited white populations, suggesting that state-level policies may contribute to bridging ongoing cancer care gaps.

About The Study: The findings of this study suggest a narrowing of racial and ethnic disparities in receipt of ERBB2 (formerly HER2 or HER2/neu)-targeted therapies over time among older Medicare beneficiaries with ERBB2-positive breast cancer. Future research is needed to understand the practices that contributed to the narrowing of racial and ethnic disparities and to develop implementation strategies to effectively improve the quality and equity of breast cancer care.

About The Study: In this cross-sectional study, commercial nontobacco nicotine use in U.S. 10th and 12th graders shifted from 2023 to 2024, marked by a doubling in nicotine pouch past-30-day use, an increase in pouch plus e-cigarette dual use, and a decrease in exclusive e-cigarette use. Prioritizing surveillance, regulation, and prevention addressing pediatric nicotine pouch use warrants consideration.

About The Study: Pre-pregnancy overweight or obesity, smoking during pregnancy, and formula-feeding in the first 6 months of life were each associated with adverse cardiovascular health trajectories early in life in this cohort study. Future work should examine whether interventions that address these factors would be effective in optimizing cardiovascular health in children.

About The Study: In this preterm cohort study, maternal hypertensive disorders of pregnancy were independently associated with adverse cognitive and language development, with accentuated associations observed in preeclampsia-exposed preterm infants, emphasizing the clinical importance of recognizing hypertensive disorders of pregnancy as a risk, enabling targeted risk management strategies for closer monitoring and aggressive early intervention in affected populations.

About The Study: In this cohort study of individuals with regular menstrual cycles, influenza vaccine given alone or in combination with a COVID-19 vaccine was associated with a small but temporary change in menstrual cycle length. These findings may help clinicians confirm the utility of vaccination for patients with concerns about menstrual adverse effects of vaccination.

About The Study: Cohort-specific patterns across states reveal wide disparities in mortality. Some states have experienced little or no improvements in life expectancy from the 1900 to 2000 birth cohorts. Understanding how mortality patterns vary by birth cohort within each state can inform decision-making around resource allocation and public health interventions.
