How mothers supporting mothers can help fill the health care worker shortage gap and other barriers to care
For generations, women have relied on informal networks of friends, family and neighbors to navigate the complexities of birth and motherhood. Today, research is finally catching up to what generations of women have known: Peer support can be a lifeline.

Research in the International Journal of Data Mining and Bioinformatics discusses a new approach to demand forecasting for the pharmaceutical retail sector based on an artificial intelligence model. The findings hold promise for improving accuracy in one of the industry's most persistent logistical challenges: managing sales that swing sharply during promotional periods. The new system works better than traditional models by distinguishing between routine demand and the short-term surges driven by marketing campaigns.

In a recent landmark study, scientists have unveiled how HIV-1 penetrates the cell's nuclear barrier—a discovery that could reshape antiviral strategies. The research, led by Professor Peijun Zhang, eBIC director at Diamond, used cutting-edge cryo-electron microscopy to capture HIV-1 viral cores in the process of nuclear import—an elusive but critical step in the virus's life cycle.

1.524. Study challenges prejudice: Heredity only explains part of mental illness

It is a common belief that mental illness runs in families. While it is true that heredity plays a role, in reality, the vast majority of cases—such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, and borderline personality disorder—occur in people without any known hereditary predisposition.

Cannabis use disorder (CUD) is associated with increased risk of benign salivary gland tumors, according to a research letter published online July 17 in JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery.

1.529. Rural hospital closures led to higher prices at nearby hospitals

Rural hospital closures directly impact the health of rural Americans by reducing access to care. New research from the University of Minnesota School of Public Health sheds light on another consequence of these closures: rising prices at "surviving" rural hospitals. This first-of-its-kind analysis shows that when a rural hospital closes, it eliminates a low-price, potentially more affordable hospital from the region. Moreover, commercial prices at nearby hospitals increased by 3.6% in the years following a closure.

In a 2022 survey of 3,000 U.S. adults, more than one-third of respondents reported that on most days, they feel "completely overwhelmed" by stress. At the same time, a growing body of research is documenting the negative health consequences of higher stress levels, which include increased rates of cancer, heart disease, autoimmune conditions and even dementia.

Artificial intelligence (AI) in health care is rapidly advancing beyond traditional applications. Autonomous AI agents are gaining significant attention for their potential to fundamentally transform medicine. However, researchers at the Else Kröner Fresenius Center (EKFZ) for Digital Health at TUD Dresden University of Technology highlight a growing mismatch between the capabilities of autonomous AI agents and existing medical device regulatory frameworks in the US and Europe.
