In an unprecedented show of unity in support of the World Health Organization, 14 African countries and many partners pledged over US$ 45 million to the WHO Investment Round, a three-month-old initiative aimed at generating sustainable financing for the organization at the center of the global health architecture. The commitments were made during the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Committee for Africa, with
A new experimental drug called CS18 may help break through cancer drug resistance by disabling several of the defenses tumors use to survive treatment. It strengthened existing therapies, restored drug sensitivity in resistant lung cancer cells, and slowed tumor growth in animal models.
ACSM’s From Around the Field Science Webinar Series Open to Students ACSM’s From Around the Field Science webinar series is designed to provide ACSM students and members with an opportunity to learn about the diverse science our members conduct. Join us for informal discussions with our ACSM members to hear more about what they study, […] The post Science Spotlight | Late September 2026 appeared first on ACSM .
Sports participation among women and girls has dramatically increased over the past decade, reflected in a record numbers of girls competing in high school and collegiate sports and women competing in the recent Olympic and Paralympic Games. For women and girls, sport participation is associated with opportunities to develop physical competence, improve components of fitness, […] The post Hot Topic | Energy Bal
Caffeine may make sleep less restorative even when you fall asleep normally and stay in bed for eight hours, with EEG recordings revealing fewer of the slow brain waves associated with deep sleep. Individual sensitivity varies dramatically, meaning even caffeine consumed earlier in the day could affect nighttime recovery for some people.
A minimally invasive procedure called genicular artery embolization could offer a new middle ground between conservative treatments and knee replacement for osteoarthritis. By blocking tiny blood vessels associated with inflammation, GAE can significantly reduce pain, with some patients reporting little or no pain afterward. Studies suggest the benefits may last two to four years in people who respond well.
Eating more ultra-processed foods was linked to greater fat buildup inside thigh muscles, according to MRI scans of 615 adults at risk for knee osteoarthritis. Surprisingly, the association remained even after researchers accounted for calorie intake, physical activity, and other factors. Fatty changes in these muscles may weaken support around the knee and potentially increase osteoarthritis risk.
A naturally occurring molecule called erucamide may help the retina fight back against diseases that cause progressive vision loss. Restoring the molecule activated protective immune responses that helped stabilize retinal tissue and slow aspects of degeneration in preclinical models.
The 2025 reconciliation bill, officially known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (OBBBA), underwent significant changes as it moved from the House to the Senate and ultimately became law. The post Congress Averts Shutdown with Short-Term Funding Deal appeared first on ACSM .
The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is pleased to announce the launch of the Semantic Precision for AI Retrieval of Knowledge (SPARK) Challenges. Engineers, data scientists, researchers, startups, and non-profits are invited to build AI systems that improve biomedical literature and clinical research data discovery across PubMed/PMC (35 million-plus citations) and dbGaP.
