Breast density laws linked to higher ultrasound use after mammography | Penn State University (opens the original)
Read excerpt
HERSHEY, Pa. — More than 40% of American women age 40 and older have dense breast tissue, according to the National Cancer Institute. This type of tissue can make cancer harder to spot on mammograms and is itself associated with a higher risk of cancer. For some, additional screening may be appropriate. Two kinds of legislation can help drive supplemental imaging for women with dense breasts — notification laws that require that facilities tell women when dense breast tissue is found by a radiol
The secret to bats’ longevity linked to immune response to viruses and cancer | Penn State University (opens the original)
Read excerpt
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — It’s a general rule in biology: Among mammals, the bigger you are, the longer you live. Yet bats defy this principle, making them among the longest-lived mammals relative to their size. The little brown bat, for example, is roughly the size of a field mouse. While it can live up to 34 years, a field mouse survives only a few months in the wild. A new study, co-led by researchers from Penn State and the University of Vermont, suggests that the secret behind the longevity of
Parents who run with a stroller have lower risk of overuse injury | Penn State University (opens the original)
Read excerpt
READING, Pa. — Anyone who has run while pushing a stroller knows stroller running can feel cumbersome and hard on the body. But does it increase the risk of injury? According to a new study from researchers at Penn State Berks, the answer appears to be no. The study, published today (Aug. 12) in the journal PLOS One, found that parents who ran with a stroller were less likely to sustain an overuse injury during the first three years after becoming a parent compared to those who ran without a str
Q&A: Why is the Amish population growing so fast in America? | Penn State University (opens the original)
Read excerpt
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Amish, a Christian denomination and a three-centuries old German ethnic migrant group known for its strict lifestyle standards, are one of the fastest growing minority populations in the U.S. For more than a century, the number of Amish people — whose American lineage traces back to Pennsylvania in the early 1700s and the Midwest by the mid-1800s — has grown rapidly, from several thousand in 1910 to a quarter million one century later. This population is easy to overlo
$2.8M NIH grant to study effect of PFAS on the gut microbiome | Penn State University (opens the original)
Read excerpt
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, are seemingly everywhere. Not only is this group of more than 12,000 synthetic chemicals and compounds widely used in industrial and consumer products, the so-called “forever chemicals” are found in soil, water and air and has been detected in the blood of people and animals, according to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. Studies have linked PFAS to adverse health outcomes, with most studies focused on the i
