I was so pleased to speak recently with The New York Times reporter, Danielle Friedman, for her recent story on fascia, “The Tissue That Connects Our Muscles May Be a Key to Better Health.” The role of fascia in how our bodies function and the impact on our health is a topic that hasn’t gotten enough attention, but that is beginning to change, and it’s encouraging to have a thoughtful discussion on this subject.
As Ms. Friedman explained, fascia is “the tough, flexible tissue that surrounds and connects muscles, bones, and organs like cling wrap.” I’m proud of the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health’s work to advance research on this significant yet understudied part of our bodies. Our efforts are aimed at answering questions on how the health of fascia relates to overall health and wellness, physical performance, and its relationship to chronic pain, which affects about one in five Americans.

Conversations on Cancer: Living with Metastatic Breast Cancer OCTOBER 19, 2023
Conversations on Cancer: Living with Metastatic Breast Cancer
OCTOBER 19, 2023
https://www.fda.gov/news-events/fda-meetings-conferences-and-workshops/conversations-cancer-living-metastatic-breast-cancer-10192023?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
Background:
FDA Oncology Center of Excellence (OCE) in conjunction with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) presents a Conversations on Cancer public panel discussion October 19, 2023, addressing the experience of living with metastatic breast cancer.
Approximately 10-30% of breast cancer patients in the world are living with advanced stage or metastatic disease. With improvements in treatments and more options for therapies, many of these patients are living for years with their cancer. Cancer survivorship has become an issue of growing importance since the Institute of Medicine reported this to be an important public health issue in 2006, and it has continued to be highlighted through the more recent launch of the Cancer Moonshot in the US and the EU beating cancer plan in EU. Though many patients living with advanced breast cancer experience some of the same stressors and long-term impacts of therapies that affect all cancer survivors, they are not routinely included in cancer survivorship programs and research.
The panel will feature speakers with a range of perspectives on breast cancer and, for the first time, will be an international collaboration with our colleagues at the EMA with the hope of highlighting the day-to-day, year-to-year experience of patients living with metastatic breast cancer.
Some of the themes we plan to discuss include:
How people find care for advanced stage breast cancer? What are the barriers to finding new treatments?
What are some of the long-term effects of cancer therapies and how have they impacted patients’ choices for care?
Are there mental health issues that particularly need to be addressed for patients with advanced breast cancer such as stress, difficulty sleeping, job loss?
How can clinical researchers and regulators better address the key issues we have highlighted for patients living with metastatic breast cancer?
Given our new collaboration with the EMA, we also hope to learn from any common threads and/or distinctions amongst patients and providers in U.S. and Europe.
Webcast Information:
A free-of-charge webcast of this public panel discussion will be provided. Registration for the webcast is required at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SGF5FCP

You’ve heard of reaching for the Moon, but the White House’s Cancer Moonshot initiative aims to do more. The recently reignited initiative has set forth an ambitious goal: to reduce the cancer death rate by at least half by 2047—which would prevent more than 4 million deaths—and improve the lives of people diagnosed with cancer. Last week, the White House released a new fact sheet of actions to move the initiative forward, and the International Space Station (ISS) National Laboratory and NASA are highlighted as key players.

County-Level Sociodemographic Characteristics and Availability of COVID-19 Therapeutic Drugs
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2809728?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
An NIMHD-funded study investigating the availability of COVID-19 therapeutics across the U.S. found that there were disparities in access to these drugs. Counties with high rates of people living below the federal poverty line, individuals without health insurance, and populations with a high social vulnerability index had lower access to treatment. This was also the case for counties with high numbers of Black individuals. The findings were published in JAMA on Wednesday, September 20.
The study was co-authored by NIH’s Stadtman Invesigator, Dr. Kosuke Tamura, who heads the Socio-Spatial Determinants of Health (SSDH) Laboratory in the Division of Intramural Research at NIMHD.

SAMHSA Releases Key Survey Findings on Recovery from Substance Use and Mental Health Problems Among Adults in the United States Today
https://store.samhsa.gov/product/recovery-from-substance-use-mental-health-problems-among-adults-in-us/pep23-10-00-001?utm_source=SAMHSA&utm_campaign=1c4d61efbf-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2023_09_15_04_00&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-1c4d61efbf-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D
As part of SAMHSA’s 2023 National Recovery Month efforts, SAMHSA’s Office of Recovery has released the Recovery from Substance Use and Mental Health Problems Among Adults in the United States Report.
Based on data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), an annual survey sponsored by SAMHSA, key findings from the report include:
Recovery is real and possible – A significant majority (7 in 10) of adults who have had a mental health or substance use condition are in recovery and they represent over 50 million Americans.
Recovery is holistic and personalized – Factors such as social supports, treatment, insurance coverage, and spirituality can be key in supporting recovery.
Resilience can accompany recovery – People in recovery reported that their mental health and substance use were not significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Conducted annually, the NSDUH provides nationally representative data on the use of tobacco, alcohol, and drugs; substance use disorders; receipt of substance use treatment; mental health issues; and the use of mental health services among the civilian, noninstitutionalized population aged 12 or older in the United States.

We are pleased to invite you to the virtual launch of Women, power and cancer: A Lancet Commission, on Sep 27, 2023, at 13:00 BST/11:00 EDT. Attendance is free, and you can register to attend the session here.
Women, power, and cancer: A Lancet Commission applies an intersectional feminist approach to investigate, expose, and challenge the current imbalance of power in relation to cancer. The report calls for sex and gender to be included in all cancer-related policies and guidelines, making them responsive to the needs and aspirations of all women, whether they be cancer patients, care providers, researchers, or advocates.
With opening remarks from Vania Wisdom, Executive Editor of The Lancet and Oncology Ambassador, and a panel discussion moderated by Richard Horton, Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet, join us as the authors discuss key findings and recommendations from the Commission.

In response to the persistent health challenges of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and HSV-2, today the National Institutes of Health released the Strategic Plan for Herpes Simplex Virus Research. An NIH-wide HSV Working Group developed the plan, informed by feedback from more than 100 representatives of the research and advocacy communities and interested public stakeholders. HSV-1 and HSV-2 are among the most common viral infections in the United States. There are no licensed preventive HSV vaccines, and there is no cure. The plan will advance understanding of HSV virology and accelerate development of diagnostics, vaccines, and therapies.

Pregnant and Living with Sickle Cell Disease: A Push for Better Outcomes NIH, September 2023
https://phgkb.cdc.gov/PHGKB/specificPHGKB.action?topic=Infectious%20diseases&query=home
From the website: " Experts say that medical advances in care and disease-modifying therapies have helped many people living with SCD survive well through their reproductive years. For parents-to-be, that means awareness is key. Individuals with SCD are at higher risk than the general population for preeclampsia, as Found discovered; but those with preeclampsia can go on to develop a condition called eclampsia, which can lead to seizures and even coma. People with SCD are also at higher risk for sepsis and blood clots. And there are risks for the fetus, such as lower-than-normal growth in the womb, preterm delivery, and stillbirth."
