One injected dose of an experimental malaria monoclonal antibody developed by NIAID was 77% effective against malaria disease in children in Mali during the country’s six-month malaria season, according to results published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Study authors say the Phase 2 trial results demonstrated for the first time that a single dose of a monoclonal antibody given by subcutaneous injection can provide high-level protection against malaria in children in an area of intense malaria transmission. The trial assessed L9LS in two dose levels, with 19% of the 300mg-dose group and 28% of the 150mg-dose group developing symptomatic malaria, providing protective efficacy of 77% and 67% against symptomatic malaria, respectively. Among children who received placebo, 81% became infected with Plasmodium falciparum, and 59% had symptomatic malaria during the six-month study period. The researchers are continuing clinical development of L9LS, focusing on other high-risk populations, such as infants and young children, children hospitalized with severe anemia, and pregnant women.
Study Suggests Treatments that Unleash Immune Cells in the Brain Could Help Combat Alzheimer’s Posted on April 25th, 2024 by Dr. Monica M. Bertagnolli

In Alzheimer’s disease, a buildup of sticky amyloid proteins in the brain clump together to form plaques, causing damage that gradually leads to worsening dementia symptoms. A promising way to change the course of this disease is with treatments that clear away damaging amyloid plaques or stop them from forming in the first place. In fact, the Food and Drug Administration recently approved the first drug for early Alzheimer’s that moderately slows cognitive decline by reducing amyloid plaques. Still, more progress is needed to combat this devastating disease that as many as 6.7 million Americans were living with in 2023.
Recent findings from a study in mice, supported in part by NIH and reported in Science Translational Medicine , offer another potential way to clear amyloid plaques in the brain. The key component of this strategy is using the brain’s built-in cleanup crew for amyloid plaques and other waste products: immune cells known as microglia that naturally help to limit the progression of Alzheimer’s. The findings suggest it may be possible to develop immunotherapies—treatments that use the body’s immune system to fight disease—to activate microglia in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s and clear amyloid plaques more effectively.

Singer and songwriter Eric Paslay may have chosen a different career path than his original dream of pediatrics, but he’s still helping kids. Paslay has recorded hit songs and written for other country music stars like Amy Grant and Lady A. He also loves his role as an advocate for people with type 1 diabetes—and sharing his own journey with the disease. He spoke with NIH MedlinePlus Magazine about life with type 1 and his message of hope for others who have it.
Type 1 diabetes: What you need to know
https://magazine.medlineplus.gov/article/type-1-diabetes-what-you-need-to-know?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
More than 37 million Americans have diabetes, which causes high blood sugar. Normally, your body produces insulin, a hormone that helps regulate levels of blood glucose, also called blood sugar. With diabetes, your body either can’t produce enough insulin or can’t properly use the insulin it does produce. For people with type 1 diabetes, the immune system destroys cells in the pancreas that make insulin. This causes sugar to build up in

Big Data Approaches for Novel Mechanistic Insights on Disorders of Sleep and Circadian Rhythms Virtual Workshop
This workshop will highlight innovative approaches using database mining, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (Al) for improved detection and classification of sleep and circadian disorders, potentially paving the way for advanced therapeutic interventions. The utilization of ML and Al as a paradigm for improving disease identification, diagnosis, and classification will be examined, extending its implications beyond sleep disorders to encompass a broad spectrum of heterogeneous and multifactorial diseases. The workshop will include an introduction to NHLBI's BioData Catalyst, highlighting the features and capabilities of the platform and its applicability to disorders of sleep and circadian rhythms.
Workshop Goals and Objectives:
To harness the rich but under-utilized, multi-dimensional data collected from polysomnography (PSG) - including oscillations of sleep, cardiac, and respiratory signals - to innovate diagnostic and patient management strategies.
To discuss recent approaches and emerging concepts regarding the influence of sleep health on various health outcomes, along with the associated advantages and challenges.
To integrate sleep-related physiological data with demographic, behavioral, genetic, genomic, and other biological, psychosocial, and lifestyle variables for a holistic analysis of the factors influencing sleep and its disorders.
Accelerating Science to Improve Early Autism Screening
https://www.nimh.nih.gov/news/science-news/2024/accelerating-science-to-improve-early-autism-screening?utm_campaign=75&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govd
Today, thanks to research focused on embedding routine screening in well-baby checkups, the early signs of autism can be identified in children as young as 12–14 months. These efforts, many supported by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), show that making early autism screening part of routine health care can have a significant impact on children and families, helping connect them to support and services as early as possible.
Researchers are continuing to explore the best ways to put existing evidence-based screening methods into practice. NIMH is also focused on research that seeks to develop new and improved tools for early detection.

Afib more common in young people than previously thought, per study
Atrial fibrillation, the most common type of abnormal heart beat, is on the rise among people under age 65, according to a study published yesterday in Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology. The study included more than 67,000 people with Afib treated at the UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute between 2010 and 2019. Nearly a quarter of those patients were under 65 — a rate much higher than the typically cited prevalence of about 2%, the authors wrote.
The younger adults with Afib were more likely to be hospitalized for heart failure, stroke, or heart attack, and had significantly higher mortality rates compared to people of similar age and gender. They also had a high number of cardiovascular risk factors including smoking, high BMI, diabetes, heart failure, a previous stroke, and more, which can contribute to further damaging the heart over time, researchers noted.

Why Gaza health care facilities and workers have suffered so much violence By Leonard RubensteinOct. 14, 2023
https://www.statnews.com/2023/10/14/gaza-israel-hospitals-health-care-warzones/?utm_campaign=morning_rounds&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-84BFO-19syyxMHoFAaI3727t70vLZc-7Evk6Biee4I_eZeH5yGJ1IqXYZEdhVC725PJziL82HDNRHd3XBeLhueAoLTlg&_hsmi=303669506&utm_content=303669506&utm_source=hs_email
Heitham Mohammed Ibrahim Awadalla, a physician and director of Sudan’s Federal Ministry of Health, remembers when everything about his job changed one year ago, after civil war erupted in the country. Since then, an estimated 15,000 people have died, tens of thousands have been injured, and nearly 8 million people have been displaced. Most physicians, nurses, and other health professionals fled to safer states within Sudan or nearby countries.
The war has curtailed necessary work to keep cholera, dengue fever, and measles in check. Still, in a new First Opinion essay, he writes: “The ministry staff and the public health corps who remain at work have committed to the goal of saving lives, and that has kept the system functioning when many, including me, thought it would collapse.”
Read more for a first-hand account of how to continue protecting public health during a national crisis. And if you’d like to read more on the effects that war can have on health care, you can revisit a First Opinion essay by Johns Hopkins professor Leonard Rubenstein from last fall about why hospitals and other health care facilities in Gaza have suffered so much violence.

Gun violence spreads like an infectious disease, new research finds Megan Thielking By Megan Thielking Jan. 3, 2017

Can hospital programs address the epidemic of gun violence?
Gun violence is considered an epidemic in this country, and a public health crisis that medical students are trained to respond to. It spreads like an infectious disease, except while many non-Covid contagions were suppressed during the pandemic, gun violence surged.
A new guide from Everytown for Gun Safety and the Health Alliance for Violence Intervention details a potential systematic way to help victims of gun violence: hospital-based violence intervention programs, or HVIPs. These programs connect survivors of gun violence with hospital staff who create individual plans for patients involving case management, counseling, crisis support, and other services outside of the hospital. In Baltimore, people who participated in an HVIP were six times less likely to be hospitalized for another violent injury two years after completing the program than those who didn’t, per the guide. But a literature review last year noted that, despite some evidence that HVIPs are beneficial, more and larger randomized controlled trials are needed.
Postpartum Breast Cancer and Survival in Women With Germline BRCA Pathogenic Variants
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2817835
From the article: "Is postpartum diagnosis an independent risk factor associated with mortality among patients with young-onset breast cancer with germline BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants (PVs)? Findings: This cohort study including 903 women with BRCA germline PVs found that a breast cancer diagnosis less than 10 years post partum was associated with higher risk of mortality compared with nulliparous women and women diagnosed at least 10 years post partum. Increased risk after childbirth varied, with highest risk at less than 5 years for women with ER-positive breast cancer vs 5 to less than 10 years for women with ER-negative breast cancer, and BRCA1 carriers had peak risk of mortality 5 to less than 10 years post partum, with no associations observed for BRCA2 carriers. Meaning: These findings suggest that a breast cancer diagnosis within 10 years of childbirth was independently associated with increased risk for mortality in patients with germline BRCA1/2 PVs, especially for carriers of BRCA1 PVs."

ADHD is often overlooked in females. They need help, too By Michael Morse and Kathleen NadeauApril 15, 2024

Overactive, disruptive boys who need help to focus on their schoolwork have long been a sort of cultural poster child for ADHD, or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. But in a new First Opinion, psychiatrist Michael Morse and psychologist Kathleen Nadau point to an important fact: Women and girls can also have ADHD, and when they do, they’re chronically underdiagnosed and undertreated.
Part of the problem may lie in the diagnostic criteria for ADHD. “The current criteria are not fine-tuned to identify more subtle presentations of ADHD in females,” they write. Additionally, girls are often less likely to be disruptive at school or at home than boys. “But the fact that females with ADHD may not be a problem for others doesn’t mean that they are not suffering in silence,” they add. Read more on how this gender disparity came to be, and why there is hope on the horizon to change it.

CDC’s 2022 STI Surveillance Report underscores that STIs must be a public health priority Yet again, more than 2.5 million cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis were reported in the United States
https://www.cdc.gov/std/statistics/2022/default.htm?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
Sexually Transmitted Infections Surveillance, 2022 provides the most current and complete data for nationally notifiable STIs for federally funded control programs. CDC’s annual report underscores that STIs must be a public health priority. In 2022, more than 2.5 million cases of syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia were reported in the United States. The most alarming concerns center around the syphilis and congenital syphilis epidemics, signaling an urgent need for swift innovation and collaboration from all STI prevention partners. In addition to the syphilis epidemic worsening, reported gonorrhea cases declined for the first time in at least a decade while reported chlamydia cases were level. CDC will continue to examine this finding closely and look to 2023 data for better understanding, but recognize this finding may be a cause for an even closer look at public health efforts and redoubled prevention strategies. As STI services and related resources continue to rebound from the U.S. COVID-19 pandemic and mpox outbreak, we must act now to mobilize and execute a whole-of-nation approach if we hope to turn the tide.

Smart nanoprobe illuminates prostate cancer cells
Smart nanoprobe illuminates prostate cancer cells: NIBIB-supported researchers have developed a smart nanoprobe designed to infiltrate prostate tumors and send back a signal using an optical imaging technique known as Raman spectroscopy. The new probe, evaluated in mice, has the potential to determine tumor aggressiveness and could also enable sequential monitoring of tumors during therapy to quickly determine if a treatment strategy is working.
