Urban heat regulating: what’s the value of nature-based cooling in cities?
Cities often experience higher temperatures than rural areas. This ‘urban heat island’ effect is an increasing risk, with the average number of hot days (28°C or above) in the UK in a ten-year window having doubled between 2005-14 and 2015-24 (Office for National Statistics, ONS, Natural Capital Accounts, 2025). Green spaces –like parks, woodlands and grassland – and blue spaces – like rivers, lakes and reservoirs – in urban areas provide cooling on hot days.
The gut microbiota directs vitamin A flux to regulate intestinal T cell development
Isolation of LP and mLN immune cells Immune cells were isolated from the small intestinal lamina propria and mesenteric lymph nodes as previously described.31 For intestinal preparations, Peyer’s patches were excised, and the tissue was flushed with 10 mL ice-cold PBS, opened longitudinally, cut into ∼2 cm pieces, and washed three times by vortexing in 10 mL PBS with 5% FBS for 2 minutes each, using a multitube vortexer.

Silencing lipid catabolism determines longevity in response to fasting
|
Abstract Oscillations between lipid anabolism and catabolism are essential for maintaining cellular health during metabolic fluctuations. Fasting, a conserved determinant of aging, improves disease outcomes and extends lifespan, yet the relative contributions of lipid catabolism versus its attenuation to fasting-induced longevity remain unresolved. The metabolic flexibility of C. elegans under variable nutrient availability provides a powerful system to address this question.

President Trump joked about domestic violence. It killed 205 Texans last year.
On Tuesday, at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., Presdident Donald Tump said that "a little fight with the wife" should not count as a crime. SAUL LOEB/AFP via Getty Images This week President Trump stunned the nation by suggesting that domestic violence should not qualify as a serious crime, dismissing it as “a little fight with the wife” that inflates crime statistics and undercuts his ability to boast about public safety.

340B: Past, Present, and Yet to Come
It is hard to operate in the pharma space today without hearing about contract pharmacies, covered entities, and the 340B Drug Pricing Program. With much disruption in the program taking place in the last few years, it is important to understand the origins of the program, where the program stands today, and where the program is likely headed in the future. As we near the holiday season, let’s review the ghosts of 340B past, present, and yet to come.

The Importance of a Drug Pricing Compendia Strategy for Product Launch
If you are a pharmaceutical, device, or digital therapeutics company (collectively manufacturers), having a drug pricing compendia strategy should be an integral part of the launch planning process. The drug pricing compendia are analogous to dictionaries of drug information, publishing specific fields for each NDC, UPC, or HRI listed. Data published can include product names, pricing, package sizes, proprietary therapeutic categories, and a host of other data elements.
Changes for 340B Coming?

Sleep Quality in School-Aged Children: A Concept Analysis
Highlights • Sleep quality impacts the growth and development of school-aged children. • The definition and measurement of sleep quality is inconsistent in school-aged children. • The measurable attributes found can be used in treatment and prevention care plans. • Sleep quality in the pediatric population should be consistently assessed.
Trust in the slow work
Slow. That’s the way that my January started out. Now I’m in my fourth week of recovering from foot surgery, and that’s been the watchword. Anyone in the middle of nursing back to full strength and health after surgery knows what a slow journey it can be. Being off the foot entirely left a lot of interesting moments with a knee scooter and deep frustration at not being able to drive and go in as many different directions as I wanted.

Regression to Normal Glucose Regulation in American Indians and Alaska Natives of a Diabetes Prevention Program
Epidemiology/Health Services Research Abstract OBJECTIVE This study evaluated whether regression from impaired glucose regulation (IGR) to normal glucose regulation (NGR) after 1 year of a lifestyle intervention reduces diabetes risk in American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs). In addition, we sought to identify predictors for regression to NGR and understand possible mechanisms for the association between NGR and future diabetes risk.

To fight prostitution, don’t make life harder for prostitutes
Over the past decade I’ve worked with hundreds of women entangled in prostitution. Too often laws and law enforcement assume that selling their bodies is a rational choice, and a line of work they can exit easily. Though many well-intended people believe the same things, those ideas are dead wrong. Sometimes, to help people see the light, I ask, “How many men have you pleasured orally today?” My conversation partners look shocked.

''You're gonna shave WHERE?!''
Your clients may be fonder of Goldie's golden locks than you imagine. So before you shave that gorgeous mane for an ultrasound exam, make sure you educate veterinary clients about their pet's new haircut. Ultrasound lets us peek deep into our patients and find disease processes faster and with more detail than ever before.
Client education: Take it one step further
Look, we can’t go home with our clients to make sure they’re following our advice. But we can offer them classes to make sure they’re getting the knowledge to offer the care their pets need. All photos courtesy of author. In an ideal world, we would see each client multiple times throughout the year. We would interact with them and their pets inside and outside of our hospital. We would be involved in their lives, and they in ours.
