A research letter was recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Association examining hospitalization, readmission, and mortality rates following pulmonary embolism (PE) in older US adults from 1999 through 2015. Researchers found that hospitalization rates for PE increased while length of stay, readmission rates, and short-term and one-year mortality rates declined. Investigators believe that these trends may be explained by advances in the diagnosis and management of PE, such as computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA), which is now the standard diagnostic test. Frequent use of CTPA may have contributed to identifying less severe PEs, hence the reduced mortality rates.

The discovery may provide relief for chronic ringing in the ears (tinnitus) and aid communication skills in people with autism. The first-of-its-kind study, published ahead of print in the Journal of Neurophysiology (JNP), was chosen as an APSselect article for August.
Astronomers have uncovered a new way of searching for life in the cosmos. Harsh ultraviolet radiation flares from red suns, once thought to destroy surface life on planets, might help uncover hidden biospheres. Their radiation could trigger a protective glow from life on exoplanets called biofluorescence, according to new Cornell University research.

You don’t think it could happen to you, but the stories in the news show it can. Nearly 40 children die every year from being left in a parked car, and a majority of them are parents just forgetting their child was in the car.
Dr. Brian Johnston, chief of pediatrics at Harborview Medical Center, says temperatures can rise quickly in minutes if a car is sitting in the sun, even if it’s only 70 or 80 degrees outside. A simple way to remind yourself to look in the backseat before getting out is to leave your cell phone there.
