STAT Health News: HHS, mRNA, therapy, CPR

STAT Health News: HHS, mRNA, therapy, CPR
SHARE

The recent decision by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to stop funding mRNA vaccine research has sent shockwaves through the medical community. The Alliance for mRNA Medicines, a group of 77 companies and institutions working on mRNA therapies, was particularly affected by this announcement. Many companies within the alliance stand to lose close to a billion dollars due to this decision.

The impact of this move extends beyond just the companies directly named in the announcement. mRNA technology plays a crucial role in cancer immunotherapy research, with many therapies relying on this technology to stimulate an immune response against tumors. If mRNA technology is deemed unfavorable, it could have far-reaching consequences for the development and approval of these therapies.

In a similar vein, a recent study has highlighted the concerning trend of increased consumption of ultra-processed foods among American adults. Between 2021 and 2023, ultra-processed foods accounted for 53% of all calories consumed by adults, a slight decrease from previous years. However, for individuals under 18, the consumption of ultra-processed foods remained high at almost 62%. The reasons behind this trend are unclear, but it raises important questions about the impact of diet on overall health.

On a different note, the ethical dilemma of “slow codes” in medical practice has been brought to light. Slow codes involve a half-hearted attempt at CPR for patients with low chances of survival, aimed at reducing prolonged suffering and avoiding conflict with families. While traditionally considered unethical, some argue that in certain circumstances, slow codes may be necessary to navigate complex end-of-life care situations.

Additionally, a study from the UK has found that psychological therapy is more effective for older adults compared to young adults. Young adults were 25% less likely to achieve reliable recovery thresholds compared to working-aged adults. This disparity highlights the need for tailored psychological interventions for different age groups to improve treatment outcomes.

In other news, a nationally representative survey has revealed that 1 in 5 American women between the ages of 50 and 64 have used a GLP-1 drug. This demographic group has the highest usage of these drugs, indicating a significant prevalence of use among middle-aged women. Overall, almost 12% of the population has used GLP-1 drugs, according to the survey.

These developments underscore the ongoing challenges and advancements in the fields of medicine, public health, and ethics. Stay tuned for more updates on these important issues.
