Post Score Posted Starting in 2027, low-income Americans on Medicaid must log 80 hours of work a month, and doctors will have to prove which patients are too sick to work. Experts writing in NEJM warn this means more paperwork, lower pay, struggling rural hospitals, and up to 10 million people losing health coverage. 24468 3d ago 1 in 3 American boys aged 13 to 17 follows Andrew Tate at least a little, and those who do are more likely to believe men should hide their emotions, be dominant and reject anything feminine. But the strongest predictor wasn’t Tate at all - it was parents telling their sons to be big and tough. 22806 3d ago Having health insurance in America doesn't mean you can actually use it. Researchers posing as patients called 5,822 in-network mental health providers: most calls hit voicemails, over half the listings were wrong, and just 24% of real calls ended with an appointment. 19228 8d ago Smart women at work get treated worse by their own teammates. In two studies (432 students, 394 office workers), women who scored higher on intelligence tests were seen as more hostile, got less help and faced more mistreatment. Smart men didn't face this, and in one group were even treated better. 16425 7d ago About 1 in 4 people with depression may have a ‘body clock’ type, like being stuck in permanent jet lag: late sleepers, tired mornings, worse in certain seasons. Across 11,380 people, this group got less benefit and more side effects from antidepressants, so light therapy or melatonin may help more. 16375 4d ago A 1970s heart treatment that squeezes your legs with inflatable cuffs improved memory and thinking in 84% of people with early Alzheimer’s in a 190-person trial. Most patients actually got better than where they started, not just slower decline, and 75% still had gains 6 months after treatment ended 13599 4d ago A clinical trial has found that hydrodissection, injecting saline to separate a trapped nerve from surrounding tissue, provides carpal tunnel relief lasting up to 6 months, outperforming standard steroid injections. 13555 6d ago A single dose of psilocybin eased depression within days, but its edge over placebo faded within a year. The effects appeared as early as the second day after dosing and lasted for more than three months, although by one year the difference between groups had faded. 13327 6d ago Bad apple effect: study shows how people are influenced by rule-breaking of others. Research shows how seeing bigger violations by others can lead people to increase their own rule-breaking 10290 4d ago One-quarter of the world’s data centers are located in areas where water demand exceeds supply for at least one month each year. Unlike energy, which can come from far away, water for these facilities comes from nearby rivers, lakes, and aquifers whose levels vary seasonally or annually. 9378 5d ago
