Despite the increase in the use of artificial intelligence, healthcare systems and organizations across the United States are lagging in its integration, according to a new study from Arcadia. Although 52% of respondents report that AI can fundamentally change healthcare with the right applications, nearly half (53%) of AI insights are only “partially integrated” into decision-making processes, and only 14% report that they are fully integrated at “key decision points.” This healthcare platform study garnered insights from 281 healthcare leaders across providers, payers, and service organizations at the HIMSS26 conference in March. “Healthcare leaders are increasingly united around the potential…

The Gila River is one of the Southwest’s most important waterways, providing water for communities, farms, and wildlife, and connecting the snow-covered mountains of southwestern New Mexico to the desert regions of southwestern Arizona. In years with high precipitation, winter snow accumulation in the Mogollon and Black Mountains provides much of the river’s spring runoff. This water helps replenish the San Carlos Reservoir created by Coolidge Dam. When full, this reservoir ranks as the largest lake in Arizona. The collapse of the snowpack drains the reservoir The situation in 2026 was dramatically different. Snowfall in the Gila River Basin has…

Recent research examines how emotions such as fear, anger, and hope shape Black women’s political behavior outside of the voting booth. Researchers found that the type of emotion and the topic that evoked it determined whether individuals engaged in low-effort tasks, such as signing petitions, or high-effort activities, such as protesting. The findings, published in The Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Politics, show that black women are driven by a wide range of emotions that go far beyond superficial stereotypes. Political scientists frequently study how emotions predict voter behavior. Most of this research has historically focused on white Americans, and…

Earthquakes occur when stress built up in the Earth’s crust is suddenly released along cracks known as faults. These faults often form where giant plates become stuck moving past each other, allowing pressure to build for years or even centuries before rupture occurs. In Southern California, the two most important fault systems in the region are the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults. Together they account for most of the tectonic movements in the region. At Cajon Pass, northeast of Los Angeles, the two systems are close together. This is a geologically complex area where cracks on one fault can…

DAKAR, SENEGAL – The Ebola outbreak in Congo and Uganda has claimed more than 200 lives in its first month, making it the deadliest outbreak yet, with up to 35,000 people suspected of having been in contact with it, the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday. Dr. Wessam Mankoula, a medical epidemiologist at the Africa CDC, said that with 894 confirmed cases so far, this outbreak is three times worse than the previous outbreak in Uganda in 2000, when 281 people were infected during the same period. The latest number of cases is believed to be even…

Stressful situations tend to reduce the desire to mate in many animal species, but the exact brain mechanisms behind this response remain difficult to pin down. Recent research published in journals iscience We provide evidence that male Drosophila melanogaster courtship behavior is suppressed when confined to a small space. The findings suggest that the brain’s dopamine system is required to maintain this low sexual motivation even after the stressful event is over. When animals experience physical or psychological stress, changes occur in the brain that can alter basic physiological functions and behavior. These changes can last long after the stressful…

What is Novo Nordisk’s secret weapon to turn the tide against Eli Lilly and win the current market competition for oral GLP-1 obesity drugs? Name recognition. Jim Hickey, an analyst at Spherix Global Insights, said he studies competition by surveying 50 primary care physicians (PCPs) and 50 endocrinologists in the U.S. and by writing monthly reports on the uptake of new drugs that hit the market earlier this year. “It’s been interesting to see how strong Novo Nordisk came out of the gate,” Hickey said in an interview with Fierce. “As far as we can see, this is a very…

Recent psychological research is investigating how socially unpleasant personality traits affect employees’ mental health and sense of purpose. The findings of this study indicate that narcissism is associated with improved psychological well-being through higher emotional intelligence, whereas psychopathy predicts the opposite outcome. The study was published in the journal Acta Psychologica. The Dark Triad represents three negative and socially aggressive personality traits. These exact traits include narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. Although these are distinct concepts, they share a core foundation of emotional coldness, interpersonal manipulation, and a general lack of empathy for others. Narcissism usually involves grandiosity, an exaggerated sense…
