51Թresearchers identify bacteria that could provide an early warning of blue-green algae toxicity

51ԹFaculty of Medicine news - Mon, 11/03/2025 - 11:25

Researchers at 51Թ have identifiedbacteria that can indicate whether a blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) bloom is likely to be toxic, offering a potential water-safety early warning system. Blooms are becoming more frequent due to climate change, according toprevious 51Թresearch. They can produce various contaminants, known as cyanotoxins, that pose serious health risks to humans, pets and wildlife.

96 Global Health NOW: ‘Devastating’ Upheaval in the Obamacare Marketplace; and Preventing Preterm Births in Australia November 3, 2025 TOP STORIES Mpox has spread in 17 countries in Africa over the past six weeks, , with ~2,860 cases and 17 deaths between Sept. 14 and Oct. 19; Malaysia, Namibia, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain have also detected Clade Ib mpox for the first time since the last report.      Support for the MMR vaccine has dropped among U.S. adults from 90% to 82% within just a few months, at the University of Pennsylvania, which also found that 43% of adults do not know whether HHS Sec. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recommends the MMR vaccine.     The WHO is giving new guidance for countries to respond to the global health funding crisis as aid from the U.S. and other countries is cut this year by ~30%–50%; suggested measures include protecting essential health services and prioritizing health care accessed most by the poorest.     Autism diagnosis rates are higher among children born to mothers who tested positive for COVID-19 during pregnancy, , which analyzed 18,000+ births in Brigham health system from March 2020 to May 2021; risk differences were most pronounced among boys and when infection occurred in the third trimester.   IN FOCUS The healthcare.gov website, where millions of Americans buy their health insurance, seen on a laptop in Norfolk, Virginia, on November 1. Stefani Reynolds/Bloomberg via Getty Images  Upheaval in the Obamacare Marketplace    The ~24 million Americans relying on health insurance provided through state- and federally run marketplaces commonly known as Obamacare are facing steep price hikes and confusion as open enrollment kicks off amid political turmoil, expiring subsidies, and the government shutdown, .    The marketplaces, including Healthcare.gov, opened Saturday for 2026 coverage, and the sticker shock varies from state to state—with average premiums rising 114%,     Factors at play:    Subsidy standoff: Democrats and Republicans have clashed over extending pandemic-era “enhanced” subsidies that expire Dec. 31. 
  • Depending on how states step in to cover subsidies, the increased amount enrollees will pay varies widely—from 30% in Maryland to 175% in New Jersey—without the extension.  
Rising prices: Premium spikes were already expected to be some of the highest in the marketplace’s history, , with ACA insurance providers raising prices by an average of ~26%, .     States are left in limbo as they oversee the rollout of new plans while also planning for a potential agreement in Congress that could alter prices.  
  • “It’s devastating. We’ve gotten to the point that real people are in the middle of this now,” said Jessica Altman, executive director of California’s state exchange. 
GLOBAL HEALTH VOICES REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH Preventing Preterm Births in Australia    Australia has significantly curbed preterm births since introducing a landmark prevention program in 2018, with the national rate dropping 7%–10%—or ~4,000 fewer early births each year, .     The federally funded initiative was supported “all the way down through to individual hospitals,” explained John Newnham, who led the program. Key strategies include:  
  • No elective deliveries before 39 weeks without medical justification. 
  • Measuring cervix length at all mid-pregnancy scans. 
  • Interventions including progesterone and surgical procedures.  
  • Smoking cessation support if needed. 
  • Continuity of care from a known midwife. 
  QUICK HITS Child bride faces execution in Iran unless she pays £80,000 in ‘blood money’ –       FDA restricts use of kids' fluoride supplements, citing emerging health risks –     FDA’s top drug regulator resigns after federal officials probe ‘serious concerns’ about his conduct –     Firms ordered to reduce forever chemicals in drinking water sources for 6 million people –     Alzheimer’s might be powered by a broken sleep-wake cycle –     Why this clinical trial is offering some young cancer patients hope –   Issue No. 2815

51Թ is located on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous Peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg Nations. 51Թhonours, recognizes, and respects these nations as the traditional stewards of the lands and waters on which peoples of the world now gather. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous Peoples from across Turtle Island. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
