Why So Many Women Are Waiting Longer to Have Kids
In 1970, the average woman in the U.S. had her first baby at around 21 years old. That’s hard to imagine now: new federal data published in April show that in 2022, the average first-time mother was a little older than 27—a record high for the country, and a sign of a major demographic change.
This shift has been underway for years. Teenagers and women in their early 20s are having fewer kids, while the opposite is happening among older age groups. In 2022, for the seventh year in a row, the birth rate among U.S. women in their early 30s was higher than the rate among those in their late 20s. Perhaps even mo...

Let more NHS staff work flexibly to help solve staffing crisis
NHS managers should do more to allow staff to work in flexible ways, including having more control over shift patterns or doing compressed hours*, says UNISON today (Wednesday).
Data from a new UNISON survey** shows a significant proportion of healthcare workers are not being given the alternative work patterns they’ve asked for.
The survey found two-thirds (65%) of women employed in healthcare across the UK who’ve asked for different work arrangements had their requests agreed in full.
But more than one in five (22%) were unable to obtain flexible working. A further one in eight (13%) had their requests ini...

America ’ s Growing Birthweight Crisis
Americans are increasingly at risk of having lower incomes, poorer health, and a worse shot at opportunity even before they are born. More babies are now born with low birthweights than in the last 30 years. This has caused growing inequalities that can persist if not properly addressed. In certain parts of the country, that risk may be ten-times greater.
Underweight newborns are at an increased risk of long term health challenges, lower IQ scores, and developmental delays. New data shows that the frequency of this problem is rising with more than 300,000 newborns now experiencing low birthweight. This public hea...

Can AI improve sustainability in nuclear medicine?
Nuclear medicine experts support the use of AI to improve sustainability of practices in the field, yet said implementation will require careful consideration of the technology’s benefits and detriments, according to an article published April 6 in Radiography.
Lead author Geoff Currie, PhD, of Charles Sturt University in New South Wales, Australia, and U.S. colleagues, discussed the potential for AI across what they describe as the “five pillars” of sustainability in nuclear medicine (social, human, economic, ecological, and environmental) and noted its benefits and threats in each pillar.

Health workers deserve better than this government
Speaking to delegates gathered at UNISON’s annual health conference in Brighton today (Tuesday), UNISON general secretary Christina McAnea said:
“The government’s promised but not delivered on the NHS. Its legacy will be crumbling hospital estates, outdated equipment, appalling waiting lists and NHS staff at their wits’ ends.
“Investment’s been drained for 14 years, capacity’s tumbling and workforce stress is ratcheting up.
“It’s no small wonder three in ten NHS workers had to take time off for mental health issues in the past year.
“The pressures on healthcare staff are immense. They’re caring for ...
