The U.S. government is taking action to stop ‘cow flu.’ Is it too little, too late?
The U.S. government announced new measures yesterday to slow the spread of the H5N1 influenza virus among cattle, following the revelation that milk sold commercially in 10 states contained fragments of the virus. An order issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) restricts the movement of dairy cattle between states and mandates the reporting of infected cows.
The
order
comes as new genetic evidence suggests cattle infections with the virus, first announced on 25 March, may have started as early as the fall of 2023, and that the virus has likely circulated far beyond the 33 farms in eight states ...

Clinical practice LCS program finds more disease than NLST
Over a five-year period, a clinical practice lung cancer screening program at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, NC, found more disease than did the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST), researchers have reported.
The program showed a higher rate of lung cancer compared to the NLST’s, at 3.4% versus 2.4%. It also found more stage IV disease, wrote a team led by Kyle Lafata, PhD. The results were published April 23 in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.
“As LCS uptake increases, monitoring and tracking screening outcomes in clinical practice settings is key to high-quality screening and success,...

MR elastography effective for assessing liver stiffness in children
MR elastography (MRE) is an effective technique for noninvasive monitoring of liver stiffness -- a surrogate for fibrosis -- in children and young adults with autoimmune liver disease, researchers have reported.
A team led by first author Jonathan Dillman, MD, of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Center in Ohio found that MRE liver stiffness measurements were elevated in children and young adults with autoimmune liver disease. The results were published April 18 in the American Journal of Roentgenology.
“[As well, these measurements] were not significantly different between subsets of patients with primary sclerosing ch...
