“There is no expiration date”: a qualitative analysis using the Social Cognitive Theory to identify factors influencing physical activity among adults living with advanced cancer
ConclusionsAdults living with advanced cancer are interested in pursuing activity to gain strength and maintain independence despite reported barriers to physical activity. To ensure patients are encouraged to be active, accessible resources, targeted referrals, and interventions designed to address their goals are critical next steps.RelevanceIntegrating conversations about physical activity into oncology care for adults living with advanced cancer is an important next step to encourage patients to remain active and help them improve strength and maintain quality of life and independence.

Plan to end NASA x-ray scope draws fire
NASA
Scientists are lobbying the U.S. Congress to reverse NASA’s plan to shut down the nearly 25-year-old Chandra X-ray Observatory. President Joe Biden’s budget request for the 2025 fiscal year, released last week, calls for slashing the space telescope’s budget to $41.1 million, a decline of 40% from the 2023 level, and additional cuts in following years. Half of Chandra’s 165-person staff could be laid off later this year. The telescope (illustrated) has fueled major discoveries about super...

Have U.S. deaths from pregnancy complications tripled?
Experts agree that the U.S. maternal mortality rate is unacceptably high. And year after year of data show that disadvantaged groups, particularly Black and Native American women, die at even higher rates than women in the United States overall during pregnancy and childbirth.
But controversy broke out last week over just how bad the situation is, when a paper by academic epidemiologists published in the
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology
(
AJOG
) provoked unusual pushback from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The paper suggested a widely reported tripling in t...

Strange wall of stones found beneath Baltic Sea may have helped humans hunt reindeer
During a research cruise to map an underwater ridge off the German coast in 2021, Jacob Geersen and his students took acoustic scans of the bottom of the Baltic Sea. But something strange emerged from their images: A line of objects, 21 meters down, ran across the sea floor for nearly 1 kilometer. Most were between the size of a tennis ball and a soccer ball. Others were as large as small cars, up to 3 meters across. “We didn’t think it was likely to be of geologic origin, but that’s where our knowledge stopped,” says Geersen, a marine geologist at the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research.
So Geersen tea...
