US Preventive Services Task Force Recommends Mammograms at Age 40 for Most Women: What You Need to Know
The Importance of Mammograms for Women’s Health
How common is breast cancer?
An influential group of medical experts, the US Preventive Services Task Force, recently recommended that most women receive a mammogram starting at age 40. This recommendation marks a significant change from their previous guidance, which advised women to start biennial mammograms by age 50. The task force now suggests that women should continue to get a mammogram every other year until age 74.
This shift in recommendations raises several important questions: Why were these changes made? Who should follow this updated guidance? Are there women who need to receive screening even earlier or more often? What other tests besides a mammogram may be necessary? And are there preventive measures that can be taken to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer?
To shed light on these topics, CNN spoke with Dr. Leana Wen, an esteemed wellness expert and emergency physician. Dr. Wen emphasized the significance of breast cancer as the second most common cancer in women and the second leading cause of ca

On February 7, 2024, Dennie Meijer received his PhD from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam for his thesis ‘Towards clinical implementation of PSMA PET/CT in prostate cancer’.

Dennie Meijer currently works as an independent occupational health and safety doctor for various occupational health and safety services in absenteeism guidance.
What was the purpose of your PhD research?
The aim of my PhD research was to investigate the oncological outcomes of patients with prostate cancer in the PSMA era, a new imaging technique that has been increasingly used in the Netherlands since 2016-2017. More and more results emerged that the diagnosis using this scan was better than with conventional imaging, and that the treatment of patients with prostate cancer is increasingly adapted based on the findings of the PSMA PET/CT. We wanted to map out what influence this has had on oncological outcomes, and how the PSMA PET/CT has been/is being implemented in clinical practice.
What do you want the clinical doctor to know about your research?
Those are several things. To begin with, in my opinion there is no longer any doubt about the usability of the

The Hidden Danger of Flame Retardants in Car Seats: A Threat to Your Health
The Automotive industry has long been a hub of innovation and technological advancement. However, recent research has shed light on a concerning issue – the use of flame retardants in auto interior seats, and the subsequent pollution of the air within car cabins.
According to peer-reviewed research conducted in the US, nearly 99% of car-interior air samples contain at least one flame retardant considered to be a carcinogen or a potential carcinogen. The study further highlighted the presence of additional flame retardants associated with reproductive disorders and neurological problems, including reduced IQ in children.
Lead author Rebecca Hoehn, a researcher at Duke University, emphasized that this issue poses a significant public health concern. As the average driver spends about an hour in their car daily, the prolonged exposure to these toxic chemicals can have adverse effects on their health. This is particularly alarming for individuals with longer commutes and child passengers, who breathe more air pound for pound than adults.
To meet regulations implemented by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flame retardants are added to car seat foam to prevent fires. However, the study found that these chemi
