The Oregonian’s coverage of the massive crow art installation mentions the art trail is a joint effort that includes OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.

A STAT News story focused on social clubs as one way to protect the mental health of boys quotes Christopher Reigeluth, Ph.D., who says, “A boy who interacts with that kind of role model sees someone who experienced similar socialization pressure — in particular, the masculinity policing that, since an early age, mandates boys not be too sensitive or emotional, and deprives them of the opportunity of emotional expression — and yet is still able to express himself vulnerably.”

The mental and emotional toll of acromegaly, a rare hormone disorder, quotes Maria Fleseriu, M.D., who says, “Persistent joint disease, skeletal changes, sleep disturbances, fatigue and metabolic or cardiovascular complications can continue even after normalization of IGF-1 levels.”

A story in Everyday Health about the mental and emotional toll of acromegaly, a rare hormone disorder, quotes Maria Fleseriu, M.D., who says, “Persistent joint disease, skeletal changes, sleep disturbances, fatigue and metabolic or cardiovascular complications can continue even after normalization of IGF-1 levels.”

In the OHSU podcast Innovate Health, Aditi Martin, Ph.D., explains how OHSU Innovates guides researchers and clinicians in transforming lab discoveries into startups and market-ready health technologies, illustrated by success stories like Trace Biosciences and NeuraMedica. She says, “We’re agnostic to the type of partner that we can support. Industry is our bread and butter, but we’ve seen a lot of younger startup companies that want to work with OHSU. We help identify partners and create and build those partnerships.”

OHSU has been awarded $6.5 million in federal funding over the next two years for six projects to improve healthcare in rural Oregon.

Inside Philanthropy profiles how Nike cofounder Phil Knight and wife Penny have donated nearly $8 billion over two decades, concentrated heavily on the University of Oregon, Stanford, and OHSU, including a record $2 billion Knight Cancer Institute gift.

A letter to the editor in the Eugene-Springfield Lookout voices support for Oregon’s Universal Healthcare Governance Board, noting that a recent OHSU study found that when people with diabetes or other chronic conditions lose access to healthcare, their health gets worse.

BBC Future reports that scientists are studying how Arctic ground squirrels safely drop their body temperature to near-freezing during hibernation, hoping to develop drugs that induce similar protective “torpor” in humans facing brain injury, stroke, or cardiac arrest. Domenico Tupone, Ph.D., says slowing down metabolism could help to preserve organs destined for transplantation for longer time periods outside the body, or could help to protect cancer patients against the harmful effects of radiation.

Clinical Oncology News reports on a study that finds the specific ratio and components of THC and CBD significantly affect their effectiveness and side-effect profile when used for pain management, so clinicians should tailor formulations rather than treating “cannabis” as one-size-fits-all. Roger Chou, M.D., says, “Cannabis is complicated since it comes from a plant with a lot of different components, the main ones being CBD and THC.”
