The former chair of the Stanford Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics and a member of the National Academy of Engineering survived a wartime childhood and a desperate escape from his native Hungary on his path to bringing composite materials into the next century.
For the first time this season, Royal Wootton Bassett Town seem to have hit a strong patch of form.

This JAMA Insights explores the adverse effects of wildfires on human health and health care systems and offers suggestions on how clinicians can help mitigate the health threats posed by wildfires.
This Viewpoint explores decision thresholds and the evidence that informs them as well as how clinicians may respond to an updated risk estimation model, such as the Predicting Risk of cardiovascular disease EVENTs equations.
This cross-sectional study investigates the effects of evaluating atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk using pooled cohort equations or PREVENT equations on treatment eligibility of a nationally representative sample of US adults.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death in the US and globally and risk estimation is a cornerstone approach to guiding CVD prevention. Over the past 2 decades, various tools and strategies for predicting future cardiovascular risk have been studied and deployed. The overarching goal is to match the intensity of preventive therapy to absolute risk to have the greatest impact in preventing CVD events. Even small or moderate changes in risk estimation could have a large impact... Читать дальше...
This Viewpoint analyzes the Psychopharmacologic Drugs Advisory Committee’s decisions regarding 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine–assisted therapy and what they mean for psychedelic research.
This Viewpoint from the National Center for Health Statistics reports the leading causes of death in the US from 2019 to 2023, including the emergence of COVID-19 and shifts in other top causes as pandemic deaths decreased.
In Reply We thank Dr Hilliard for her thoughtful comments regarding our Insights on APOL1-mediated kidney disease. Her hypothesis is that G1 and G2 variants of APOL1 are highly sodium-retentive and thus benefited the West African individuals who lived in the interior of the continent where salt was less abundant, leading to low sodium consumption (200 mg/d). According to this thesis, the descendants of these interior West African individuals who now live on the US diet of high sodium (3400-5000 mg/d)... Читать дальше...
To the Editor The authors of “APOL1-Mediated Kidney Disease” have provided an invaluable road map for identifying the link between the G1 and G2 APOL1 variants and high risk of “hypertension-attributed ESKD, lupus nephritis–attributed ESKD, FSGS, and HIV-associated nephropathy” in Black individuals. While the authors have identified the function of these gene variants as an immune response to trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness), there is a critical missing piece to this puzzle. The G1 and G2 APOL1 variants are also highly sodium retentive.
This review summarizes the epidemiology, clinical presentation, pathophysiology, and management of renal cell carcinoma.
With the aid of imagery, poetry locates us in a world more keenly perceived, akin to the way imaging studies in medicine can provide detailed, compelling pictures of our bodies. In work by the likes of Diane Wakoski of the “Deep Image” school of poets whose plainspoken images call up submerged associations from the depths of consciousness, to Craig Raine of the “Martian poetry” movement whose uncanny imagery depicts its subjects as if being freshly experienced from an alien perspective, we are able to see (and feel and taste and hear...

Aortic valve repair is usually done with open heart surgery and by opening the chest bone (sternotomy). Surgeons wire the bone back together after the procedure to prevent movement and aid in healing.
In Reply Mentorship in medical training is essential to supporting trainees’ development into skilled physicians. For students with disability, who navigate a medical learning environment that historically has not been designed to meet their needs, mentorship is particularly vital. The personal story shared by Dr Sisa highlights the profound impact mentorship can have on matriculation, promotion, and long-term career satisfaction. Sisa describes mentorship as a “successful strategy” and identifies... Читать дальше...
To the Editor Studying medicine and becoming a physician are complex tasks and are more difficult when done in a low- and middle-income country and when having a physical disability. Even in the United States, less than 1% of medical students have a disability, despite the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities. In their Research Letter, Ms Nguyen and colleagues suggested that future studies regarding applicants with disability may... Читать дальше...
