Parent-Training Approach Shows Promise in Decreasing ADHD Behaviors in Children A study led by UArizona Health Sciences researcher Velia Leybas Nuño found ADHD behaviors in children were significantly reduced when parents used the Nurtured Heart Approach to parenting.

The Nurtured Heart Approach, a family-centered approach for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children, showed positive results in reducing behaviors such as inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity, according to a recent University of Arizona Health Sciences-led study.
In the United States, diagnoses of the disorder, known as ADHD, in children have increased dramatically in recent decades, affecting 6-7% of children and adolescents. One of the most common mental disorders affecting children, ADHD is often treated with medication, especially stimulants that help to modulate dopamine and norepin
University of Arizona involved in study of female firefightersâ health risks Female firefighter Lily Pesqueira, 1-7-2021 (Source: Kris Hanning) By Shelby Trahan | February 26, 2021 at 10:00 AM MST - Updated March 1 at 5:30 AM
TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - A $1.5 million Health Sciences grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency will support research to examine how being a firefighter affects womenâs stress levels, as well as their risk of cancer and reproductive health issues.
According to a University of Arizona article, the three-year study will recruit 200 women, half will be current firefighters and the other half will be new recruits. The study will compare the stress levels and other health markers between the two groups.
Researchers at the University of Arizona Health Sciences are undertaking a study to better understand the potential enviromental and occupational health risks specific to women in the fire service.

Researchers at the University of Arizona Health Sciences are undertaking a study to better understand the potential enviromental and occupational health risks specific to women in the fire service.
Funded by a $1.5 million grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the study will examine how being a firefighter affects women s stress levels, as well as their risk of cancer and reproductive toxicity, or adverse reproductive health outcomes.

A fourth of previously treated cholangiocarcinomas (CCA) responded to a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) targeting the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) family, a phase II open-label study showed.
Confirmed objective responses occurred in 25 of 108 patients treated with infigratinib. Including unconfirmed responses increased the response rate to 34.2%. More than 80% of patients obtained disease control with FGFR inhibitor. Patients who had received no more than one prior systemic therapy responded better, but median progression-free survival (PFS, 7.3-7.4 months) was similar across prior lines of treatment.
Mechanism-based adverse events (AEs) predominated in the safety profile, notably hypophosphatemia and eye disorders, reported Milind Javle, MD, of the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, at the Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium virtual meeting.
