Results from a Geisel School of Medicine study investigating whether following a planetary health style diet during pregnancy affects preterm birth and babies’ size at birth are published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, “Adherence to the EAT-Lancet Planetary Health Diet during Pregnancy and Associations with Preterm Birth and Infant Size: a prospective analysis from the New Hampshire Birth Cohort.”
The Geisel School of Medicine’s Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Engagement (DICE) has been awarded a one-year grant to support the Alliance for Scholarship, Collaboration, Engagement, Networking, and Development (ASCEND), from Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, a pioneer in scientific breakthroughs dedicated to improving people’s lives.
January’s Medical Student Grand Rounds at DHMC, featured four Geisel School of Medicine students who shared a systematic review to determine whether hyperosmolar therapy targeting a specific serum sodium level improves neurological outcomes, examined whether elevated FGF23 is associated with changes in bone structure and function following kidney injury, and tested parameters of nanoscale architecture leading to the development of antifibrotic glaucoma drainage implants to reduce post operative fibrosis.
As generative AI rapidly transforms healthcare delivery and medical education, faculty need practical skills to guide students in using these new tools responsibly.
Divya Kaushal, MS MPH’26, alongside Julie Taylor, MD, MSc, associate dean for medical education, interim chair of community and family medicine and professor of medical education, Frances Lim-Liberty, MD, assistant professor of pediatrics and of medical education, and Deborah Hoffer, MD, assistant professor of pediatrics and of medical education, presented Geisel’s innovative longitudinal curriculum threads in Child Development, Health and Illness, Nutrition, and Health Equity at the Bright Start International Conference in London, England. The conference convened educators, early-childhood specialists, physicians, researchers and policymakers from around the world, fostering a dynamic atmosphere for interdisciplinary learning and collaboration.
A team of researchers, led by Lisa Marsch, PhD, at Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine, has received a four-year $13-million grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) to conduct the first-ever multisite clinical trial evaluating long-acting medication in the treatment of opioid use disorder among adolescents.
Despite contending with the season’s first snowstorm, members of the local, national, and international digital health community made a strong showing at the Fourth Annual Digital Health Summit on December 3. The event, held at Dartmouth College, was hosted by Geisel School of Medicine’s Center for Technology and Behavioral Health (CTBH).
During November’s Medical Student Grand Rounds at DHMC, Geisel students shared their research involving a patient with a chronic Stanford Type B aortic dissection, metastatic pattern and inflammation-related biomarkers as potential predictors of long-term survival in metastatic PDAC, and global GI care in Rwanda.
Early in her career as a physician-researcher focused on improving outcomes for adults struggling with addiction and mental health issues, internist Lynn Fiellin, MD, kept hearing the same comment from her patients: “If only I knew then (as a teenager) what I know now, I’d have made different choices.”
Researchers at Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine, in collaboration with investigators at the McGill University affiliated Douglas Research Center, Northwestern University, and Creare, LLC, have received a $6 million grant from the National Institute on Aging to study the relationship between auditory function and Alzheimer’s disease.
