FAU Study Finds Where a Child Lives – Not Just Diet – Raises Type 2 Diabetes Risk
Oct. 21, 2025 – Type 2 diabetes (T2D), once considered an adult-onset disease, is increasing at alarming rates in children and adolescents. Before the mid-1990s, just 1% to 2% of youth with diabetes had T2D. Today, that number has skyrocketed to between 24% and 45%, with the average age of diagnosis hovering around 13 years old.
This troubling trend closely tracks with the ongoing rise in childhood obesity. While genetics, diet and physical activity all play roles in T2D risk, new research from Florida Atlantic University’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine highlights another key factor in T2D risk: where a child lives.
Researchers conducted a large-scale study to explore how T2D is emerging in the youngest children. Using data from the National Survey of Children’s Health spanning 2016 to 2020, the team focused on a subgroup of children from birth to age 5 – a rarely studied demographic in T2D research.

FAU Historian Traces the Transformation of U.S. Nursing Homes into Big Business
October 22, 2025 – In postwar America, as suburbs spread and federal social welfare programs expanded, one underexamined building type quietly became a fixture of the American health care landscape: the nursing home.
In a new article published in the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians, historian Willa Granger, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the School of Architecture within Florida Atlantic University’s Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, examines how a little-known company from midcentury Illinois helped lay the groundwork for the modern nursing home industry in the United States.
Granger’s research centers on the Americana Corporation, a for-profit eldercare chain that pioneered a replicable model of suburban, hospital-adjacent nursing homes during the 1960s – ultimately reshaping not only how older adults are cared for, but where and by whom.

When a Nurse Becomes the Patient
October 20, 2025 – Nell Trimble, RN, has been a neonatal nurse and lactation consultant at Broward Health Medical Center for more than 20 years. A natural healer, she especially loves caring for new mothers and newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Less than a year ago, the tables were turned when Trimble was diagnosed with invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC), a lesser-known form of breast cancer that is on the rise, according to the American Cancer Society. ILC is a unique breast cancer subtype that is more difficult to diagnose as tumors grow in a flat, sheet-like linear pattern, rather than what is typically a lump or cyst.
A resident of Coral Springs, 67-year-old Trimble is no stranger to cancer. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer more than 12 years ago and underwent surgery and chemotherapy treatments at Broward Health Imperial Point.

October 21, 2025 – HCA Healthcare, Inc.

HCA Florida Ocala Hospital trauma team to provide ‘Stop the Bleed’ training to school officials
To help save lives, the HCA Florida Ocala Hospital trauma team will teach lifesaving STOP THE BLEED® training to 75 Marion County Public Schools officials.
School officials training with tourniquets on dummy limbs.
OCTOBER 21, 2025- This month, HCA Florida Ocala Hospital and HCA Florida West Marion Hospital will provide lifesaving STOP THE BLEED® training to 75 officials with Marion County Public Schools.
Uncontrolled bleeding from a traumatic injury is the primary cause of preventable death for people of all ages, according to the American College of Surgeons. Learning how to stabilize and treat a bleeding victim could help save a life.
“Depending on the severity of the wound, someone who suffers an injury causing uncontrolled bleeding can die within three to five minutes. Meanwhile, the national average for emergency medical response is seven to 10 minutes. That means bystanders often are the only ones available to provide aid immediately after a traumatic injury,” noted Dr. Richard Petrik, interim chief medical officer for HCA Florida Ocala Hospital and HCA Florida West Marion Hospital. “People who are properly trained in the techniques of STOP THE BLEED can render critical, lifesaving assistance that gives these victims a fighting chance until first responders arrive.”

Anita Chen, M.D. Breast cancer survivors find relief for debilitating menopause symptom
OCTOBER 22, 2025 – JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — About 50% of menopausal women experience genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) that involves changes to the genitals, including the vagina, urethra and bladder. When estrogen levels drop during menopause, it can cause the GSM symptoms of vaginal dryness, itching, burning, frequent urinary tract infections and pain during sex. Replenishing the hormone through vaginal estrogen is an effective GSM treatment. But many breast cancer survivors either can’t or don’t want to use estrogen.
More than 4 million people in the U.S. are breast cancer survivors. GSM affects up to 70% of these survivors. Medications that stop the body from producing estrogen can prevent or stop the spread of breast cancer. However, these antiestrogen therapies, called aromatase inhibitors, also can exacerbate GSM symptoms.
“Our data shows that as many as 20% of breast cancer survivors on aromatase inhibitors will stop taking their medication prematurely because they cause severe GSM symptoms. This early discontinuation of their breast cancer therapy can lead to worse outcomes in breast cancer survivorship. So, clearly, nonhormonal treatment options for GSM are needed,” says Anita Chen, M.D., a gynecologist at Mayo Clinic in Florida. Dr. Chen is the lead author of a study published in Obstetrics & Gynecology.
