AANA Applauds Minneapolis Veteran Affairs Medical Center's Decision to Allow CRNAs to Practice to the Top of their Training
ROSEMONT, Ill., Aug. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology (AANA) applauds and supports the Minneapolis Veteran Affairs Medical Center's (VAMC) recent decision to adopt a proven, patient-focused anesthesia care model that will ensure that veterans continue to receive the care they deserve. Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists consistently demonstrate their safety, competence and expertise in providing anesthesia services. As advanced practice registered nurses, CRNAs work autonomously within surgical teams in the Army, Navy, Air Force, the Indian Health Service, and in countless facilities across the country, delivering high-quality anesthesia care to nation's veterans and other populations with complex needs. "Decades of peer-reviewed research have proven that CRNA provided anesthesia is just as safe as anesthesia provided by anesthesiologists," stated former AANA president Jan Setnor, MSN, CRNA, Col. (Ret), USAFR, NC. "The decision by the Minneapolis VAMC will protect access to care for veterans at a time when the VA is seeing rapidly increasing shortages of physician anesthesiologists, which have led to delays and cancelations of essential procedures for veterans." The recent VA Office of Inspector General report shows a 38% increase in facilities that cite a severe shortage of anesthesiologists. VA's continued use of inefficient anesthesia models is no longer tenable, and the decision by the Minneapolis VAMC is the right one for veterans who deserve anesthesia care without delay. AANA and our members are proud to serve our nation's veterans by providing an outstanding level of care.

Breastfeeding Reduces Risk of Early Puberty
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Kids who are exclusively breast-fed as infants are less likely to experience early puberty. This is the conclusion of South Korean researchers who studied the development and infant diets of more than 300,000 children. The team found that breastfeeding during the first four–six months of life was linked with a lower risk of so-called "central precocious puberty" (CPP) in both boys and girls. This association was partially mediated by differences in body weight throughout childhood, with childhood obesity linked to early pubertal onset. While it can lead to an early growth sport compared to other children, adults who went through early puberty tend to be shorter on average. CPP has also been linked to an increased risk of anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. Early puberty has also been associated with an increased risk of substance abuse, eating disorders and having sex at an early age. In women, early puberty is also known to increase the risk of breast cancer as adults. CPP has been on the rise globally, a trend that doctors Lin Yang and Shengxu Li—who were not involved in the study, but authored an accompanying comment paper—say is "particularly concerning given the growing prevalence of childhood obesity." The findings, the researchers note, add to the growing body of evidence highlighting the critical role of early-life nutrition in long-term health. A woman breastfeeds her newborn baby. A woman breastfeeds her newborn this nationwide, retrospective study, researchers compared the incidence of early puberty among children who were exclusively breastfed, formula-fed or mixed-fed during their first four to six months of life. Compared to exclusively breastfed children, formula-fed children had the greatest risk of CPP in boys and girls, followed by mixed-fed boys and girls. In their commentary paper, Yang and Li noted that the findings "contradict prior claims that breastfeeding is unrelated to the timing of pubertal onset in non-Western settings." They explained that the study's findings "suggest a potential developmental pathway through which infant feeding may influence early weight gain and the subsequent pubertal timing." However, they also acknowledged that the source of these associations remains uncertain, and that it is not yet clear whether excess body fat directly contributes to the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis—a hormonal pathway that regulates reproduction and development—or regulates upstream signals like the hypothalamic kisspeptin system, responsible for regulating the onset of puberty. The duo highlighted the study's importance in filling a research gap on puberty timing in boys. They noted: "Boys who were exclusively formula-fed had a 16 percent increased risk of CPP compared with those who were exclusively breastfed, and [excess body fat] mediated this association in a pattern similar to that observed in girls." The experts pointed out that this increase in CPP risk observed in boys contrasts with the 60 percent increase observed in girls—which might help explain the lack of similar reports on puberty timing in boys. Ultimately, the study's findings support the view that breastfeeding during early infancy may help protect against CPP in both sexes. As Yang and Li concluded: "Disease starts early, so should its prevention." Do you have a tip on a health story that Newsweek should be covering? Do you have a question about CPP?

Early Warning Sign for Aggressive Cancers Discovered
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A protein found in our cells could act as an early warning sign for aggressive cancers—and a new target for drugs to stop them spreading. This is the discovery of scientists from Brunel University of London, who have shown for the first time that a protein that helps a cell prepare to divide can also trigger metastasis. High levels of 'SAS-6' makes cells grow more and longer cilia—tiny antennae that sense their surroundings. These cilia activate a pathway known as YAP/TAZ, which controls genes that help tumors grow and spread to other parts of the body, the researchers explained. The SAS-6 protein plays a role in building tiny hair-like structures on the cell's surface, which can then activate signals that make cancer cells more aggressive.

Illustration representing lungs and cancer spread inside body. wildpixel/Getty Images "Our data uncover a novel role for the centriolar protein SAS-6 in ciliogenesis [the building of the cell's antennae], YAP activation and cancer cell invasion," said Brunel biomedical scientist Barbara Tanos in a statement. "The main cause of death in cancer patients is metastatic disease, which happens when cancer cells invade tissues far away from the main tumor [spreading to another part of the body]," Dr Tanos explained. "We found that cells with increased SAS-6 levels became more invasive and that this invasion was reverted by removing cilia." The team investigated what happens when cells produce a version of SAS-6 that does not break down. They found the cells not only grew longer cilia but moved more and noticeably changed shape, becoming flatter and more flexible—all signs of an invasive cell. When the scientists blocked the YAP pathway or removed the cilia, however, the cancer invasion "reduced to almost negligible levels". They then found the same pattern in a real lung cancer cell line, which has high levels of SAS-6. Removing the protein in this patient-derived cell line stopped the cancer's ability to spread. Because several human cancers have unusually high levels of SAS-6, it could potentially be used as a marker for metastatic cancer, the scientists said. Research suggests these SAS-6-associated cancers include lung adenocarcinoma, colorectal cancer and breast cancer, among others. Lung adenocarcinoma (a type of non-small cell lung cancer), for example, is the most common type of lung cancer in the U.S., accounting for 45 percent of all lung cancer cases in 2021, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Understanding how SAS-6 and cilia drive cancer cell invasion could also help design novel therapies based on cilia specific signaling pathways, the researchers explained. "We think this gives us a new way to understand how cellular signals control cancer spread," said Tanos. "It could lead to smarter therapies and better ways to predict which cancers will turn aggressive." Newsweek has reached out to the researchers for comment.
