In this study, the researchers tested five iron fertilizers to determine which was most effective at increasing iron levels in radish and pea microgreens. Pea plant early shoots are shown here. Credit: Penn State Microgreens are nutritional powerhouses. A team of plant scientists at Penn State conducting research on multiple aspects of microgreens recently published three studies reporting progress on multiple fronts, including iron enrichment, productive indoor growth and a faux lightning technique that could improve microgreens' growth, yield and nutritional quality.

New | The Canadian Press | Posted: October 22, 2026 8:46 PM | Last Updated: Just nowOwner and a veterinarian were exposed to the cat's rabies and treatedImage | RacoonCaption: Quebec has run multiple wildlife rabies vaccination programs over the years, greatly reducing the number of annual cases in the past. (CBC)Another cat has been infected with raccoon rabies in Quebec, marking the third confirmed case in a cat this year. The infection was detected on Sept. 25 in the town of Saint-Denis-sur-Richelieu, in the Montérégie region. The province says the owner and a veterinarian were exposed to the cat's rabies and treated. The government's latest numbers show 313 confirmed cases of raccoon rabies in Quebec this year. Officials previously reported two cases in cats in late June. The government has run multiple vaccination programs, including vaccine bait distribution and "trap-vaccinate-release" operations.

A new study of more than one million births led by McMaster University researchers has found that gaining too much weight during pregnancy, regardless of a person's starting weight, is linked to a higher risk of life-threatening maternal complications. Current pregnancy weight-gain recommendations were developed primarily to improve outcomes for babies, such as healthy birth weight and reducing the risk of preterm birth. The study, published in JAMA Network Open on Oct. 22, 2026, suggests the recommendations should also be evaluated through the lens of maternal health, including the risk of life-threatening complications such as bleeding, pre-eclampsia and ICU admission during childbirth.

Beginning survivorship care for head and neck cancer patients earlier is linked to better survival and lower recurrence, according to a new University of Pittsburgh study published today in JAMA Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery. The study found that patients who participated in a multidisciplinary survivorship clinic before or early in radiotherapy had better outcomes than patients who participated after treatment. The study is among the first to show that timing of survivorship care is associated with patient outcomes, and unlike many factors in cancer care, it can be modified relatively easily.
