Workforce study documents needs of industry that employs 19,000 people here

ROCKFORD - A recent study by the American Heart Association (AHA) revealed that some patients tend to suffer memory loss following a heart attack. The study was actually six long-term studies that observed 31,000 people from 1971 to 2017. At the time they were enrolled, none of the people had yet had a heart attack or displayed any signs of dementia. The data showed that 1,047 participants, who were followed from five to 20 years and later had a heart attack, showed faster decline in memory, global cognition and executive function in the years after the heart attack compared to those in the study who hadn’t suffered a heart attack. According to the AHA, this is one of the first studies to look at how sudden cardiac events like heart attacks affect brain function over the short and long term. “With a heart attack the blood is not being properly pumped to the brain so there could be some damage," says Dr. Mirza Ali Khan, a family practice physician with OSF HealthCare.

GRANITE CITY – The beginning of a major housing transformation is occurring in a steel manufacturing town just 10 miles northeast of St. Louis. The third-largest city in Southern Illinois (population 27,549), Granite City is taking an entrepreneurial, homeowner incentives-based approach to revitalizing its housing stock, attracting investment, and bolstering pride in homeownership. Granite, as locals refer to it, is launching a pilot program to incentivize home buyers and investors to increase homeownership and community pride the historic neighborhoods of Lincoln Place, West Granite, and the downtown area. The city’s recipe for success? Pairing two respected economic development incentives – one that waives sales tax for major home improvements, with another that holds a homeowner’s property tax constant for 10 years, based upon the assessed value prior to when any of the home improvements have occurred. The result is a powerful homeowner-specific incentives

THE CONVERSATION - When the Human Genome Project announced that they had completed the first human genome in 2003, it was a momentous accomplishment - for the first time, the DNA blueprint of human life was unlocked. But it came with a catch - they weren’t actually able to put together all the genetic information in the genome. There were gaps: unfilled, often repetitive regions that were too confusing to piece together. With advancements in technology that could handle these repetitive sequences, scientists finally filled those gaps in May 2021 , and the first end-to-end human genome was officially published on Mar. 31, 2022 . I am a genome biologist who studies repetitive DNA sequences and how they shape genomes throughout evolutionary history. I was part of the team that helped characterize the repeat sequences missing from the genome. And now, with a truly complete human genome, these uncovered repetitive regions are finally being explored in full for the first time
