Genetic variants enriched in individuals of African ancestry confer increased risk of cardiomyopathy and arrhythmias, with cardiovascular risk factors amplifying this risk. Large biobank studies enable reclassification of key variants and h
This review synthesizes evidence comparing carbon footprints of VR, online, and alternative distance education in professional medical training, highlighting substantial CO2 emission reductions with digital modalities.
Fecal calprotectin offers a non-invasive, dynamic biomarker to predict, diagnose, and monitor GI-GVHD post-allo-HSCT, correlating with endoscopic severity and treatment response, but requires integrated clinical interpretation due to limite
This review synthesizes current evidence on lung cancer surgical quality improvement, highlighting the impactful American College of Surgeons Lung NODES Collaborative’s success in improving lymph node sampling compliance and broader a
This review synthesizes evidence on the long-term survival, excess mortality, and health-related quality of life in patients after chronic subdural hematoma surgery, emphasizing sustained mortality risks and cognitive-physical deficits up t
An evidence-based review of the 7-year durability of transcatheter versus surgical aortic bioprosthetic valves in low-risk severe aortic stenosis patients, highlighting comparable long-term structural performance and need for reintervention
This review synthesizes evidence on the prevalence, incidence, and prognosis of cancer and heart failure comorbidity in Scotland, integrating recent cohort data and cardio-oncology research to inform clinical practice and future research di
Recent heart-transplant studies show donor-derived cell-free DNA not only detects rejection but also predicts mortality and persistent graft dysfunction, especially when elevated at diagnosis. Evidence supports a shift from binary surveilla
The PARTNER 2A 10-year data show higher mortality and reintervention with balloon-expandable SAPIEN XT TAVR versus surgery in intermediate-risk patients, driven mainly by transthoracic access. Contemporary 10-year SAPIEN 3 data, however, su
A 2026 PLOS One superiority trial found that internet-based vestibular rehabilitation was not superior to structured written instructions after acute vertigo. The result is clinically useful because the comparator was active, adherence was
Intensive oseltamivir chemoprophylaxis for ≥70% of nursing home residents within 2 days of influenza outbreak reduces hospitalization risk, underscoring prompt antiviral intervention as a critical outbreak control strategy.
This review synthesizes evidence on SIPE lateralization corresponding to dependent body position during combat sidestroke, highlighting moderate concordance between lung ultrasound and chest x-ray findings and implications for field diagnos
This review synthesizes evidence comparing rotational chair therapy and manual maneuvers in uncomplicated BPPV, highlighting comparable efficacy, quality-of-life improvements, and patient-specific considerations for recurrence and treatment
A 2026 European Heart Journal study identifies macrophage circHIPK2 as a regulator of post-MI inflammation and fibrosis, integrating circular RNA biology with macrophage polarization, stress-granule signaling, and emerging immune-targeted R
A 2026 Circulation study identifies OR2L13 agonism as a first-in-class platelet inhibitory strategy that suppresses aggregation and arterial thrombosis through HSP27-dependent actin remodeling without an apparent hemostatic penalty in precl
A new ex vivo human myometrium study suggests that lower-dose nifedipine-based combinations may produce synergistic tocolysis, supporting a translational path toward safer short-term suppression of preterm labor.
This clinical update reviews a new randomized crossover trial and prior literature showing that high-intensity interval exercise can attenuate glucose decline and late hypoglycaemia in adults with type 1 diabetes, particularly when performe
REIMAGINE 1 shows that once-weekly CagriSema significantly reduced HbA1c and bodyweight versus placebo in early type 2 diabetes, with mainly gastrointestinal adverse events and a mechanistically compelling incretin–amylin profile.
The 2024 ESC-endorsed RF-CL model improves estimation of obstructive CAD probability in symptomatic patients, safely reducing unnecessary testing, but symptom ambiguity, qualitative upper ranges, and limited capture of ischemia without obst
A major 2026 cluster randomized trial shows that palliative care delivered by trained hepatologists is noninferior to specialist palliative care for improving quality of life in end-stage liver disease, supporting scalable integrated models
