Non-invasive urine test using vimentin and POU4F2 methylation biomarkers shows high diagnostic accuracy for bladder carcinoma.
A pooled analysis of five randomized trials found extracorporeal shock wave therapy increased complete healing rates in chronic diabetic foot ulcers when added to standard care. In separate findings, a review of 155 studies linked viral infections including influenza, COVID-19, HIV and shingles with elevated risks of cardiovascular disease and stroke.
Platelets play a pro-inflammatory role in nMG, with activation markers and immune interactions correlating with disease severity.
A study found stress cardiac MRI identified microvascular angina in patients with chest pain whose coronary angiograms showed no blocked arteries. In separate findings, cystatin C testing identified outpatients at higher risk of death, cardiovascular events and kidney failure when results differed substantially from creatinine-based estimates.
A study in patients with diabetes undergoing coronary artery stenting found lower rates of heart attack, stroke, bleeding complications or death with prasugrel than with ticagrelor. In separate findings, an analysis found general anesthesia was associated with neonatal outcomes comparable to regional anesthesia for cesarean sections.
A global analysis found the prevalence of hypertension in children and adolescents increased from 3.2% in 2000 to more than 6.2% in 2020, with higher rates among those with obesity. In separate findings, researchers examined the match between the 2025-2026 flu vaccine and a dominant influenza strain and tested a bone-targeted estradiol delivery approach in mice.
Researchers identified a role for microRNA-126 in preventing nerve cell damage in ALS and restored nerve regeneration in laboratory and mouse studies. In separate findings, a legally blind patient received a 3D-printed cornea made from human eye cells in an early-stage trial.
A study found persistent maternal hypothyroidism before and throughout pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of autism spectrum disorder in offspring. In separate findings, researchers examined pregnancy outcomes after discontinuing GLP-1 drugs and tested an mRNA approach to protect muscle tissue from snake venom.
