According to a new study published in JAMA ,calprotectin may serve as a mechanistically informed biomarker for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), independent of established risk factors and biomarkers. However its clinical utility requires further investigation. This study was conducted by Yu Zuo and fellow researchers. Calprotectin, a marker of neutrophil activation, has been recognized to […]
Patients suffering from long COVID may exhibit persistent inflammation in the heart and lungs for up to a year following SARS-CoV-2 infection-even when standard medical tests return normal results-potentially placing them at elevated risk for future cardiac and pulmonary conditions. These findings come from a new study conducted by researchers at the Icahn School of […]
Researchers have discovered in an ongoing phase IIb trial that a single intravitreal injection of UBX1325 (foselutoclax), a novel senolytic agent, demonstrated a tolerable safety profile and showed signs of potential efficacy in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) who had inadequate response to anti-VEGF treatments. The results of the ongoing phase IIb trial comparing […]
A single blood test, designed to pick up chemical signals indicative of the presence of many different types of cancer, could potentially thwart progression to advanced disease while the malignancy is still at an early stage and amenable to treatment in up to half of cases, suggests a modelling study published in the open access […]
Presented at ESTRO 2025, which gathered a record attendance of 7,908 participants this week in Vienna, Austria, a 10-year study, involving over 4,000 UK patients, confirms that a one-week course of post-surgery radiotherapy is just as safe and effective as the traditional three-week regimen for early-stage breast cancer patients. These long-term results from the FAST-Forward […]
Turkiye: New research shows that individuals with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) have significantly higher rates of astigmatism, dry eye disease (DED), and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) compared to those without the condition, highlighting the need for regular anterior eye assessments in this population. Published in Rheumatology International, the cross-sectional study explored the potential link between FMS […]
Recently published study explores the efficacy and safety of Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES) as a minimally invasive technique for treating tubal ectopic pregnancies. Tubal ectopic pregnancy poses significant maternal health risks and is traditionally managed through laparoscopic surgery. Retrospective studies indicate that vNOTES may offer advantages over alternative laparoscopic methods, such as […]
Researchers have found in a new study published in Laryngoscope that effective treatment of upper airway atopic diseases greatly enhances middle ear function by decreasing the necessity for pressure equalization tube (PET) insertion. The study used data from the TriNetX Research Network demonstrated that both medical and surgical treatments for asthma, allergic rhinitis, and chronic […]
Scientists have identified five specific blood proteins that can accurately predict a person’s risk for developing a serious form of liver disease as early as 16 years before they experience symptoms, enabling early intervention and possible prevention and treatment, according to a study to be presented at Digestive Disease Week® (DDW) 2025. The findings address […]
