Netherlands: Midazolam sedation can noticeably restrict the natural adaptability of breathing, while s-ketamine largely preserves it, a recent randomized controlled pilot study published in PLOS ONE has shown. Researchers observed that midazolam significantly reduced the variability of both respiratory rate and tidal volume, resulting in a more uniform breathing pattern that may raise the risk […]
China: Researchers have found in new research that lower hemoglobin glycation index (HGI) values are associated with increased short- and long-term mortality among critically ill patients. Hemoglobin glycation index may be a useful prognostic biomarker for risk stratification in intensive care unit (ICU) settings. The study, led by Benji Wang from the Department of Anesthesiology, […]
A new international study presented today at the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Congress 2025 reveals that adults with atopic eczema (AE) are significantly more likely to experience suicidal thoughts, with researchers uncovering the key factors driving this elevated risk. As one of the largest global investigations to examine the link between AE […]
A new study published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine found that the combination of elexacaftor, tezacaftor, and ivacaftor significantly improved blood glucose regulation in cystic fibrosis patients with abnormal glucose tolerance. Over 48 weeks, patients showed reductions in 2-hour blood glucose and A1C levels, with no safety concerns. Multiple organs are […]
USA: A Mayo Clinic investigation has revealed that diabetes is the strongest predictor of non-alcoholic steatotic liver disease (SLD) in adults who are not overweight. The research shows that lean individuals with SLD share metabolic and genetic traits that fall between those of healthy lean people and patients with obesity-related SLD, highlighting the need for […]
New Delhi: The Supreme Court has expressed concerns about reserving seats for transgender candidates in the upcoming NEET-PG 2025 admissions, saying it could create uncertainty in the process. During the hearing, Chief Justice B.R. Gavai and Justice K Vinodchandran remarked, “We cannot keep seats everywhere in limbo, you are saying two seats in the All […]
Imphal: The worsening flash flood situation in Manipur has led to the emergency evacuation of patients from the state’s premier government hospital, Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Medical Sciences (JNIMS) in Imphal. The unprecedented rise in water levels within and around the hospital complex prompted authorities to issue an immediate evacuation order for all inpatients. Also […]
India: A new study published in the Archives of Public Health sheds light on the growing burden of chronic lung diseases—Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)—among India’s middle-aged and elderly populations. Conducted by Aditi Chakraborty and colleagues from the Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, International Institute for Population Sciences, Mumbai, the study reveals how […]
Integrating extra-uterine placental transfusion (EUPT) and intact-cord stabilization (ICS) during cesarean sections (CS) poses significant advantages for both term and preterm infants, facilitating smoother physiological transitions to extra-uterine life. Recent Research identified a critical need for delayed cord clamping (DCC), as it has been linked to reductions in intraventricular hemorrhage, anemia, and neurodevelopmental deficits in […]
Poland: A recent prospective study published in the International Journal of Colorectal Disease has revealed that using PET/MRI instead of conventional imaging can substantially improve the diagnosis, treatment planning, and overall outcomes for patients with rectal cancer. The research shows that this hybrid imaging method provides superior accuracy in detecting lymph node involvement and tumor […]
