Researchers have indicated that early rhythm control (ERC) therapy significantly influences reducing the risk of ischemic stroke in cancer survivors with atrial fibrillation (AF), yielding strong evidence in favor of an intensive rhythm management approach in such at-risk patients. The study was published in the Journal of the American Heart Association by Seokmoon Han and […]
Researchers have found in a new retrospective cohort study that vitamin D supplementation led to significant improvements in recognition memory, overall cognitive function, and systolic blood pressure in older adults with hypertension and mild cognitive deficits. These results suggest potential clinical benefits of addressing vitamin D insufficiency in this population and support the need for […]
Right ventricular (RV) strain by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been reported to yield robust prognostic data among patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). A recent study published in Radiology by Leyi Zhu and colleagues. Such evidence underlies the inclusion of RV strain analysis within cardiac risk stratification in HFpEF patients […]
Digital inhalers may help predict impending acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), according to a new study. The study is published in the May 2025 issue of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases: Journal of the COPD Foundation, a peer-reviewed, open-access journal.

According to a recent meta-analysis published in eClinicalMedicine, antibiotic use during pregnancy or in early childhood significantly increases the risk of developing atopic dermatitis (AD) in children. The study analyzed 39 cohort studies involving pregnant women and children under 5, highlighting a strong association between early antibiotic exposure and this chronic inflammatory skin condition. The […]
Researchers have found in a new study that pre-operative ultrasound showing isolated common bile duct (CBD) dilation does not increase the risk of choledocholithiasis (CD) compared to normal CBD diameter. Therefore, such findings should not influence the decision to perform an intraoperative cholangiogram during cholecystectomy. The study was published in the American Journal of Surgery […]
Fetuses more exposed to certain air pollutants show changes in the size of specific brain structures, particularly during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.

USA: A large cohort study published in JAMA Internal Medicine has revealed that adults with alcohol-associated forms of steatotic liver disease face significantly higher risks of liver complications and mortality compared to those with metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The study, led by Dr. Pedro Ochoa-Allemant and colleagues from the University of Pennsylvania, sheds light […]
Researchers have found in a new research that Aloe vera solution can serve as an effective alternative pre-treatment before cementing fiberglass posts using conventional dual-cure resin cement in endodontically treated dentin. This study evaluated the effects of mechanical agitation of Aloe vera Barbadensis Miller solution at different concentrations using passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI), XP Endo […]
