Plyo-HIIT program targets healthier body composition in children

Traditional weight-loss strategies for children, from calorie restriction to general aerobic exercise, often carry an unwanted side effect: they cut fat, but they also erode muscle mass.

POET-II trial reduces antibiotic duration for infective endocarditis by two weeks

A response-tailored strategy reduced antibiotic duration by two weeks without compromising the safety of patients with left-sided infective endocarditis.

Major cardiac societies develop and publish a universal definition of myocardial infarction

When a myocardial infarction, such as a heart attack, occurs, being able to classify its type can improve diagnosis and treatment.

New international guidelines highlight the extensive benefits of cardiac rehabilitation

The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Guidelines on cardiac rehabilitation have been published online today in the European Heart Journal.

Review explores complex links between obesity and cardiovascular diseases

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Obesity, given its strong association with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), is a major global public health issue attracting increasing attention.

HRT linked to lower dementia risk, but timing and menopause type matter

In a UK Biobank study of 183,450 postmenopausal women followed for an average of 13.3 years, hormone replacement therapy use was associated with a modestly lower risk of dementia, with stronger associations in women who had surgical menopause or shorter natural estrogen exposure. The relationship also varied by age at HRT initiation, while the observational design means the findings cannot establish that HRT prevents dementia.

New injectable microgel system delivers precise radiation to keloids

Researchers in Korea are developing a new approach to localized brachytherapy that could improve the treatment of keloid scars.

Internet-controlled brain implant enables remote neural stimulation and drug delivery

A researcher in Chicago remotely controls a miniaturized brain implant in Daejeon, Korea - over the internet. Korean researchers have developed a wireless device that can deliver drugs and light to precisely modulate targeted neurons from anywhere in the world.

Real-world Chinese study confirms benefits of niraparib maintenance therapy for ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer remains one of the most lethal gynecologic malignancies worldwide, with a high risk of recurrence even after successful initial treatment.

GLP-1 drugs may reshape obesity care, but clinicians still have questions

Interviews with 11 healthcare professionals in a UK specialist weight management service found generally positive attitudes toward injectable GLP-1 drugs, alongside limited formal training and uncertainty about how the medications should be integrated with behavioral care. Participants anticipated potential benefits for confidence and weight management but also raised concerns about treatment discontinuation, behavioral engagement, and evolving professional responsibilities.

Scientists found a distinct gut microbiome pattern in people with symptomatic diverticular disease

A multicenter Japanese study found that symptomatic uncomplicated diverticular disease (SUDD) was associated with reduced gut microbial diversity, increased abundance of the Ruminococcus gnavus group, and depletion of Coprococcus and other butyrate-producing bacteria. Predictive microbiome analysis also identified enrichment of pathways linked to exopolysaccharide biosynthesis and the cell cycle, although the observational design means these associations cannot establish causality.

Tissue-mimicking scaffold may enable more durable rotator cuff repairs

Researchers have developed a "scaffold" that mimics natural tissue and could lead to more durable rotator cuff repairs, including for large injuries and cases involving bone and tissue degeneration that are often the most difficult to fix.

Study confirms benefits of robotic gastric cancer surgery

Surgery remains the primary curative treatment for gastric cancer, with laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) established as a standard minimally invasive approach.

Bone density after reverse shoulder arthroplasty declines over time

Driven by the potential advantages in bone stock preservation and easier implant removal during revision surgery, the use of cementless short-stem implants in shoulder arthroplasty has increased in recent years.

A two-year diet trial challenges the idea that weight loss is the only result that matters

In the two-year DELISH randomized trial, adults with obesity achieved modest, sustained weight loss with either an adapted Mediterranean-style program or a commercial weight loss program. The Mediterranean-style intervention produced greater improvements in self-reported diet quality, while 24-month weight loss did not materially differ between groups.

Only 15% of eligible American adults discuss lung cancer screening with their doctors

Lung cancer screenings can save lives by detecting cancer in its early stages, but only 15% of eligible American adults have discussed the screening with their doctors, according to data analysis performed by University of Cincinnati Cancer Center researchers.
