New pediatric consensus standardizes surgical management of Wilms tumor

WT outcomes have improved substantially through progress in molecular diagnosis, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery. Yet surgical management remains inconsistent, especially for large tumors, adjacent-organ invasion, intravascular extension, nephron-sparing surgery (NSS), and lymph node biopsy.

New study links cannabis use to increased cardiovascular risk

Cannabis use, including marijuana, appears to be linked with increased cardiovascular risk, especially for stroke, making it an important consideration for heart disease and stroke prevention and counseling, according to independent, new preliminary research to be presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2026.

Randomized trial demonstrates enhanced stent expansion in severely calcified coronary nodules

A randomized clinical trial at The Mount Sinai Hospital found that combining two techniques for removing calcium nodules-rotational atherectomy and intravascular lithotripsy (IVL)-before coronary stent placement allowed stents to expand more fully than IVL alone in patients with calcified coronary nodules.

Why you still want dessert even when you're completely full

A 2026 narrative review examines how food liking (pleasure) and wanting (motivation) interact with hunger and satiety to influence food choices, explaining why certain foods may remain appealing even after a satisfying meal. The authors report that food reward can change independently of hunger under specific conditions, but evidence remains limited that these changes reliably predict subsequent eating or improve weight-management outcomes.

Hemoadsorption may improve outcomes in severe poisoning cases

The WHO estimated over 800,000 suicide deaths in 2012, with poisoning a major concern. Three‑quarters of suicides occur in low‑ and middle‑income countries, with an estimated 30% related to pesticides.

Mount Sinai ranks third globally among the world's smartest hospitals

The Mount Sinai Hospital has been ranked No. 3 in the world on Newsweek's "World's Best Smart Hospitals" list, rising two places from No. 5 last year and maintaining its No. 1 ranking in New York State for the second consecutive year. Mount Sinai Morningside and Mount Sinai West ranked No. 7 in New York State on the same list.

Researchers uncover molecular pathway controlling bone resorption and tooth eruption

RUNX2 is best known as a master transcription factor of osteoblast differentiation. Mutations in, or haploinsufficiency of RUNX2 cause CCD, a skeletal disorder characterized by delayed permanent tooth eruption, supernumerary teeth and clavicular defects.

Incisionless brain procedure eliminates Parkinson's tremors for air force veteran

To the untrained eye, a "ham" radio may look like a simple device. However, inside its casing, dozens of delicate wires and tiny elements perform distinct yet connected functions to deliver messages to a vast network of operators around the world.

Multivitamins boost key vitamin levels, but do they improve your health?

A scoping review of 157 clinical trial reports found that multivitamins consistently improved circulating levels of folate, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12, while other nutritional and clinical effects varied by formulation, population, and baseline nutritional status. Selected prenatal and cognitive outcomes improved in some trials, but evidence for cardiovascular disease prevention was largely negative, and the review could not establish the overall certainty of clinical benefits.

Researchers find simple way to boost engineered T-cell therapies

Researchers at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a promising new strategy to make cancer-fighting immune cells stronger and potentially longer-lasting, a discovery that could help improve the effectiveness of immunotherapies that use a patient's own immune cells to attack cancer.

Understanding the mechanisms of multilineage coordination during craniofacial development

The human face is one of the most complex structures formed during embryonic development. Its formation requires different cell populations to produce bones, muscles, nerves, blood vessels, teeth, and glands, all arranged in the correct positions and connected to perform their functions.
