Polymer drug-eluting and polymer-free drug-coated stents safe and effective for patients with high bleeding risk

The first randomized trial to compare a durable polymer drug-eluting stent to a polymer-free drug-coated stent in patients at high risk of bleeding and treated with one-month dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) found that both are clinically safe and effective.

IDEAL LM study: Biodegradable polymer everolimus-eluting stent safe and effective for patients undergoing PCI

New data from the IDEAL-LM trial found that a biodegradable polymer everolimus-eluting stent (BP-EES) followed by four months of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) was safe and effective compared to a conventional durable polymer everolimus-eluting stent (DP-EES) followed by 12 months of DAPT in patients undergoing PCI for unprotected left main coronary artery (uLMCA) disease.

Ticagrelor monotherapy reduces bleeding while preserving ischemic benefit in high-risk PCI patients

New data from the randomized, placebo-controlled TWILIGHT trial found that compared to ticagrelor plus aspirin, ticagrelor monotherapy reduces bleeding events without increasing the risk of death, myocardial infarction, or stroke in high-risk patients who have undergone successful percutaneous coronary intervention and completed three months of dual antiplatelet therapy.

Research reveals why viruses will need to be reclassified and its biotech impact

New research reveals that the way viruses were perceived in terms of their architecture will need to be retooled, because they are actually structured in many more patterns than previously understood.

Shorter duration DAPT after PCI did not increase adverse events in high-bleeding risk patients, finds study

Data from the EVOLVE Short DAPT study found that shortened three-month dual antiplatelet therapy did not increase myocardial infarction or stent thrombosis in high bleeding risk patients treated with a contemporary drug-eluting stent.

Duration and timing of sleep differ by age, geographical region and gender

In an exceptionally extensive worldwide study on sleep, nearly a quarter of a million nights of sleep were measured among sleepers ranging between 16 and 30 years of age.

Biological clock responds positively to stress

In a recent study, researchers found that the integrated stress response (ISR) is essential to stimulate the circadian clock.

Better methods needed to identify people at risk for liver disease

While blood samples can reliably identify people with a low risk of developing severe liver disease, better methods are needed in primary care for identifying people in most need of care.

New method can improve precision medicine, safety of drug-delivery devices

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed an optical system that accurately measures the flow of extraordinarily tiny amounts of liquids -- as small as 10 billionths of a liter (nanoliters) per minute.

New study on gene modulation may help prevent blindness

Genes borrowed from a spider turned Peter Parker into Spiderman. If scientists can use archaea--tiny organisms similar to bacteria--as a source of useful genes for humans, might it help prevent blindness one day?

DNA sequencing helps confirm breast cancer link between Leicester sisters

Two Leicester sisters who had their entire genomes sequenced in the hope of finding answers to their family history of breast cancer have learnt they both carry a genetic variant that significantly increases their risk of developing the disease.
