Promising AI tool to speed up endometriosis diagnosis

Less than a second. That’s how long it takes for an emerging AI tool to detect signs of endometriosis through one simple scan. It’s a much faster process than the current seven-year wait for surgery and less invasive.

Biological mechanisms validate structured exercise as therapeutic in oncology care

Structured exercise may help people with cancer live longer and have more time free of disease, finds a synthesis of the available evidence, published online in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

Breast cancer AI test finds no single chatbot excels across every measure

Researchers compared five large language models on breast cancer health information using 90 knowledge questions, 10 clinical cases, and 20 common patient concerns, with all prompts submitted in simplified Chinese. The models performed strongly on standardized knowledge overall, but differed in linguistic complexity and expert-rated completeness, readability, helpfulness, correctness, and safety.

Prediabetes linked to substantial burden of mental health conditions

Announcing a new article publication for BIO Integration. Prediabetes has a high prevalence worldwide; however, the prevalence of mental health conditions within the population with prediabetes is not well understood.

Women use creatine differently from men, survey reveals

A cross-sectional survey of 2,094 current or recent creatine users found that women were more concentrated in shorter-duration use groups than men and reported different supplementation goals, information sources, and knowledge patterns. Women were less likely to cite athletic performance and more likely to cite healthy aging as a goal, while researchers cautioned that the survey design cannot explain why these differences exist.

Five minutes of coffee aroma was linked to shifts in mood and brain activity

Short-term coffee aroma exposure was followed by reductions in several negative mood measures and an increase in an EEG-derived relaxation index in 20 healthy young adults. Heart rate and HRV did not change significantly, and the uncontrolled study cannot establish that coffee aroma caused the observed responses.

Laser-carved microvalves prevent hazardous backflow in medical microcatheters

A single cough, deep breath, or shift in posture can turn life-saving medical microcatheters into hazardous two-way streets.

A common drink pattern was linked to less sleep and more fatigue in soldiers

A cross-sectional study of 1,155 active-duty Spanish Army personnel identified three distinct co-consumption profiles based on the frequency of caffeinated beverage, energy drink, and sugar-sweetened beverage use. Compared with the lower-frequency profile, the higher-frequency profile was associated with about 14 minutes less sleep per night, lower sleep efficiency, and greater habitual physical fatigue, although the study cannot establish causality or quantify caffeine or sugar exposure.

Patients' responses to oncologists can help predict survival in chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Patients' responses to questions routinely raised by oncologists may provide important clues about their chances of survival from chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), according to a new study published in the journal Therapeutic Advances in Hematology.

Yoga with a cognitive twist showed some intriguing benefits in older adults

A 24-week pilot randomized trial found that both traditional Hatha yoga and a faster, cognitively demanding YogaCue program were associated with improvements in cognitive and physical performance in independently living older adults. YogaCue showed promising additional gains in verbal and episodic memory, aerobic fitness, and lower-body power, although the small study could not establish clear superiority over Hatha yoga across all outcomes.

Shared biological pathways may explain chronic fatigue across diseases

A shared biological secret that helps explain chronic exhaustion in conditions including long Covid and PTSD has been discovered by researchers at the University of East Anglia and Oxford BioDynamics.

PCORI funding awarded to study symptom management for rare cholestatic liver diseases

The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) has announced a $13 million funding award to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill over five years to study innovative symptom management interventions for patients with rare cholestatic liver diseases.

Transcatheter tricuspid valve repair lowers mortality and hospitalizations in high-risk patients

Transcatheter tricuspid valve repair significantly improved clinical outcomes in high-risk patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation, according to results presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2026 and published simultaneously in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Breast cancer survivors could avoid lifelong heart medication, research suggests

Many breast cancer survivors whose treatment caused them to develop problems with their heart function can safely stop their medication after their heart recovers and most won't need to continue treatment long-term, according to a study funded by the British Heart Foundation and presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in Munich.

Researchers identify early molecular warning signs of inflammatory bowel disease

Researchers have uncovered early molecular warning signs of inflammatory bowel disease, revealing the condition can begin before symptoms appear and continue silently even when patients appear well.

Researchers tested dozens of clues for long COVID. One finding stood out

A nationwide study of 218 people in the Faroe Islands examined clinical, neurological, and blood-based markers associated with persistent symptoms around six months after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Despite extensive testing, researchers found no convincing biomarker for long COVID, while a statistical association with lower INR remained within the normal clinical range and requires replication.

Can caffeine make you mentally sharper in the morning? This study tested the idea

In a controlled crossover study of 51 recreationally active young men with low habitual caffeine intake, researchers tested whether 300 mg of caffeine taken about an hour before morning testing affected cognition, mood, temperature, appetite, and related outcomes, with reactive agility assessed in 27 participants. Caffeine did not improve cognitive or reactive agility performance or meaningfully alter mood, tiredness, appetite, or thermoregulation under the study conditions.
