Walking speed before surgery predicts who thrives after hip replacement

This study shows that preoperative gait speed is a strong predictor of patient-reported pain relief, function, and joint awareness after total hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis. A walking speed of at least 1.0 m/s before surgery independently predicts excellent postoperative outcomes.

Novel antibody suppresses primary tumor growth and spread of triple-negative breast cancer

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most aggressive and treatment-resistant forms of breast cancer. It grows quickly, spreads early and lacks the hormone receptors that make other breast cancers treatable with targeted therapies.

Higher PFAS levels reduce blood sugar improvements after teen bariatric surgery

A new USC study shows teens with higher blood levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) measured before bariatric surgery had smaller improvements in blood sugar over five years, including fasting glucose and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), which measures average blood sugar levels over the past 60-90 days.

Chronic kidney disease accelerates cognitive decline through heart-brain pathways

A new study published in the American Journal of Physiology - Heart and Circulatory Physiology reveals that chronic kidney disease (CKD) accelerates cognitive decline through interconnected damage to the heart and brain-and that these pathways differ markedly between men and women.

Current state, challenges, and future directions of heart transplantation in USA and Western Europe

In nearly 60 years, heart transplantation has transformed from a daring vision to an established surgical procedure. Since the first adult heart transplant in the United States was performed at Stanford Hospital in 1968, the field has made significant strides.

Quicker access to Stop the Bleed program could have saved dozens of Maryland homicide victims

Quicker access to bleeding control interventions taught in the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Stop the Bleed program could have prevented the deaths of numerous homicide victims in Maryland, according to a first-of-its-kind analysis published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons (JACS).

Prehabilitation helps reduce disability after surgery in frail older adults

A large clinical trial published in JAMA Surgery shows that prehabilitation (also called prehab) can reduce disability after surgery in older adults with frailty, provided they are able to fully take part in the prehab program.

A personalized approach to treating pancreatic cancer

It's not surprising that pancreatic cancer is often referred to as a silent killer. With few early symptoms and an aggressive nature, it has one of the lowest survival rates of all cancers.

Gene variant linked to higher risk of chronic rejection after lung transplant

About one third of lung transplant recipients have a genetic variant that makes them more likely to develop chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), the primary cause of mortality after lung transplantation.

Fragmented sleep worsens recovery outcomes after traumatic brain injury

A new study highlights how important uninterrupted sleep is to recovery after a traumatic brain injury, finding that fragmented sleep in injured mice is linked to a loss of rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep and increased fatigue.

AI-assisted liquid biopsies show promise for early cancer detection

The prospect of diagnosing cancer through painless methods—such as a simple AI-assisted blood or urine test that detects tiny particles known as exosomes—is becoming increasingly realistic.

Walking speed before hip replacement predicts long-term recovery success

Total hip arthroplasty (hip replacement) is a common treatment for hip osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease caused by cartilage in the hip joint wearing down.

Study links endocrine-disrupting chemicals to hidradenitis suppurativa

A Johns Hopkins Medicine study involving a dozen people with the inflammatory skin disease hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), which mostly affects skin folds, is believed to be the first to provide evidence that hormone-disrupting chemicals commonly found in ultra-processed food and single-use water bottles may contribute to the development of or worsen the condition in some people.
