Reducing mortality in intermediate risk pulmonary embolism through targeted mechanical thrombectomy

New research presented today at TCT 2026 and simultaneously published in JSCAI found that, in the primary analysis, mechanical thrombectomy was associated with lower short- and long-term mortality among patients with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism compared with anticoagulation alone.

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.

Menopause reshapes women's careers, from brain fog to changing priorities

In a qualitative analysis of 130 Reddit posts, researchers examined how perimenopause and menopause affected women's career sustainability, finding that brain fog, fatigue, mood changes, and anxiety were associated with reduced confidence, workplace performance concerns, and threats to professional identity. The accounts revealed interconnected challenges involving health, happiness, and productivity, alongside experiences of supportive managers, online peer support, reduced working hours, and career reassessment that helped some women adapt to the transition.

Could GLP-1 drugs help women with PCOS beyond weight loss?

A scoping review of 28 studies suggests that GLP-1 receptor agonists may improve androgen levels and menstrual function in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), alongside their established metabolic benefits. Evidence for improved ovulation, fertility, and pregnancy outcomes remains limited, and the researchers could not determine whether reproductive benefits result directly from the drugs or from weight loss and improved metabolic health.

Norrin treatment prevents vision loss in diabetic rats

Over 100 million people in the U.S. are affected by diabetic retinopathy, a complication of diabetes that affects the eyes.

Researchers test noninvasive ultrasound treatment for schizophrenia-related hallucinations

Auditory hallucinations – or hearing voices that others do not hear – affect more than 70% of people with schizophrenia. Despite treatment with antipsychotic medications, approximately 40% continue to experience persistent hallucinations.

FDA approves ILUMYA for adults with active psoriatic arthritis

Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for ILUMYA® (tildrakizumab-asmn) for the treatment of adults with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA).

Physiological signals help AI predict post-concussion headaches and fatigue

Some people who suffer a concussion struggle with headaches and fatigue afterwards. Headaches and fatigue follow a consistent pattern that could potentially be used to warn the patient a full day before the symptoms set in.

Space-grown organoids better replicate aggressive glioblastoma tumors

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant primary brain tumor in adults and is one of the most aggressive and deadly forms of cancer.

Immunotherapy reshapes immune cell interactions in melanoma-affected lymph nodes

A new study from Mayo Clinic suggests checkpoint immunotherapy may reshape the immune environment within lymph nodes after melanoma has spread to them.

Myeloid immune cells play key roles in aortic health and disease

The aorta is often viewed primarily as the body's largest blood vessel-a durable conduit that delivers oxygen-rich blood from the heart to every organ.

Hyperactive cancer-promoting proteins help tumor cells evade immune attack

The immune system may recognize a cancer cell and still fail to destroy it. Researchers at Hiroshima University and their international collaborators found that hyperactive YAP and TAZ (YAP/TAZ), two cancer-promoting proteins, were associated with genomic instability that may make cancer cells more recognizable to the immune system, while also increasing PD-L2, which helps the cells suppress T-cell attack.

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.

Mayo Clinic enters new medical era with precure research

Mayo Clinic researchers are uncovering the earliest shifts in disease biology - long before symptoms appear - revealing how disease takes root and opening new possibilities to identify, predict and potentially prevent disease before symptoms develop.

Targeting specific enzyme reverses radiation-induced immune suppression in cancer

Researchers at the University of Chicago identified a mechanism to make immune cells reprogrammed by radiation therapy attack tumors rather than protect them.

Targeting ANO6 protein weakens pancreatic cancer and boosts immunity

Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers identified a potential therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer after showing that tumor growth can be slowed and immune suppression can be reduced in preclinical trials by blocking a particular protein, called anoctamin 6 (ANO6).
