Cryoprobe improves diagnostic accuracy in transbronchial lung biopsies

In a new study published in JAMA, the diagnostic yield of transbronchial lung biopsy was significantly higher when using a cryoprobe versus forceps in a group of patients with pulmonary nodules or masses, recent lung transplant, and diffuse parenchymal lung disease.

Researchers uncover new clues about the origin of Alzheimer's tau tangles

Researchers at Columbia University have uncovered new clues about the earliest molecular events that may trigger Alzheimer's disease, shedding light on how toxic tau filaments begin to form in the brain.

Pembrolizumab combination therapy improves survival in recurrent endometrial cancer patients

Previously, immature overall survival results of the NRG Oncology GY018 (NRG-GY018) trial suggested that the use of the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab in combination with chemotherapy improved overall survival for patients with advanced stage or recurrent endometrial cancer when compared to chemotherapy alone.

Thyroid function linked to chronotype or daytime sleepiness in women with Hashimoto's thyroiditis

Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), an autoimmune disease with a prevalence 2–7 times higher in women than in men, is associated with daytime sleepiness.

Teclistamab delivers deeper responses in relapsed myeloma patients

Patients with relapsed multiple myeloma treated with the immunotherapy teclistamab lived significantly longer and remained in remission far longer than those receiving standard therapies, according to results from a major international phase 3 clinical trial published in The New England Journal of Medicine and presented at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting.

RNA therapy targets genetic cause of heart failure in the Netherlands

Using patient-derived cardiac tissue and stem cell-based models, the team of translational researchers demonstrated that targeting the genetic cause of disease improved cellular abnormalities and identified the biological pathways involved.

Review explores diagnosis and management of perioperative anaphylaxis during anesthesia

Perioperative anaphylaxis is a rare, life‑threatening condition during anesthesia. The unique setting – multiple drugs, patient draping, and altered physiology – causes higher mortality than anaphylaxis elsewhere.

Review explores complex associations between sleep apnea and lung cancer

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder characterized by intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation, which may contribute to lung cancer development and progression.

Targeted therapy sunvozertinib outperforms standard chemotherapy in advanced lung cancer trial

The targeted therapy sunvozertinib was more effective than standard platinum-based chemotherapy as a first-line treatment for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) driven by EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations (EGFR exon20ins), according to new research from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

PET microplastics remain in lungs and worsen respiratory tract inflammation

Microplastics (MP) are the subject of intensive medical research, but little is yet known about their effects on the immune system.

Study reveals right ventricle better tolerates oxygen loss during cardiac arrest

A study led by scientists at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC) provides new insights into ventricular fibrillation (VF), the most dangerous type of cardiac arrhythmia.

Children left waiting up to two years for NHS continence care, new data reveals

Children with bladder and bowel conditions are waiting months – and in some cases years – for specialist NHS support, as overstretched continence services struggle to meet rising demand, new Freedom of Information (FOI) data reveals.

Urine-based autism screening using gut microbial metabolites

Elevated gut microbe metabolites may distinguish children with autism, paving the way for a non-invasive urine test and a new ASD subtype linked to microbiome.

Could guava juice help prevent anemia?

Guava juice intake is linked to increased hemoglobin levels in females, highlighting its role as a dietary complement to traditional iron supplementation.

Gut microbes may reveal who is at risk of type 2 diabetes years before diagnosis

A large Swedish prospective cohort study found that specific gut microbial species and metabolic pathways measured years before diagnosis were associated with future type 2 diabetes risk. The findings suggest that gut microbiome composition and functional potential may help explain T2D development, but replication is needed before clinical use.

Advanced tau imaging improves early Alzheimer’s disease detection accuracy

A new brain imaging test can detect a key hallmark of Alzheimer's disease before symptoms appear and earlier than the method currently used in clinical practice in the United States and Europe, report University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers today in The Lancet.

Ocrelizumab slows disability progression in advanced progressive multiple sclerosis

A major international phase III clinical trial, led by Queen Mary University of London, has found that ocrelizumab – a medication already prescribed to some patients with MS – significantly slows disability progression in people with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS), including older patients and those with more advanced disease who are wheelchair users.

Blood biomarkers may detect Alzheimer’s risk before symptoms appear

For the first time, researchers found blood biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease that correlated with minor cognitive differences in midlife adults who did not have dementia.

Gut changes linger years after polyp removal and may signal colorectal cancer risk

Researchers found that women who had undergone colorectal adenoma resection still showed gut microbiome and fecal metabolome alterations an average of about 12 years later. These persistent changes partly resembled colorectal cancer-associated patterns, suggesting that the host-microbiome axis may remain altered along the adenoma-cancer continuum.
