Study shows survival benefit of surgical ablation during CABG in patients with atrial fibrillation

A new study published in The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, a journal from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons, finds that Medicare patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who undergo surgical ablation during isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) live longer than those who do not, offering compelling support for clinical guidelines that recommend this procedure but are too often not followed in practice.

Y chromosome loss linked to poor cancer outcomes

When cancer cells in male patients and immune cells in their tumors both lose the Y chromosome, those patients tend to experience poorer outcomes than patients without Y chromosome loss, according to new findings from Cedars-Sinai investigators.

Study highlights the lasting toll of colorectal cancer on women's sexual health

A new University of British Columbia-led study is shedding light on a long-overlooked consequence of colorectal cancer: the lasting toll it can take on women's sexual health, even years after treatment ends.

New screening tool enhances early detection of pulmonary hypertension

A novel screening approach developed by physicians at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University shows significant promise for improving the detection of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)-a life-threatening form of heart failure related to high blood pressure in the lung circulation that is often overlooked due to vague symptoms such as fatigue and shortness of breath.

AI and human scientists collaborate to discover new cancer drug combinations

An 'AI scientist', working in collaboration with human scientists, has found that combinations of cheap and safe drugs – used to treat conditions such as high cholesterol and alcohol dependence – could also be effective at treating cancer, a promising new approach to drug discovery.

Two blood pressure management strategies yield similar cognitive outcomes after non-cardiac surgery

A large international study has found that two different approaches to managing blood pressure in older adults undergoing non-cardiac surgery, one avoiding low blood pressure (hypotension) and the other high blood pressure (hypertension), lead to similar outcomes in terms of in-hospital delirium and cognitive changes one year after surgery.

SWOG S2302 Pragmatica-Lung study demonstrates value of streamlined clinical trials in real world settings

The SWOG S2302 Pragmatica-Lung trial, which broke new ground with its streamlined pragmatic design, unusually broad eligibility criteria, and reduced data collection, has quickly answered its primary question, finding that the investigational combination it tested did not significantly extend overall survival compared to standard of care treatments.

Does lithium offer hope for long COVID brain fog and fatigue? New trial gives mixed results

A randomized clinical trial found that low-dose lithium aspartate did not improve cognitive dysfunction or fatigue in long COVID patients. Higher doses showed possible benefits in a small exploratory substudy, but larger trials are needed.
