Study shows radial arterial access superiority in coronary interventions

New data demonstrate the superiority of radial arterial access compared to femoral arterial access for coronary interventions.

Anger damages blood vessel function, raising heart disease risk

A recent study in the Journal of the American Heart Association reveals that provoked anger, but not sadness or anxiety, acutely impairs endothelial function, shedding light on the link between anger and cardiovascular events.

New discovery offers dietary solution for pulmonary hypertension

Blood vessels in the lungs aren't like the others in the body. This difference becomes clear in pulmonary hypertension, in which only the lungs' blood vessels stiffen progressively, leading to chronic lung disease, heart failure and death.

New scoring system identifies risks in coronary artery interventions

New data demonstrated that a left main (LM) bifurcation-specific novel scoring system (LM V-RESOLVE), based on three simple baseline angiographic findings, could help to rapidly discriminate lesions at risk of side branch (SB) occlusion during LM bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) – reducing risk during the procedure.

Global research offers insights about health burden disparities between genders

Globally, there are substantial differences between females and males (aged 10 and older) when it comes to health, with limited progress in bridging these health gaps over the past 30 years, according to a new study examining the disparities in the 20 leading causes of disease burden between females and males, across ages and regions, published in The Lancet Public Health journal.

AI model mimics randomized clinical trials for determining optimal stroke prevention treatment

Scientists have designed a new artificial intelligence model that emulates randomized clinical trials at determining the treatment options most effective at preventing stroke in people with heart disease.

Study reveals molecular changes in 19 organs due to exercise

The health benefits of exercise are well known but new research shows that the body's response to exercise is more complex and far-reaching than previously thought.

Simple blood test could allow doctors to determine a person’s risk for stroke or cognitive decline

A simple blood test could allow doctors to determine whether a person may be at higher risk for stroke or cognitive decline during their lifetime, according to a new UCLA Health study.

ChatGPT falls short in heart risk assessment

Despite ChatGPT's reported ability to pass medical exams, new research indicates it would be unwise to rely on it for some health assessments, such as whether a patient with chest pain needs to be hospitalized.

High testosterone levels in older men associated with greater risk of atrial fibrillation

Researchers investigated whether higher endogenous testosterone levels increase atrial fibrillation (AF) risk among healthy older males.

First FDA-approved cellular therapy for metastatic melanoma available in South Florida

Patients in South Florida with metastatic melanoma will soon have access to the first cellular therapy for this advanced form of skin cancer, following its recent approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

New drug candidate reverses obesity in mice by transforming liver metabolism

A mitochondrial transcription inhibitor (IMT) shifted metabolism in high-fat diet mice toward fatty acid oxidation, leading to weight loss, reduced liver fat, and improved glucose tolerance.

New biomarkers identified for predicting psychosis risk in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome

A recent study led by UC Davis Health researchers provides new insights into the molecular changes linked to the rare genetic condition 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, or 22q.

1 May 2024

Study uncovers molecular mechanism linking nonsense-mediated RNA decay to microcephaly

Nonsense-mediated RNA decay, or NMD, is an evolutionarily conserved molecular mechanism in which potentially defective messenger RNAs, or mRNAs (genetic material that instructs the body on how to make proteins), are degraded.

Brief episode of anger may negatively impact blood vessels' ability to relax

A brief episode of anger triggered by remembering past experiences may negatively impact the blood vessels' ability to relax, which is essential for proper blood flow, according to new research published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association, an open access, peer-reviewed journal of the American Heart Association.

Research identifies a unique protein fingerprint linked to very short sleep and increased diabetes risk

Study highlights the association between sleep duration and proteomic fingerprints, finding that very short sleep is linked to proteins involved in inflammation and cell death that increase the risk of diabetes mellitus (DM) but not coronary heart disease (CHD).

Nonmotor seizures goes undetected in pediatric emergency departments

A subtle type of seizure goes undetected two-thirds of the time in pediatric emergency departments, a new study shows.
