A 12-week randomized trial explored sleep optimization in adults with type 1 diabetes, revealing improved sleep quality and reduced diabetes distress but limited glycemic benefits except in patients with baseline A1C ≥7%.
In frail elderly Asian AF patients stable on warfarin, transitioning to DOACs increased risks of bleeding, thromboembolic events, and mortality, emphasizing cautious individualized management.
Iterative redesign of electronic health record (EHR) portal reminders significantly improved mammography screening adherence in an outpatient setting, demonstrating the value of concise messages with scheduling links, while retinal and HbA1
From 2017 to 2022, general internal medicine inpatient volume increased notably, yet patient complexity remained stable; however, imaging utilization surged, highlighting evolving resource demands in hospital care.
APOL1 high-risk genotypes significantly increase the risk of reduced kidney function after living kidney donation in Black donors, highlighting the need for genotype screening to improve donor risk stratification.
Machine learning analysis of brief patient-physician conversations using acoustic speech features can effectively screen for cognitive impairment in primary care settings, enabling scalable early detection.
A 2026 RCT assessed telehealth stepped alcohol treatment in chronic liver disease patients, finding significant reductions in weekly alcohol consumption but no difference in achieving moderate drinking levels compared to usual care.
Analyzing 54 million adults in England reveals rising obesity rates from 2019-2025, disproportionately affecting socioeconomically deprived, ethnic minority, and younger adult groups, with widening inequalities intensified during the COVID-
This article explores how palliative care clinicians actively use their emotions during end-of-life consultations to build meaningful connections with patients and families, highlighting a three-phase process informed by a social constructi
A multicomponent stewardship intervention significantly reduced inappropriate antiplatelet prescription among patients on DOACs, decreasing bleeding risk, particularly in stable coronary artery disease.
This article explores how physicians determine stroke care goals for patients with disability or dementia, highlighting key challenges, decision factors, and the need for individualized, bias-aware approaches.
A Japanese registry study of 929 patients aged 70+ identified six predictors of worse survival after allo-HSCT and created a simple score that sharply stratified 2-year overall survival from 57.1% to 2.5%.
In adults with suspected MASH, 200 IU/day vitamin E lowered ALT as effectively as 400 IU/day and 800 IU/day over 24 weeks, with no short-term safety signal, supporting lower-dose use if vitamin E is chosen.
Researchers found that Galectin-3 boosts CaV1.2 calcium channel activity in blood vessel muscle, increasing contraction and blood pressure. Blocking this interaction lowered blood pressure in animal models, suggesting a new target for hyper
Elamipretide improved skeletal muscle force, titin phosphorylation, and atrophy in a HFpEF rat model, supporting cardiolipin stabilization as a promising mitochondrial-targeted strategy.
In a HFpEF rat model, elamipretide improved skeletal muscle force, reduced titin hyperphosphorylation, and prevented atrophy, supporting cardiolipin stabilization as a promising metabolic strategy.
A large single-center study found that hospitalized patients with limited English proficiency had higher adjusted odds of physical restraint or antipsychotic use, especially when delirium was present, raising concerns about communication-dr
In a Phase 1b placebo-controlled trial, ruvonoflast markedly reduced hsCRP, IL-6, and fibrinogen over 28 days in adults with obesity, elevated hsCRP, and cardiometabolic risk, supporting further evaluation of oral NLRP3 inhibition in athero
Continuous ICM monitoring in heart failure uncovered a high arrhythmia burden, including atrial fibrillation, bradyarrhythmia, and VT/VF, which was linked to more interventions, hospitalizations, and heart failure events.
In patients with ANOCA, overlapping coronary endotypes were common, and each additional abnormality identified on comprehensive coronary function testing was associated with significantly worse angina burden.
