One Dose of HPV Vaccine Noninferior to Two: Implications for Global Cervical Cancer Prevention

By MedXY|Dec 3, 2025

A randomized trial of 20,330 girls 12–16 years shows one dose of bivalent or nonavalent HPV vaccine prevents persistent HPV16/18 infection as effectively as two doses over 5 years, with high effectiveness and no safety signals.

Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement Emits Twice the CO2 of TAVR: What This Means for Practice and Policy

By MedXY|Nov 29, 2025

A life cycle assessment found SAVR produces roughly double the carbon footprint of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), with postoperative ICU and ward care as the main drivers. Results highlight opportunities to decarbonize cardi

Surgical aortic valve replacement produces about twice the carbon footprint of transcatheter approaches: clinical and stewardship implications

By MedXY|Nov 29, 2025

A life cycle assessment found SAVR emits ~620–750 kg CO2e per case—roughly double OR- or cath-lab TAVR (~280–360 kg CO2e). ICU length of stay and postoperative care were the dominant contributors, highlighting targets for low-carbon periope
