A multicenter randomized controlled trial demonstrates that drug-coated balloons significantly reduce 6-month restenosis and 1-year recurrent ischemic events compared to bare-metal stents in patients with symptomatic high-grade intracranial
A multicenter RCT demonstrates that drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty significantly reduces 6-month restenosis and 1-year recurrent ischemic events compared to bare-metal stenting in patients with high-grade symptomatic intracranial ath
The Phase 3 METIS trial demonstrates that Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) following stereotactic radiosurgery significantly prolongs time to intracranial progression in NSCLC patients with brain metastases, without compromising neurocognit
While the primary i-DEF trial results suggested futility for deferoxamine in unselected intracerebral hemorrhage patients, recent post hoc analyses reveal significant benefits in early neurological improvement, long-term recovery trajectori
A Phase 1b study demonstrates that combining SBRT with the bispecific antibody cadonilimab (PD-1/CTLA-4) is safe and effective for refractory solid tumors, yielding a 23.8% response rate and 7.2-month median PFS in patients who failed multi
The GASTO-1053 phase II study demonstrates that combining bevacizumab with fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy significantly improves intracranial progression-free survival (18.3 months) and quality of life for NSCLC patients with extens
A landmark study from the nNGM reveals that PET/CT-guided discontinuation of immunotherapy in long-term lung cancer responders significantly improves survival and identifies second primary cancers, challenging the current practice of indefi
The PROSA trial reveals that a contrast-free biparametric MRI-first screening approach doubles the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer compared to PSA-triggered pathways, while maintaining favorable cost-effectiveness and be
A multicenter cohort study (ERNA-IAO) demonstrates that endovascular recanalization significantly increases the risk of stroke and death compared to medical treatment alone in patients with symptomatic nonacute intracranial artery occlusion
This study establishes patient-centered amyloid PET thresholds for tauopathy onset, revealing that age and sex significantly influence the transition from amyloidosis to tau accumulation. These personalized cut-offs better predict cognitive
The SECURIS study demonstrates that emergent carotid artery stenting (eCAS) for tandem lesions in acute ischemic stroke significantly improves one-year functional outcomes and recanalization success without increasing hemorrhagic risks comp
The CERES-TANDEM study provides Class II evidence that emergent carotid stenting (eCAS) during endovascular thrombectomy for tandem lesions significantly improves 90-day functional outcomes without increasing hemorrhagic risk, supporting it
The multicenter CERES-TANDEM study provides Class II evidence that emergent carotid stenting (eCAS) during thrombectomy for tandem lesions significantly improves 90-day functional recovery without increasing the risk of symptomatic intracra
Elevated plasma glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in middle age independently predicts the progression of cerebral small vessel disease MRI markers nearly a decade later, suggesting its potential as an early-stage prognostic biomarker
The IsCHEMiA score, an imaging-based risk model validated across international cohorts, offers superior prediction of poststroke epilepsy compared to previous tools. By integrating clinical and neuroimaging markers, it provides a precise fr
A prospective study of 167 Fabry disease patients identifies low T1 values, left ventricular hypertrophy, and late gadolinium enhancement as key predictors of major adverse cardiac events, leading to a robust new 3-year clinical prognostic
A large-scale UK Biobank study reveals that while visceral and liver fat accelerate cardiovascular ageing in both sexes, subcutaneous and android fat specifically impact males, whereas gynoid fat may offer protective benefits.
A large-scale cohort study from the Western Denmark Heart Registry demonstrates that high LDL-C remains a significant predictor of non-calcified plaque and coronary heart disease events in patients with a CAC score of zero, particularly amo
A landmark study demonstrates that CMR-derived extracellular volume (ECV) mapping effectively monitors amyloid burden in ATTR-CM. While untreated patients show significant progression, patisiran stabilizes amyloid load, with ECV progression
A landmark study demonstrates that measuring flow convergence from the parasternal long-axis window significantly outperforms apical PISA in feasibility and matches Cardiac MRI accuracy for assessing aortic regurgitation severity.
