A new expert opinion from the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) examines the evolving role of angiography-derived physiology (ADP), a wire-free method for coronary physiologic assessment that applies computational modeling or artificial intelligence (AI) to standard coronary angiographic images for the assessment and management of coronary artery disease.

A group of medications often used to treat diabetes may also help protect aging kidneys, according to a new study.

A prevention strategy developed by Canadian researchers can reduce the risk of the most common and deadly form of ovarian cancer by nearly 80%, according to a new study published today in JAMA Network Open by researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC).

For adults with clinically node-negative non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), assessment of more than one N1 nodal station is associated with increased nodal upstaging and improved survival, according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons, held from Jan. 29 to Feb. 1 in New Orleans.

Testing the biological sex of an athlete is becoming more common in sport, with governing bodies defending the practice as safeguarding fairness for women. But as the introduction of mandatory genetic testing raises questions about human rights, it could pave the way for more legal challenges. The study is titled "Genetics, gender and justice: the legal implications of genetic testing for gender eligibility in sport" and published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

Every person with functioning ovaries will eventually experience menopause. While the biology is relatively universal, the experience varies dramatically between individuals and in the same person over time.

Many middle-aged folks and seniors are shrugging off their annual flu or COVID-19 shot for a very simple reason, a new survey has found.

When scientists sequence tumor DNA, they typically find small amounts of genetic code from bacteria, viruses and fungi—microorganisms that—if actually present in tumor tissues—could influence how they grow, evade immunity or respond to treatment. But do microorganisms truly reside in tumors, or do the samples become contaminated before sequencing occurs?

Infectious disease experts are sounding the alarm about two pathogens in animals that have the potential to trigger the next major health crisis.

For many stroke survivors, recovery is derailed by painful muscle stiffness and involuntary spasms that limit movement, independence, and quality of life. Often viewed as an unavoidable consequence of stroke, this condition—known as post-stroke spasticity—may instead represent a missed opportunity for earlier, more effective care.
