AI co-pilot boosts noninvasive brain-computer interface by interpreting user intent

Adding aspirin increased the risk of cardiovascular events, death and major bleeding in high-risk patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) who had prior stenting and were receiving long-term chronic oral anticoagulation (OAC), according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session at the ESC Congress 2025 and simultaneously published in New England Journal of Medicine.

Drug-coated stents and balloons were not associated with reduced risk of amputation or improved quality of life compared with uncoated devices in two trials in peripheral artery disease (PAD), according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2025.

A simple blood test could make asthma treatment more precise, more effective—and potentially more affordable. Researchers from Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences (KL Krems) and the Medical University of Vienna (MedUni Vienna) have developed a molecular allergy chip that detects allergic asthma in individual patients. The paper is published in the journal Allergy.

A Northwestern Medicine study has uncovered new insights that may aid in understanding and potentially treating one of the most common and aggressive forms of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, according to findings published in Science Advances.

During pregnancy, the body becomes particularly vulnerable to chemical exposures that can affect both the mother and the developing fetus. These exposures—often from everyday sources like processed foods, packaging materials, and personal care products—introduce xenobiotic metabolites (XMs) into the body.

Mount Sinai researchers developed an AI model to make individualized treatment recommendations for atrial fibrillation (AF) patients—helping clinicians accurately decide whether or not to treat them with anticoagulants (blood thinner medications) to prevent stroke, which is currently the standard treatment course in this patient population. This model presents a completely new approach for how clinical decisions are made for AF patients and could represent a potential paradigm shift in this area.

A simple urine test that can assess the risk of kidney cancer recurrence at an early stage could spare patients from frequent X-ray examinations and thus reduce the associated radiation, anxiety and costs.

An individually tailored multidimensional risk-based treatment strategy was not associated with improvements in clinical outcomes compared with usual guideline-based care in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2025.

Ivabradine did not reduce the occurrence of myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS), according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2025.

The most common type of brain tumor in children, pilocytic astrocytoma (PA), accounts for about 15% of all pediatric brain tumors. Although this type of tumor is usually not life-threatening, the unchecked growth of tumor cells can disrupt normal brain development and function.

In 2010, UCLA nursing professor Barbara Bates-Jensen traveled to Haiti to direct and provide wound care for victims of a 7.0-magnitude earthquake that had killed or injured more than half a million people and left 5 million displaced.

A team of Hong Kong researchers has found that binge gaming correlates with poorer social, academic, and mental health outcomes in schoolchildren, with distinct patterns by gender.

Immune cells released from bone marrow in the skull in response to chronic stress and adversity could play a key role in symptoms of depression and anxiety, say researchers.

"Young" immune cells created by Cedars-Sinai investigators reversed signs of aging and Alzheimer's disease in the brains of laboratory mice, according to a study published in the journal Advanced Science.

David Bregger had never heard of kratom before his son, Daniel, 33, died in Denver in 2021 from using what he thought was a natural and safe remedy for anxiety.

When scientists cracked the human genome in 2003—sequencing the entire genetic code of a human being—many expected it would unlock the secrets of disease. But genetics explained only about 10% of the risk. The other 90% lies in the environment—and diet plays a huge part.

A hormone produced by the brain, orexin, may play a central role in the functioning of the brain's glymphatic system, which clears waste, according to a new study from the University of Oulu.

Black adults in the U.S. are first hospitalized for heart failure nearly 14 years earlier than white adults, reports a Northwestern Medicine study that analyzed data from more than 42,000 patients across hundreds of hospitals nationwide.
