Researchers found that the distance the eye travels during a rapid gaze shift changes post-saccadic visual sensitivity by altering the spatial-frequency information carried by retinal luminance transients. Larger saccades preferentially enhanced lower-frequency, coarser visual information, while very small saccades could increase the relative visibility of finer, higher-frequency information.

A narrative review found that maternal cannabis use may be associated with differences in breastmilk fat, protein, lactose, and the immune factor secretory immunoglobulin A, but evidence comes primarily from only two human studies and remains limited and inconsistent. The authors stress that maternal diet, food security, socioeconomic circumstances, and other forms of adversity could confound these associations and should be incorporated into future research.

Community first responders did not improve 30-day survival in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, according to results presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2026.

Memory loss is usually thought of as something to address as a person ages. Slip-ups like forgetting someone's name or recognizing a familiar face but not remembering where you know them from are often viewed as issues that arise later in life.

Monkeypox virus used to be transmitted predominantly from animals to humans. In recent years, however, new virus variants have become increasingly capable of spreading from person to person.

Breathing shapes thinking, attention, memory, perception, emotional regulation, and overall mental health by affecting activity in a variety of brain areas.

Mpox (formerly Monkeypox), a viral zoonotic disease, remains a global public health concern because it can spread between animals and humans and among people.

Researchers behind an app designed to support people after skin cancer treatment are inviting former early-stage melanoma patients to take part in its final evaluation tests.

In patients with intermediate−high risk pulmonary embolism, catheter-directed thrombolysis improved short-term clinical outcomes compared with standard anticoagulation therapy alone, according to results presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2026.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has a frustrating ability to adapt. Although this aggressive form of breast cancer can initially respond well to chemotherapy, cancer cells often find ways to survive, allowing the disease to return and become resistant to treatment.

Lifestyle factors can worsen the effects of genetic causes of male infertility, finds new research that could help explain why men carrying similar genetic mutations often experience different levels of fertility impairment.

Men with prostate cancer have a high risk of heart disease, especially when treated with hormone therapy.

Optical coherence tomography was noninferior to intravascular ultrasound to guide stenting in patients with left main coronary artery disease, according to results presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2026.

Researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine have been awarded a contract of up to $11.312 million from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to pursue a high-risk, high-reward research project aimed at developing optimized red blood cells that can temporarily boost human performance and health.

Results do not support routine closure of the left atrial appendage in all patients undergoing open-heart surgery but those at high stroke risk may benefit.

Takotsubo syndrome is an acute heart condition that primarily affects postmenopausal women and is often triggered by severe emotional or physical stress.

A new heart failure (HF) treatment effect calculator could help overcome one of the largest barriers to effective heart failure care by predicting the expected effects of treatment on blood pressure, kidney function and potassium levels.

A routine invasive approach should not be replaced with a more selective approach in older patients with the most common type of heart attack.

Balancing work and personal life is more challenging for evening types, or "night owls", than for morning types, or "early birds".

Influenza continues to cause major illness each year in the United States, leading to more than 35,000 deaths annually. Children, older adults, pregnant individuals, people with weakened immune systems, and those with chronic conditions such as heart disease, metabolic disorders, and cancer are especially vulnerable.
