A rapid pathway for diagnosing heart attacks in the emergency department (ED) was as safe as a slower pathway but neither reduced the length of time patients spent in the ED nor increased direct discharge from the ED.

Functional coronary angiography significantly reduced cardiovascular events and improved safety compared with conventional angiography in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease.

Silent atherosclerosis was detectable from early adulthood and showed sex-specific patterns of growth with age, according to results from the REACT study presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2026 and published simultaneously in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Atherosclerosis, the process underlying most cardiovascular diseases, begins long before the first symptoms appear.

Researchers have uncovered early molecular warning signs of inflammatory bowel disease, revealing the condition can begin before symptoms appear and continue silently even when patients appear well.

Cardiovascular disease remains a major global health challenge, causing millions of deaths each year and imposing substantial healthcare costs. Early, accurate diagnosis is critical for improving outcomes and enabling timely intervention.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of older Americans recover from hip and knee replacement surgery at home. For many, that recovery depends on timely access to physical or occupational therapy after leaving the hospital.

Australian researchers are challenging decades-old assumptions about brain cancer treatment in a bid to make radiation therapy more effective against tumors, while reducing damage to healthy tissue.

Brain diseases, including dementia, have long been studied using experimental animals such as mice. However, differences between the human and animal genomes have raised concerns that some disease mechanisms may not be fully explained by conventional animal models.

A new research paper was published in Volume 17 of Oncotarget on August 19, 2026, titled "Incidence of KRAS G12C mutations in genitourinary malignancies; emerging target in precision medicine."

New research to be presented at the Annual Meeting of The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Milan, Italy (Sept 28 – Oct 2) estimates the number of people living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) worldwide will increase by 29% from 9.4 million in 2025 to 12.1 million in 2049.

In their quest to understand how cancers take root, grow and spread, scientists have for the past half-century explored the genetic aberrations and microenvironmental peculiarities of tumors and their constituent cells.

Millions of people worldwide are affected by diseases that cause scarring of the lungs, often leading to breathing difficulties and reduced quality of life.

Every time your body fights a virus, cells are making split-second decisions that determine whether an infection spreads or stops.

In a tale of identities as divergent as "The Prince and the Pauper," a well-known cancer-causing gene also influences cells in a zombie-like state meant to prevent cancer.

Researchers have mapped how the immune response in people with sepsis changes over time.

Researchers at LSU's Pennington Biomedical Research Center have identified a previously underappreciated role for tiny structures inside cells called peroxisomes in protecting insulin and maintaining the health and maturity of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells.

A new study found that nearly 20 percent of eligible adults in Medicaid expansion states are in danger of not meeting the minimum work hours that will be required nationwide beginning January 1.

A newly developed radiotheranostic pair, 68Ga/177Lu-NYM096, can identify tumors and effectively deliver targeted radiotherapy to patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).

Australian researchers are challenging decades-old assumptions about brain cancer treatment in a bid to make radiation therapy more effective against tumors, while reducing damage to healthy tissue.
