In adults with hypertension, walking as few as 3,000 steps per day, well below the widely cited 10,000-step benchmark, is linked to a significantly lower risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), new research shows.

Post-Transplant Cognitive Impairment Lacks Clear Cause

Cognitive impairment remains a significant concern for liver transplant recipients, with new research showing that neurological decline persists even when hepatic encephalopathy is no longer present.

Oxygen Delivery Method Impacts Intubation Risk in ICU Patients

High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy may significantly reduce the need for intubation in critically ill patients with Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PjP), according to a new multicenter retrospective analysis.

Interstitial Lung Disease Doubles Risk of Lung Cancer

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is independently associated with a significantly higher risk of developing lung cancer, according to new findings from a large population-based cohort study that controlled for genetic factors.

Robotics in Mohs Surgery Show Future Potential

Robotic-assisted techniques could one day enhance the precision of Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) for rare cutaneous sarcomas such as dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP), but current technology remains ill-suited for skin-level applications, according to recent research.

Elevated Neuronal Biomarker Linked to Cognitive Decline in Lupus

Cognitive impairment in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may be linked to elevated serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE) levels, according to new pilot research exploring the role of this neuronal injury biomarker.

Diagnostic Gaps Drive Inappropriate Antibiotic Use
