Heart attack triggers sleep increase to aid recovery

A heart attack can trigger a desire to get more sleep, allowing the heart to heal and reduce inflammation-;and this happens because the heart sends special signals to the brain, according to a new Mount Sinai study.

Researchers aim to identify the "sweet spot" for safely scheduling surgery after heart attack

After a heart attack, aging adults face double or triple the risk of life-threatening complications – like a debilitating stroke or another heart attack – when they move forward with elective noncardiac surgeries too soon, according to new University of Rochester research published in JAMA Surgery.

Survey reveals lack of awareness about pancreatic cancer risk among adults under age 50

While pancreatic cancer rates are rising in people under age 50, a new survey conducted by The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) shows most people continue to believe that pancreatic disease affects only the elderly – and that there is nothing they can do to reduce their risk.

Later menopause linked to increased asthma risk in women

Many studies suggest that an earlier age at menopause is more detrimental to a woman's health, leading to an increased risk for adverse health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and depression, among others.

New guidance balances GLP-1 risks and benefits for surgery

Most patients may continue to safely take glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists as prescribed before undergoing elective surgery and gastrointestinal endoscopies, according to new clinical guidance released today by five surgical and medical societies including the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), American Gastroenterological Association (AGA), International Society of Perioperative Care of Patients with Obesity (ISPCOP), and Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES).

Study challenges early intervention for asymptomatic aortic stenosis

The EVOLVED trial found that early aortic valve intervention in patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) and mid-wall myocardial fibrosis on magnetic resonance imaging did not reduce the incidence of the composite primary endpoint of all-cause death or unplanned aortic stenosis hospitalization compared with guideline-directed conservative management.

Machine learning reveals secrets of aging in flies and humans

Discoveries that impact lifespan and healthspan in fruit flies are usually tested in mice before being considered potentially relevant in humans, a process that is expensive and time intensive. A pioneering approach taken at the Buck Institute leapfrogs over that standard methodology.
