Older patients with coronary artery disease scheduled for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) had comparable outcomes regardless of whether they underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) before TAVR, according to findings from the PRO-TAVI study presented at the American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Session (ACC.26).

An overload of electronic paperwork is increasing the risk of burnout among young doctors, a new study says.

A study by psychologists at Nottingham Trent University suggests that mornings are the optimal time for older adults to engage in age-related interventions to maximize well-being. The research involved 86 men and women aged 60 to 81 who completed online questionnaires once early in the morning and once in the late afternoon or early evening. The work is published in the journal Chronobiology International.

Future doctors may no longer be required to learn about how social and economic factors affect health.

Biopsy-derived organoids, accurate models of disease, are used to search for new drugs. Now, results obtained by a study led by the University of Trento in collaboration with Bambino Gesù Children’s Hospital in Rome may pave a path to an organoid that could be used to study two common, aggressive childhood brain cancers. The model organ for this research project is the best pediatric brain tumor model developed so far and can be used to test new drugs. The results of the project are published in the Nature Protocols.
