Meningoencephalitis of unknown etiology (MUE) is a common inflammatory central nervous system disease in dogs and is associated with a poor prognosis. The first 3 months post-diagnosis represent a critical prognostic window, as most mortalities occur within this period. The hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet (HALP) score has emerged as a novel prognostic tool for predicting short-term …

Multiple sclerosis, often called MS, is a long-term disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. It occurs when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering around nerve fibers. Over time, this damage disrupts communication between the brain and the rest of the body. People with MS may experience symptoms such as vision […] The post Blood Test May Predict Multiple Sclero…

Eye exams are becoming much more powerful than many people realize. Modern eye clinics now use advanced imaging technology that allows doctors to look deep inside the eye without surgery, needles, or discomfort. These scans can reveal tiny changes in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye that plays a key […] The post AI May Predict Heart and Kidney Disease from Eye Scans a…

Mayo Clinic researchers and collaborators have shown that artificial intelligence (AI) can analyze routine pathology slides to help classify meningiomas, the most common primary brain tumor in adults, and predict a patient's risk of tumor recurrence.

Non-invasive eye scans allow doctors a zoomed-in, three-dimensional look beneath the eye's surface without causing discomfort or pain to the patient. Used routinely in clinics worldwide, the scans produce detailed views of individual layers of the eye's interior to help diagnose conditions that threaten vision.

BackgroundCatatonic stupor is a potentially life-threatening condition, with key symptoms including mutism, immobility, refusal to eat, and negativism. It may be accompanied by complications such as infection, hyperthermia, and thrombosis. When patients develop concurrent severe physical illnesses, this is very likely to cause delays in diagnosis and treatment, further increasing the risk of clin…

A new noninvasive technology, called broadband optical spectroscopy (BOS), has promise to reliably detect necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in premature infants at earlier stages, before this devastating intestinal disease progresses enough to be visible on x-ray, according to a first-in-human study from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago published in the Journal of Pediatric Surg…

Journal of Computer Science, Published online: 5 June 2026; doi:10.3844/jcssp.2026.1532.1538 Accurate and real-time detection of cardiac arrhythmias is essential for timely medical intervention. Advances in wearable devices and deep learning have made it feasible to continuously monitor elect...

University of Florida researchers have developed an AI tool called AIDD that distinguishes between Alzheimer's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies with near-perfect accuracy.

Kihealth, Inc., a precision diagnostics company focused on disease interception and metabolic health, today announced the launch of Beta Intercept(tm), the latest version of its proprietary beta-cell cell-free DNA (cfDNA) assay designed to detect active beta-cell injury earlier and more dynamically than traditional diabetes biomarkers.

BackgroundDespite the increasing use of direct oral anticoagulants, low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) remains important in venous thromboembolism (VTE) care when oral therapy is unsuitable, temporarily unsafe, or difficult to manage, particularly during pregnancy, cancer-associated thrombosis, renal impairment, and peri-procedural care. Objective: To review how LMWH pharmacology informs practic…

Hyperuricemia, a prevalent metabolic disorder, is not only the primary cause of gout but also an independent risk factor for various chronic conditions, including hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and diabetes mellitus, thereby posing a significant threat to multi-organ health. Iatrogenic factors represent a key pathogenic trigger for hyperuricemia. With the expanding spe…

BackgroundElagolix and Myfembree are gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)-pathway therapies used for endometriosis, but their post-marketing safety reporting patterns remain incompletely characterized. Because spontaneous reporting databases are susceptible to reporting bias and differential market exposure, comparative analyses require cautious interpretation.MethodsWe analyzed quarterly data f…

BackgroundDifferences in bleeding risk among direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) may reflect not only exposure-related factors but also molecule-specific drug–target interaction characteristics. This study aimed to evaluate real-world bleeding outcomes and to complement these findings with molecular docking analyses as supportive, hypothesis-generating mechanistic context for safety differences am…
