Pink noise cut anxiety, while both sounds eased colonoscopy pain
A randomized study of 135 adults found lower anxiety with pink noise and lower pain with both noise types, but gave no effect sizes or confidence intervals.
Albuquerque shelter study finds more dog heartworm antigen positives
A peer-reviewed Open Access brief report found 14 antigen-positive dogs after heat-based serum treatment, compared with four before it, while qPCR detected no microfilariae DNA.
Ultrasound risk groups linked to sharply different rebleeding rates
A study of 56 patients with esophagogastric varices linked more rebleeding and less remission to more severe vascular abnormalities.
Few Cancer Survivors Returned to Oncology After Primary-Care Transition
A retrospective study found that recurrence or new disease was detected in 4.8% of all 2,604 survivors after transition to primary care.
High-Volume Early Adopters Linked to Lower Robotic Surgery Uptake
A statewide registry analysis found the association across seven analytical approaches, but its observational design does not show that early adopters caused colleagues to hold back.
Clear Aligners Linked to Less Tooth Tipping After Jaw Surgery
A retrospective study of 24 patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion found different incisor and molar movement patterns, but it did not establish that aligners were superior.
Review finds signs of lasting inflammation in cerebral palsy
A review of 17 studies reports inflammatory signals beyond the period around birth and highlights possible treatment targets, while samples and biomarkers varied across the evidence.
Study Links Breastfeeding to Lower Influenza Risk in Preterm Infants
Among 3,368 preterm infants, breastfeeding status up to 6 months was linked to lower influenza risk, but findings for other viruses were reported only as a trend.
Digital PET/CT showed higher detection of cranial giant cell arteritis
A peer-reviewed international study found higher sensitivity when cranial-artery assessment was included, but it does not show PET/CT should replace existing tests.
Reported Cognitive Problems Linked to Frailty, Mortality in Chinese Cohort
In 6,793 Chinese adults, the combined measure was associated with frailty progression, higher mortality and persistently high frailty trajectories. The study reports associations, not proof of cause.
Study finds distinct skeletal and muscle patterns in TMD
A cross-sectional study of 79 patients reported different bone and muscle measurements between two TMD subgroups, but did not validate a clinical risk tool.
Benzocaine Patch Shows Lower Pain Than Gel in Dental Trial
A randomized split-mouth study found lower patient pain ratings at both injection sites, while observer-rated pain was lower only at the palate.
Study Finds No Clear Hip-Fracture Benefit From Added Screws
A retrospective cohort found no significant reduction in later same-side hip fractures after distal femur fixation, but few cases limited the result.
Metal Cups Had Higher Observed Hip Implant Survival After Radiotherapy
A small retrospective comparison after pelvic radiotherapy found fewer revisions with trabecular metal cups, but the authors say larger studies are needed.
Testosterone therapy linked to higher five-year odds after neck fusion
A propensity-matched cohort found similar early complication rates but higher reported odds of three longer-term outcomes after single-level ACDF.
Review links autism to more rigid brain-network patterns at rest
A seven-study analysis found promising diagnostic signals in resting-state fMRI, but wide differences between studies limit clinical conclusions.
Pentixafor and FDG show similar lesion detection in thyroid cancer
A prospective study of 19 patients found lower overall Pentixafor uptake than FDG, while a smaller group of lesions showed the reverse pattern.
