Virtual pulmonary rehabilitation programs are safe, effective for people with COPD
2025-05-01
Miami (May 1, 2025) – Virtual pulmonary rehabilitation is a safe, effective alternative to traditional pulmonary rehabilitation programs for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who also require supplemental oxygen, according to a new report. The report is published in the March 2025 issue of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases: Journal of the COPD Foundation, a peer-reviewed, open-access journal.
COPD is an inflammatory lung disease, comprising several conditions, including ...
Good karma for me, bad karma for you
2025-05-01
WASHINGTON – Many people around the world believe in karma – that idea that divine justice will punish people who do bad deeds and reward those who good. But that belief plays out differently for oneself versus others, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
People are more likely to believe that they’ve earned good things in their own life through karmic merit, while bad things that happen to other people are due to karmic punishment, according ...
Studies underscore occupational health hazards for Cath lab personnel and highlight need for lead-less solutions
2025-05-01
Washington, D.C. – May 1, 2025 – Analyses from the (Ergonomics in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory (ERGO-CATH) study show the traditional approach using a lead apron causes 43% of interventional cardiologists to experience discomfort, building on existing consensus of the significant occupational health risks that exist in the catheterization (cath) lab. The data were presented today at the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) 2025 Scientific Sessions in Washington, D.C.
The cath lab is a designated ...
Single antiplatelet therapy reduced risk of mortality and major bleeding in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement by half
2025-05-01
Washington, D.C. – MAY 1, 2025 – Findings from the Transfusion Requirements in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TRITAVI) registry demonstrate that single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is associated with a significantly lower incidence of six-month mortality and major bleeding risk compared to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). The late-breaking data were presented today at the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) 2025 Scientific Sessions.
The current standard of care following TAVR is SAPT, which involves the use of only one ...

In iron-dependent cell death, lysosome destabilization is key
2025-05-01
Fukuoka, Japan—The duplication and division of cells is critical to keeping all multicellular organisms alive. But the opposite process is equally important: cell death. Controlled death of cells, or programmed cell death, is also necessary for the proper development and function of the body. It has also been a focus of researchers developing treatments for cancer by finding ways to activate the cell death of cancer cells themselves.
Ferroptosis is a recently discovered form of programmed cell death and has been a promising target for the ...

2025-05-01
Washington, D.C. – MAY 1, 2025 – In patients undergoing chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), stenting demonstrated improved long-term survival and fewer cardiac arrests at one year. The late-breaking data were presented today at the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) 2025 Scientific Sessions.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart disease and a leading cause of death worldwide. CTO PCI is a minimally invasive procedure to treat CAD by reopening blocked arteries with a catheter and stent. CTO PCI is a ...
