CPAP treatment may reduce death risk in people with both type 2 diabetes and sleep apnea

People with both type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obstructive sleep apnea have a higher risk of death, but treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may reduce that risk by around 26%, according to new research being presented at this year's Annual Meeting of The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), Vienna (15-19 Sept).

New tool can predict where deadly brain cancer might reappear

Glioblastoma is a devastatingly effective brain cancer. Doctors can cut it out or blast it with radiation, but that only buys time. The cancer has an insidious ability to hide enough tumor cells in tissue around the tumor to allow it to return as deadly as ever.

Monitoring ctDNA can personalize the use of consolidation immunotherapy in patients with LS-SCLC

A new study presented at the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer 2025 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC) demonstrates that monitoring circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) can refine and personalize the use of consolidation immunotherapy in patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC).

Dengue infection leaves lasting genetic imprint on immunity

Just as a computer's operating system can be rewritten after a major update, dengue infection can 're-programme' the body's immune system, leaving a long-lasting genetic imprint that influences how people respond to future infections-an effect not seen with vaccination.
