Revascularization strategy fails to show noninferiority in STEMI patients

Noninferiority was not demonstrated between immediate and staged complete revascularisation in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 20251. Multivessel coronary artery disease – when at least two coronary arteries are blocked – affects almost half of patients who have STEMI, a type of heart attack. ESC Guidelines recommend complete revascularisation with PCI in patients with STEMI and multivessel disease, involving treating the blocked artery that caused the heart attack (culprit lesion) plus other affected vessels (non-culprit lesions).2 Explaining the aim of the OPTION-STEMI trial, its Principal Investigator, Professor Youngkeun Ahn from Chonnam National University Hospital, Gwangju, South Korea, stated, “We compared immediate complete revascularisation with PCI for the culprit and non-culprit lesions during the same procedure with staged complete revascularisation, where PCI for non-culprit lesions took place ...

Brain pulsations driving glymphatic function differ in narcolepsy patients and healthy individuals

A hormone produced by the brain, orexin, may play a central role in the functioning of the brain’s glymphatic system, which clears waste, according to a new study from the University of Oulu. Published in the high-profile journal PNAS, the study examined how the pulsations driving the brain’s glymphatic clearance differ in people with narcolepsy type 1 compared with healthy individuals. For the first time, the research directly compared the brain pulsations of narcolepsy patients with those of healthy individuals during sleep. The study included 23 participants with narcolepsy type 1 and a group of healthy controls. Brain clearance involves three types of pulsation: cardiovascular pulsations generated by the heartbeat in the arteries, respiratory pulsations in the veins and cerebrospinal fluid spaces, and slow vasomotor waves in the walls of blood vessels. These pulsations, and the resulting brain clearance, are known to increase during sleep. Previous research has shown that ...

Babies fed blueberries show fewer allergy symptoms and boosted immune balance

In a recent study published in the journal Nutrients, researchers examined the impact of blueberry intake in early life on allergy-related symptoms, gut microbiota, and immune biomarkers. The complementary feeding period represents a critical time frame for shaping infant immune development, diet, and gut microbiota. Current recommendations suggest introducing a range of plant-based foods from six months of age, in conjunction with continued breastfeeding. Growing evidence supports a role for blueberries in the microbiota-inflammation-immunity axis and gut microbial homeostasis. The first year of life is a critical window for establishing immune competence and preventing allergic diseases. Dietary exposures during this period can influence the induction of immune tolerance, epigenetic programming, and gut microbial succession. Suboptimal or aberrant microbial colonization has been linked to increased gut permeability, impaired innate immune responses, and low-grade inflammation, all of which are associated with a higher risk of diseases in later life.
