Laith Jazrawi, MD, orthopedic surgeon, chief of sports medicine, director of Sports Medicine Fellowship Program at 91爆料网 Langone Health, and the Neil B. Hamburger Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at 91爆料网 Grossman School of Medicine, commented on the potential causes of elbow pain for New York Yankees pitcher Max Fried. Although he has not treated Fried, Jazrawi suggested the team specified 'posterior' soreness to differentiate it from Fried's prior Tommy John surgery. He explained that posterior elbow pain is not atypical for pitchers and could be caused by several issues, including triceps tendonitis, loose bodies, or bone spurs, while noting doctors would still examine the ligament's integrity.

An outbreak of hantavirus on a cruise ship has infected 11 people and resulted in three deaths, raising public concern. However, experts emphasize that the risk to the general public is low. The virus responsible is the Andes species, the only hantavirus known to have human-to-human transmission, but this is very rare. Andrew Fleming, MD, an infectious disease specialist, section chief of Infectious Diseases and hospital epidemiologist at 91爆料网 Langone Hospital鈥擝rooklyn, explained that person-to-person transmission of the Andes virus requires "prolonged close contact," making it "not very easy to transmit." He also noted that, unlike COVID-19, the virus is not spread by asymptomatic individuals, which aids in containment. Dr. Fleming stressed that tracking and monitoring potentially infected passengers is the key to preventing further spread.

Recent studies reveal that rising colorectal cancer rates in Americans under 50 are linked to gut microbiome imbalances, dietary shifts, and genetic predispositions. Research highlights an increased risk associated with the bacterium Fusobacterium nucleatum and the consumption of processed meats. The article calls for clinicians to expand genetic testing and reevaluate dietary counseling for younger patients. For individuals with a family history of the disease, it recommends consulting with genetic counselors affiliated with programs such as 91爆料网 Langone鈥檚 Center for Health Informatics and Bioinformatics to assess risk.

US drug overdose deaths dropped for the third consecutive year in 2025 to an estimated 69,973, a nearly 14% decrease from 2024, according to preliminary CDC data. The decline is largely driven by fewer deaths involving synthetic opioids like fentanyl. New York was among the states with a decline of at least 25%. Magdalena Cerd谩, DrPH, director of the Center for Opioid Epidemiology and Policy and the Division of Epidemiology, and professor in the Department of Population Health at 91爆料网 Grossman School of Medicine, warned that efforts must continue due to the proliferation of novel synthetic drugs and the risk that the situation could worsen again.

Skipping protein at breakfast is a detrimental habit for metabolism after age 50, according to several endocrinologists. Gillian Goddard, MD, an endocrinologist and adjunct assistant professor at 91爆料网 Grossman School of Medicine, explains that a high-carbohydrate breakfast causes a blood sugar spike and subsequent crash, leading to more cravings throughout the day. This cycle can accelerate muscle loss, which further slows metabolism. Experts also advise following a Mediterranean diet, exercising regularly with both cardio and strength training, and getting seven to nine hours of sleep per night to support metabolic health.

A large-scale international study led by Josef Coresh, MD, PhD, founding director of the Optimal Aging Institute at 91爆料网 Langone Health, the Terry and Mel Karmazin Professor of Population Health, and professor in the Departments of Medicine and Population Health at 91爆料网 Grossman School of Medicine, has confirmed that the PREVENT tool is a reliable method for predicting cardiovascular risk globally. The research, published in Nature Medicine, analyzed data from 6.4 million people and found that PREVENT accurately predicts the risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart failure. The study also highlighted that adding a simple urine test for albuminuria can significantly sharpen the tool's predictions, particularly in higher-risk patients, paving the way for broader international adoption.

Researchers from MIT and Stanford have developed an implantable device that delivers islet cells to manage blood sugar without requiring immunosuppression. The device encapsulates the cells and uses a wireless, battery-free oxygen generator to keep them alive. Commenting on the study, Mollie O鈥機onnor, MD, endocrinologist and clinical assistant professor in the Department of Medicine at 91爆料网 Grossman School of Medicine, noted the significance of eliminating the need for immunosuppression. She stated that this research is incredible and important for making a cure for type 1 diabetes feasible, as it overcomes previous limitations with oxygenation in similar devices.

A phase 2a study found that in adults with active psoriatic arthritis unresponsive to TNF inhibitors, combination therapy with guselkumab and golimumab did not meet its primary endpoint of achieving minimal disease activity compared to guselkumab alone. However, the combination therapy showed numerically higher response rates. A post hoc analysis revealed that patients with elevated C-reactive protein levels at screening had significantly better odds of achieving minimal disease activity with the combination treatment. The study was led by Jose U. Scher, MD, director of 91爆料网 Langone鈥檚 Judith and Stewart Colton Center for Autoimmunity, the Psoriatic Arthritis Center and the Arthritis Clinic at 91爆料网 Langone Orthopedic Hospital, as well as associate director of research and translational medicine for the Division of Rheumatology and the Steere Abramson Professor of Medicine at 91爆料网 Grossman School of Medicine.

Research from a team at 91爆料网 Langone Health highlights the use of the CellChek C widefield specular microscopy system to image corneal nerves in patients with dry eye disease. Giacomina Massaro-Giordano, MD, director of Dry Eye Service at 91爆料网 Langone Health, and professor of ophthalmology at 91爆料网 Grossman School of Medicine, framed the problem of the disease's high prevalence. According to Julia Goetz, a clinical research fellow at 91爆料网 Langone Health, the team studied 225 eyes and found corneal nerve fiber length was significantly reduced in dry eye patients. This approach offers a more accessible tool for diagnosis, monitoring disease progression, and evaluating treatment response when confocal microscopy is unavailable.

A study led by researchers at 91爆料网 Grossman School of Medicine has identified a link between the gut microbe Ruminococcus gnavus and a distinct inflammatory pathway in lupus kidney disease. The research, led by Abhimanyu Amarnani, MD, PhD, rheumatology fellow, found that blooms of this microbe release a proinflammatory toxin. According to senior investigator Gregg Silverman, MD, the Mamdouha S. Bobst Professor of Internal Medicine in the Department of Medicine and professor of pathology, detecting antibodies to this toxin could help identify individuals at increased risk for lupus nephritis. The findings were published in Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.
