Millions of people around the world live with cardiac arrhythmias. Only in Spain, it is estimated that more than one million citizens suffer from them. Detecting and treating them accurately continues to be one of the great challenges of cardiovascular medicine.
Having a coronary artery calcium (CAC) score of zero has generally been accepted as a marker of a very low risk of having a cardiac event within the next five years. However, age is a strong contributor to coronary risk, with risk increasing markedly as people age.
Inga Rødahl from the Center for Infectious Medicine (CIM) at the Department of Medicine, Huddinge (MedH) is defending her thesis, titled “Features of innate lymphoid cells in human fetal tissues and adult respiratory infection,” on 4 April, 2025. The main supervisor is Jakob Michaëlsson (MedH).
A recent study by KI-researchers Nadia Davoody and Sravya Katta reveals significant gaps related to health care professionals’ awareness of gender diversity, proper communication strategies, the specific needs of transgender, nonbinary, and intersex (TNBI) individuals, and the societal and structural challenges they face.
The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) has released a groundbreaking consensus statement on conduction system pacing (CSP), marking a significant milestone in the evolution of pacing therapy.

A new study published in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior highlights critical constructs essential for addressing dietary inequalities and promoting overall health.
During development, cells grow, expand, and migrate to generate tissues and organs in a highly controlled manner. Many intracellular pathways—series of signaling cascades within a cell—regulate these actions to avoid non-programmed growth that could lead to malformations or cancer. One of these pathways is the PTEN / PI3K axis, a complex series of perfectly balanced chemical reactions.
Americans are increasingly waiting weeks or even months to get an appointment to see a health care specialist.
Stimming—short for “self-stimulatory behavior”—is a form of self-soothing commonly seen in autistic people. It can involve repetitive movements, sounds, or actions and is commonly regarded in medical literature as part of “rigid and repetitive behavior.”
By analyzing DNA and proteins in the blood of people with and without acute spinal cord injuries (SCIs), researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have developed a novel blood test that has the potential to rapidly predict the severity and likelihood of sensory and motor recovery within six months in a cost-effective manner.
