The ACC/ AHA in collaboration with 11 other societies have updated the recommendations for clinicians on the prevention, detection, evaluation & management of high blood pressure in adults.

GINA 2025 highlights personalized asthma care via the Assess–Adjust–Review cycle. Diagnosis is supported by clinical evaluation, spirometry/PEF, and biomarkers. ICS-formoterol is preferred for control and relief, with stepwise escalation.

A large NHANES analysis of 23,473 adults revealed a clear link between tooth loss and stroke risk. Each missing tooth increased stroke risk by 2% (OR 1.02), with complete tooth loss more than doubling the odds (OR 2.63). The findings spotlight oral health as a strong and modifiable factor in stroke prevention

A new meta-analysis from the Global Hidradenitis Suppurativa Atlas found that hidradenitis suppurativa affects nearly 1% of the global population (0.99%), exceeding earlier estimates. Pooled data from 22,743 participants revealed striking regional variability, with female sex emerging as the only key factor linked to prevalence (β=1.02). Other factors, including age, BMI, and smoking status, showed no association.

Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) amplified CV risk in T2DM patients even without obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Those with CMD faced higher rates of MACE (29.7% vs. 10.4%) and CV mortality (7.8% vs. 2.6%) vs. those without CMD. It also independently predicted MACE (HR 2.41), MI (HR 2.28), & heart failure hospitalization (HR 2.85), highlighting its role as a key target for early risk assessment.

Despite full vaccination, children in Kerala and Tamil Nadu showed notable immunity gaps. 90.8% had measles-specific IgG, and 91.5% had protective neutralizing antibodies. Girls exhibited higher antibody titers than males, maternal antibody levels increased with age, and measles-specific IgM profiles differed among siblings. Neutralizing antibody levels remained stable regardless of vaccine doses.
