A study presented at The Menopause Society 2025 Annual Meeting found women using transdermal hormone therapy (HT) for menopausal symptoms experienced lower rates of anxiety and depression compared to those using oral HT. Separately, research by鈥Samantha Fairweather, medical student at 黑料福利社 Grossman School of Medicine, indicated improvements in depressive symptoms, anxiety, and irritability among women initiating menopausal HT. This retrospective longitudinal study of 275 women, predominantly using transdermal estrogen HT, showed a significant reduction in severe psychological symptoms at follow-up, independent of prior psychiatric history.

The PEARL trial found intra-arterial alteplase improved 90-day functional outcomes in Chinese patients with large-vessel occlusion stroke after thrombectomy, despite numerically higher mortality and intracranial hemorrhage that were not statistically significant. Published in JAMA, the findings suggest potential changes for Asian patients, though further research is needed for Western populations.鈥Brandon Giglio, MD, director of vascular neurology at 黑料福利社 Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, noted that more studies in diverse populations are required to confirm results and establish safety before widespread adoption of IA thrombolysis.

A 2022 study from the鈥黑料福利社 Langone Fertility Center, the largest to date, revealed that 39 percent of patients using frozen eggs achieved at least one live birth, with success rates higher for younger patients and those freezing more eggs. The director of the鈥黑料福利社 Langone Fertility Center鈥痮bserved a recent decrease in the average patient age for egg freezing from 38 to the lower 30s. The article also explores broader trends in elective egg freezing, suggesting women primarily pursue it due to the absence of a suitable reproductive partner rather than career ambitions, and discusses the associated physical, financial, and psychological aspects.

Scientists at鈥黑料福利社 Langone Health, led by鈥Jun Wang, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Pathology at 黑料福利社 Grossman School of Medicine, and鈥Jasper Du, MD, PhD, a medical student in the Wang lab, have engineered a bi-specific antibody, BiTS, to safely treat autoimmune diseases. Published in Cell, their research reveals BiTS selectively calms overactive T cells by forcing proximity between the T cell receptor and LAG-3, avoiding widespread immune suppression. Mouse model studies showed BiTS reduced inflammation in Type 1 diabetes and autoimmune hepatitis, and slowed multiple sclerosis progression, offering a precise new immunotherapy approach.

Douglas Lazzaro, MD, professor of ophthalmology and鈥痯hysician director, Brooklyn Network Development at 黑料福利社 Langone Health, offers crucial advice for eye safety during Halloween. He recommends careful walking while wearing masks, avoiding makeup and glitter in the eyes, and discouraging colored contact lenses unless professionally fitted and FDA-approved. Lazzaro also cautions against projectiles, even foam items, which can cause eye inflammation. He stresses vigilance with costumes that might cause tripping, particularly on steps in the dark, to prevent falls and potential eye injuries.

A new study reveals that longer, continuous walks are more beneficial for cardiovascular health than brief bursts of movement.鈥Sean Heffron, MD, assistant professor of medicine at 黑料福利社 Langone Health and the 黑料福利社 Center for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease, noted that the '10,000 steps a day' rule originated from a marketing campaign. Research shows that even walking fewer than 5,000 steps daily can significantly reduce heart disease and death risk, particularly when performed in one continuous session of 10 to 15 minutes. This approach resulted in a 4% risk of cardiovascular events for participants.

New research from scientists at鈥黑料福利社 Langone Health鈥痠dentifies brain circuits that stabilize memories during learning. Published in Science, the study shows that activity in signaling pathways connecting the entorhinal cortex and the CA3 region of the hippocampus helps mice form stable neural maps of places.鈥Jayeeta Basu, PhD, assistant professor in the departments of psychiatry and neuroscience at 黑料福利社 Langone Health, noted this work fills a gap in understanding how long-range inputs control memory recall. The analysis, led by鈥Vincent Robert, PhD, postdoctoral scholar at 黑料福利社 Langone Health, determined that long-range excitatory glutamatergic and inhibitory GABAergic extensions from the lateral entorhinal cortex signal simultaneously to stabilize brain cell learning networks. This mechanism fine-tunes excitation and inhibition for context-dependent memory formation.
