This principle is fundamental to understanding vascular resistance and how small changes in vessel tone can significantly affect tissue oxygen delivery and blood pressure regulation. #healthcare #health
Why can a tiny change in blood vessel diameter dramatically alter blood flow? The Hagen–Poiseuille equation reveals the power of the fourth: double the vessel radius, and blood flow increases 16-fold, assuming all other factors remain constant! A beautiful example of how physics explains vascular physiology — and why arterioles play such a crucial role in regulating tissue perfusion.

Results of two late-breaking trials presented at #ASCO26 show that ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy improved overall survival, and sunvozertinib improved progression-free survival, for patients with #NSCLC. Read our latest #CancerScope: acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wi… @OncoAlert

In a new study, a single long-read test found the genetic cause for about 35% of the 31 participants whose previous testing couldn’t explain their symptoms. forbes.com/sites/williamhase…

HELEN-Trio 011 | Can We Treat TNBC Without Anthracyclines? A promising phase III trial — but is it practice-changing? Part 1 — The Big Question Can we simplify neoadjuvant treatment for stage II–III TNBC by avoiding anthracyclines? Part 2 — The Good News Adding camrelizumab to docetaxel–carboplatin significantly improved pCR: 57.5% vs 45.4% (P = 0.014, one-sided). Part 3 — The Survival Question 2-year EFS: 89.7% vs 86.4% HR 0.67 (95% CI 0.34–1.33). Encouraging, but not statistically significant. Severe toxicity was manageable. Part 4 — Why NOT Practice-Changing? - No direct comparison with KEYNOTE-522. - Survival benefit remains unproven. - Anthracycline omission has not been proven noninferior. - Apparent safety advantages require direct comparison. My Take-Home: Improving pCR is encouraging. But before removing anthracyclines from a curative regimen, we need confidence that long-term outcomes are preserved. Promising de-escalation. Not yet practice-changing. 📖 Reference: Jiao D et al. HELEN-Trio 011. Annals of Oncology, 2026.

Potassium binders lower potassium in #HeartFailure w/ reduced ejection fraction, but 4 trials show inconsistent support for mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist use & no proven benefit on death/hospitalization. Hypokalemia remains a safety signal. bit.ly/4illp52 #JACC

How does acoramidis compare with tafamidis in real-world ATTR-CM care? Dr. Richard Wright and I discuss the first peer-reviewed, real-world comparative effectiveness study of TTR stabilizers using U.S. claims data. #Acoramidis was associated with a 34% lower risk of clinical worseningand a 43% lower risk of diuretic intensificationcompared with #tafamidis. Listen to explore the findings and their potential implications for ATTR-CM treatment decisions. s/b BridgeBio clinicaltrialresults.org/wp-…

What do you make of this ECG? Sometimes, the ECG tells a story the patient hasn’t heard yet. (And one or two more little details in the ECG—but nothing the patient needs to worry about.) ⚠️50mm/s

LCA aneurysm with thrombus - not to be confused with a fat pad in the transverse sinus #echofirst 👀
KD with a giant RCA LAD aneurysm despite IVIG on illness day 5. Coronary thrombosis developed 2 weeks later, highlighting the risk of thrombotic complications associated with giant coronary artery aneurysms. @iamritu @CASivaram1 @loomba_rohit @argulian @SIwa23288585 @swatigar

Daraxonrasib: The FDA Label Controversy Part 1: The breakthrough — OS 13.2 vs 6.7 months. Why the FDA label sparked debate. Part 2: The controversial “OR” — evidence versus patient access. Part 3: The real-world gap — why most patients never reach second-line therapy. Part 4: The unanswered questions — frontline evidence, cost and clinical judgment. Take-home: A flexible label may improve access, but approval ≠ proven benefit for everyone. Subbiah & Kurzrock | Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology (2026) doi.org/10.1038/s41571-026-0…
