This cohort study shows that the number of infants in Sweden who do not receive intramuscular vitamin K administration at birth to prevent bleeding episodes continues to be low but is increasing, and these infants have a significantly higher associated risk of bleeding episodes, including intracranial hemorrhages. These findings suggest the importance of intramuscular vitamin K administration in the newborn period to prevent bleeding episodes and the need for continued education of parents and caregivers on its significance.

The Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (SVP) recognizes the public excitement surrounding the upcoming auction of "Gus," an exceptionally complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton. While spectacular dinosaur fossils capture the imaginations of people around the world, SVP emphasizes that specimens of this scientific importance represent far more than rare collectibles.

SVP's longstanding position is that scientifically significant vertebrate fossils should be permanently curated in accredited museums, universities, and other public research institutions where they remain available for scientific investigation, education, and public exhibition. These institutions ensure that specimens are preserved, documented, and accessible for future generations.

A new report in The Lancet Haematology, led by Cleveland Clinic hematologist Bethany Samuelson Bannow, M.D., outlines practical strategies to improve diagnosis, care and outcomes globally for women and girls with hematological conditions, such as bleeding disorders, heavy menstrual bleeding, postpartum hemorrhage, thrombosis and maternal hematologic complications.

The Commission on Global Female Health and Haematology highlights the need for earlier diagnosis, more consistent treatment, and stronger research and education for hematological conditions. Drawing on evidence from clinical care, research, public health and policy, the findings from the Lancet Haematology Commission were presented at the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) 2026 Congress in Paris, France.

A major, USC-led study of more than 214,000 older adults across 14 countries and regions finds that the most common controllable risk factors for dementia — such as low education, high blood pressure and smoking — vary widely from country to country, meaning a one-size-fits-all approach to prevention won’t work everywhere.

Bradley A. Maron, MD, Senior Associate Dean for Precision Medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM), has been named editor-in-chief of Circulation, the American Heart Association's flagship peer-reviewed journal and one of the world's leading scientific publications in cardiovascular medicine. In his new role, Dr. Maron will help shape the journal's editorial direction and its ongoing publication of rigorous, practice-changing science for clinicians and researchers worldwide.

The University of Stuttgart has once again achieved the highest possible score in the “Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure” category of the Times Higher Education (THE) global sustainability rating and is ranked first worldwide.

Penn State College of Medicine received a five-year, $2.5 million grant from the Human Resources and Services Administration, an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, to support a new street medicine program that will serve unsheltered populations in both urban and rural areas in southcentral Pennsylvania and to train the next generation of physicians in street medicine.
