Brad Hoylman-Sigal’s ridiculous, pompous crusade to save … an NYC movie theater
New York Post
An editorial criticizes Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal’s vow to oppose any potential rezoning of a building on Second Ave. that NYU Langone is under contract to purchase for clinical space unless it includes a cinema. The article describes it as a cynical move to appeal to local residents concerned about increased traffic. It contrasts the politician's demand for a movie theater with the benefits of expanding a world-class medical center and creating hundreds of jobs.

AI may help catch heart transplant rejection without biopsies
Medical Xpress
A new study led by NYU Langone Health researchers suggests that artificial intelligence can accurately detect heart transplant rejection by analyzing electrocardiograms and blood tests, potentially reducing the need for invasive biopsies. The team's AI model, combining EKG data and blood biomarkers, correctly identified 94% of patients not experiencing rejection in a test group. According to senior author Lior Jankelson, MD, PhD, an associate professor in the Leon H. Charney Division of Cardiology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, this approach could enable earlier diagnosis and treatment.

The first FDA-cleared clinical trials for pig kidney transplants are underway, with United Therapeutics launching its EXPAND trial at NYU Langone Health. The trial will initially involve six patients and may expand to 50. A competing trial from eGenesis is also active at Mass General Brigham. The article contrasts this progress with a different approach—growing human organs inside pigs—which has been stalled for a decade due to an NIH funding pause over ethical concerns. More than 550,000 Americans live with kidney failure, highlighting the urgent need for transplant solutions.

How the anesthesia bottleneck became every specialty’s problem
Becker's ASC Review
Anesthesia provider shortages are becoming a primary bottleneck for ambulatory surgery centers, affecting specialties like gastroenterology, cardiology, and orthopedics. According to the article, the U.S. is projected to face a significant shortage of anesthesiologists and certified registered nurse anesthetists. Seth A. Gross, MD, deputy director of the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at NYU Langone Health, stated that these shortages restrict patient access and anesthesia reimbursement has not kept pace with rising costs. Experts recommend that specialties reduce dependency on anesthesia providers through measures like competency training in moderate sedation.

The American Academy of Pediatrics released an updated policy statement advising pregnant people and parents of young children to avoid unpasteurized milk products due to infection risks. The statement's lead author is Adam J. Ratner, MD, professor in the Departments of Pediatrics and Microbiology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, and director of the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at NYU Langone Health, with co-author Anne T. Sardi, MD, clinical assistant professor in the Department of Pediatrics at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Published in 'Pediatrics', the guidance cites dangers from Listeria, E. coli, and the emerging threat of H5N1 bird flu. According to the authors, nearly half of illnesses from raw dairy consumption occur in people under age 20. The AAP also renewed its call for a ban on raw milk sales.

Your patient lost weight on a GLP-1. Can you trust the eGFR?
Medscape
An article by Yonathan Daniel, MD, a third-year internal medicine resident at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, examines whether weight loss from GLP-1 agonists affects the accuracy of creatinine-based eGFR tests for kidney function. The piece addresses clinicians' concerns that muscle loss could artificially inflate eGFR results, citing two recent trial analyses that did not find evidence of this effect. The article also discusses the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes 2024 guideline, which recommends using a combined creatinine-cystatin C equation for a more accurate GFR estimate when clinical decisions are impacted.

Clinical forum highlights shifting paradigm in NF1 plexiform neurofibroma care
NeurologyLive
At a clinical forum, Jessica D. Schulte, MD, PhD, a neuro-oncologist and administrative director of the Adolescent and Young Adult Neuro-Oncology Program at NYU Langone's Brain and Spine Tumor Center, discussed the changing treatment paradigm for patients with NF1-associated plexiform neurofibromas. She explained that earlier recognition and systemic therapies, such as MEK inhibitors, are becoming central to care, as surgery is rarely a lasting solution. Schulte highlighted that for this condition, which often goes unrecognized, treatment success is measured by improvements in pain and quality of life rather than by tumor volume reduction alone.

Making global public health more proactive with Google Earth AI
Google Blog
Google is using its Earth AI to provide public health teams with advanced predictive tools for proactive prevention. The technology combines environmental signals, satellite imagery, and mobility data to bridge critical gaps. In new research, researchers at NYU Langone Health integrated real-time population signals into chronic disease models to project same-year cardiovascular mortality with performance comparable to or better than conventional methods. Other partners include Mount Sinai Health System, which tracked cross-border immunization rates, and the World Health Organization, which mapped Ebola transmission risks in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

People who never seem rattled usually grew up in homes where 6 things were normal
Style Girlfriend Blog
People who are calm as adults often grew up in homes where emotional expression was allowed, conflicts were repaired, and parents modeled level-headedness. The article outlines six environmental factors that foster emotional regulation, citing various psychological studies. This includes work from the lab of Karen E. Adolph, PhD, professor in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Her studies found that infants consistently defer to a parent’s emotional signals when faced with ambiguous situations, which helps them learn to manage crises effectively later in life.

Study suggests sugar-rich foods amplify antibiotic disruption of the gut microbiome
Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP)
A study in Nature, co-led by researchers at NYU Langone Health, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and City of Hope, found that sugar-rich foods worsen the gut microbiome disruption caused by antibiotics. The research, which followed blood cancer patients, showed that higher sugar intake after antibiotic use decreased bacterial diversity. Co-senior author Jonas Schluter, PhD, an assistant professor in the Department of Microbiology at NYU Langone Health, stated that sugars exacerbate the damage antibiotics cause. The findings suggest that reducing sugar intake while on antibiotics could help protect the microbiome.

The proposed 20% Medicare cut pushing this specialty to the brink
Becker's ASC Review
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has proposed a 20% cut to physician reimbursement for total hip and knee replacements, set to take effect in 2027. This proposal comes after a previous 8% reduction. Orthopedic surgeons interviewed express concerns that the cuts could threaten private practice viability and reduce Medicare patient access to care. Joseph D. Zuckerman, MD, chair of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at NYU Langone Health, stated that because the health system uses an RVU-based compensation system, the impact would be significant, and options might include changing how operative cases measure productivity.

A new study puts the heat on gas stoves for commercial kitchen air pollution
WDC News 6
A new peer-reviewed study co-conducted by researchers from the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, Stanford, and PSE Healthy Energy found that workers in commercial kitchens with gas appliances are exposed to air pollution and heat levels that exceed health guidelines. Published in Environmental Research Letters, the research revealed that about 70% of gas kitchens surpassed the EPA's 1-hour outdoor air standard for nitrogen dioxide, with some also exceeding limits for carbon monoxide and benzene. In comparison, no all-electric kitchens exceeded these pollution-exposure health guidelines during cooking hours.
