Why the cTnI/cTnT Ratio May Matter: A New Signal for Distinguishing Acute Necrotic From Chronic Myocardial Injury

By MedXY 05/12/2026

A large multicohort and experimental study suggests the cTnI/cTnT ratio is biologically informative, separates acute from chronic myocardial injury, and modestly improves type 1 versus type 2 MI discrimination.

MRD Does Not Consistently Predict PFS Across Modern CLL Trials: Why Surrogacy Depends on Therapy, Duration, and Sample Source

By MedXY 05/04/2026

A large meta-analysis shows MRD strongly predicts outcomes for individual patients with CLL, but is an inconsistent trial-level surrogate for progression-free survival, particularly with BTK inhibitor and venetoclax-based regimens.

Urinary Free Cortisol Thresholds Sharpen the Differential Diagnosis of ACTH-Dependent Cushing’s Syndrome

By MedXY 05/03/2026

A Spanish multicenter validation study shows that urinary free cortisol expressed as multiples of the upper limit of normal can meaningfully stratify the likelihood of ectopic ACTH secretion versus Cushing’s disease.
