Multikingdom microbial biomarker test for autism risk assessment aids earlier diagnosis & intervention

30 Dec 2025 by

Researchers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) have developed the world’s first artificial intelligence (AI)–powered multikingdom microbial biomarker test for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) risk assessment. By accurately excluding ASD in low-risk cases, the test may facilitate earlier diagnosis and intervention in high-risk groups.

Bladder preservation possible in select MIBC patients

29 Dec 2025 by

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) with transurethral resection (TUR) for bladder preservation is feasible for some patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) who meet established selection criteria, suggests a study. However, recurrence may occur beyond 10 years, warranting lifetime surveillance.
