Article • Choosing the right modality for expectant mothers
Imaging pregnant women with acute abdominal pain remains a significant clinical challenge – not only because of concerns about the impact on the unborn child, but also due to the anatomical changes that can obscure diagnosis. At the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna, radiologists Vikas Shah and Charis Bourgioti examined the protocols for safe imaging in pregnancy and the management of abdominal emergencies in expectant mothers.
Alzheimer's disease is probably the best-known form of neurodegenerative disease, which is usually characterised by a progressive loss of cognitive, emotional and social abilities. But what…
Male and female patients should not receive the same treatment - but that is just the beginning: Increasing awareness of patient diversity leads to changes in diagnostics, therapy regimen, but also…
From solid tumors to metastatic carcinomas and leukemia: cancer is among the most common causes of death. Keep reading for latest developments in early detection, staging, therapy and research.
Radiology, sonography and beyond: Keep reading to find out how imaging techniques like MRI, CT and ultrasound can be used in the diagnosis of diseases and the guidance of medical procedures.
Measuring radiodensity of visceral fat and muscle from CT scans, researchers have identified a new biomarker that may help determine the prognosis for patients with gastric cancer.
A new high-res PET scanner is making its clinical debut at UZ Leuven. The scanner makes it possible to detect earliest signs of brain diseases, years before a patient experiences the first symptoms.
Advanced multiparametric MRI performed before kidney tumor surgery could help identify patients at higher risk for kidney function decline and chronic kidney disease after nephrectomy.
From clinical chemistry to digital pathology: Read more about how modern medical laboratories and procedures in pathology play a vital role in the detection and prevention of diseases and in medical research.
AI is transforming the way cancer is diagnosed and treated. Dr Yuri Tolkach shared his group's advances in developing AI-based tools for oncological pathology at the DPAI Europe congress.
At which point does Alzheimer’s disease pathology lead to dementia? Researchers identified distinct mechanisms in the brain, which could represent an important target for future therapies.
Invasive fungal infections are silent, fast-moving, and notoriously hard to catch in time. The FUJIFILM Wako β-D-Glucan Test on the LIMUSAVE MT-7500 gives clinical laboratories a quantitative,…
Medical innovations are rapidly expanding therapy options for many diseases. Keep reading to find more information on new therapies, surgical techniques, effective medication and patient care.
Radiopharmaceutical therapy has already transformed care for neuroendocrine tumors and prostate cancer, but other tumor types still lack targeted treatment options. A new approach could change this.
A new survey highlights major gaps in cardio-oncology training, despite its increasing clinical importance for prevention and early management of cardiovascular complications in patients with cancer.
For patients with knee osteoarthritis, for whom injections no longer provide sufficient relief, but joint replacement is also not an option, a minimally invasive treatment might offer an alternative.
Fragmented care pathways, persistent data gaps and a ‘postcode lottery’ of services continue to undermine the quality of healthcare for women across the United Kingdom. At the HETT25 conference…
"Let's book you in": AI chatbots are generally seen as a welcome tool for managing medical screening appointments. However, too much of a good thing can backfire, a new study finds.
The pharmaceutical industry has spent more than a decade discussing the digital factory, yet many of the same challenges remain: meeting regulatory expectations around data integrity, improving…
Seeking health information online does not automatically improve people’s health behaviour, finds a new study. The results show the need for improving digital literacy to reduce health inequalities.
Improved detection of clinical errors and time-saving on the one hand, inadequate training on the other: the latest Future Health Index points out benefits and challenges of medical AI integration.
Engineers have developed a noninvasive pacemaker that stimulates the heart using ultrasound. The design could one day provide a surgery-free alternative to traditional cardiac implants.
When scientific curiosity paves the way for improved healthcare: Read more about promising studies and trials that lead to more effective drugs, procedures as well as medical guidelines.
A new experimental compound, called OLE, helps the brain enclose and contain beta-amyloid plaques – a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease –, reducing their size and toxicity.
A new study uncovers new factors associated with ICP, a pregnancy-related liver disease. The findings open up new avenues for research into maternal health and pregnancy-related liver diseases.
A Taiwanese research team found that BET inhibitors can restore exhausted T cells by reprogramming their metabolism – a potential new strategy for cancer immunotherapy.
