AI-Enabled Care Pathway: Shifting the Paradigm in Prostate Cancer Diagnosis

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide. As clinical guidelines increasingly recommend MRI before biopsy, prostate MRI has become a critical decision point in the diagnostic pathway. However, many imaging departments continue to face challenges such as long acquisition times, motion-sensitive exams, and labor-intensive post-processing.

How global warming turns the climate against the lungs

Heatwaves killing thousands of Europeans every summer, desert dust settling over cities that have never seen a desert, and floodwaters destroying entire valleys, leaving mouldy homes: The effects of global warming on lung health are becoming ever more apparent. At the European Respiratory Society’s ERS Congress in Barcelona, experts discussed how extreme heat, dust storms, and flooding impact healthcare. The session's speakers went on to detail not only the scale of the damage, but also the concrete policy and clinical responses already showing results.
