Researchers estimate that around 1.99 million deaths per year worldwide are attributable to ultrafine particles smaller than 100 nanometers – with around half of these due to cardiovascular disease.
Detecting genetic mutations associated with lung cancer via laboratory tests can be expensive and time-consuming, and use up valuable tissue from small biopsy samples. A new approach aims to fix this.
A new digital therapy platform, for use on mobile devices or computers, aims to help carers looking after people with dementia, reducing anxiety and depression levels.
The presence of certain bacteria in the gut microbiota, and fluctuations in a person’s metabolism, have been identified as potential biomarkers for type 2 diabetes years before its onset.
A multicenter randomized clinical trial shows that real-time AI-assisted colonoscopy significantly improves adenoma detection among individuals at high risk for colorectal cancer.
Language barriers and culture clash: Two new studies point out sources of frustrations among Ukrainian refugees with the Danish healthcare system – and how to fix them.
Rare diseases are anything but, with half a million patients in Sweden alone. Still, diagnostic expertise is often limited among healthcare professionals. A new study explores ways to change this.
Using dual mobility total hip replacements (DM-THR) instead of the standard THR approach greatly reduces the likelihood of dislocation post-surgery, a new study finds.
The microbes living in the human gut influence metabolism, immunity, and cardiovascular health. A new study now suggests they may also be closely connected to Alzheimer's disease.
Slower recovery, more complications, longer monitoring: People with diabetes face considerably worse long-term effects after a coronavirus infection – also known as long Covid, a new study shows.
Researchers have found a way to avoid second surgery for unborn babies with a severe diaphragmatic defect. To complete the procedure, the mother now only has to take a short stroll.
A new portable ultrasound system could make breast imaging more accessible. The device generates high-res, 3D images of breast tissue, requires no expertise to operate and could be used at home.
Researchers have developed a new lab model to study BAP1-deficient melanomas, a rare type of melanoma that evade the immune system once they metastasize and are resistant to current immunotherapies.
Improvements in arm and hand function, tactile and body awareness: Researchers have developed a rehabilitation platform for stroke survivors, which combines VR with targeted sensory nerve stimulation.
Why do patients discontinue their medication? Using large language models, researchers analysed medical records to assess the most common reasons. This could help better understand treatment pathways.
A pilot study shows that immunotherapy may enable stimulation of egg maturation in women with premature menopause. Three out of ten women gave birth to healthy babies following the treatment.
A simple bedside eye test may help predict recovery of consciousness in patients with severe brain injuries, according to new research.
AI models can now assess breast cancer risk directly from changes in screening mammograms over time, a new study shows. This opens the door to a new era of dynamic breast cancer risk assessment.
A cross-University paper led by researchers at Queen Mary University of London shows how better ‘digital twins’ could help doctors treating people with Atrial Fibrillation.
