A novel subretinal implant could help patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) partially restore eyesight, a new study shows. Participants recovered their ability to read letters, numbers and words.
An international team has developed an AI model that brings together medical imaging data and clinical information to calculate the risk of breast cancer tumour recurrence more accurately.
The bigger the baby, the bigger the risk: A new study shows that the birthweight of a preterm infant is linked to its mother's risk of getting cardiovascular disease later in life.
After a stroke, traditional rehabilitation often relies on repetitive exercises that can be physically demanding and demotivating for patients. A new study explores the potential of virtual reality (VR) to solve these issues.
Many doctors shy away from discussing the aspect of a treatment's sustainability with their patients, expecting a negative reaction. Now, a new study suggests that these fears may be unfounded.
To help repair soft tissue injuries of the gastrointestinal tract like ulcers or hemorrhages, EPFL researchers envision a new class of device: a pill-sized, swallowable bioprinter.
Traditional diagnostic methods for epilepsy face significant limitations. A new clinical trial explores the potential of advanced brain monitoring to improve diagnosis and management of the condition.
Researchers identified a targeted way to protect the brain from harmful side effects of cranial radiation therapy, potentially preserving the quality of life for millions of brain cancer survivors.
In the NICU, a few hours can mean the difference between unnecessary procedures and targeted, life-saving treatment. A new speed record for WGS opens new diagnostic possibilities.
A novel imaging solution, called PSMA PET scanning, can more effectively detect the recurrence of prostate cancer compared to standard methods, and is associated with improved survival outcomes.
An AI system that can predict what a patient’s knee X-ray will look like a year in the future could transform how millions of people with osteoarthritis understand and manage their condition.
It is known that depression is linked to increased incidence of metabolic diseases; now scientists have discovered that different types of depression are linked to different cardiometabolic diseases.
Chronic fatigue (ME/CFS) affects millions worldwide, but is poorly understood and has long lacked reliable diagnostic tools. Now, a new blood test claims to diagnose the condition with 96% accuracy.
Breast cancer claims around 670.000 lives each year. Now, researchers propose that whole genome sequencing (WGS) could help many patients find better treatments or match them with clinical trials.
GLP-1 receptor agonists are widely prescribed for individuals with diabetes and weight loss. However, these medications may adversely affect the interpretation of cancer imaging, new research finds.
Dizziness upon standing up or during exertion: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) affects almost a third of patients with severe long Covid, a new study finds.
Using PET/CT imaging, researchers discovered that the biological activity of visceral fat may drive the progression of endometrial cancer, offering a novel angle for diagnosis and treatment.
Breast cancer survivors are often discouraged from undergoing hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to alleviate menopause symptoms. Now, new research paints a more differentiated picture.
Children with asthma using at-home monitoring are around half as likely to visit the ED or be hospitalised, compared to those only receiving care from their medical team, new research shows.
