More biomarkers for better insights on Alzheimer's disease: a new study explores how a panel of seven proteins could help predict disease progression and inform more accurate treatment choices.
How does performing robotic surgery exact stress on surgeons? A new study monitored brain, muscle, and heart activity to improve surgical training, operating-room design, and surgeon well-being.
A diffusion MRI metric can detect changes in white matter tracts not visible on conventional MRI – this could help identify early abnormalities in the brain associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
The cause of hallucinations and delusions that start in midlife or later is often unclear. In a new study, PET/MR scans reveal that these symptoms may be linked to brain changes also seen in dementia.
A new study links metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD, formerly NAFLD) to an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, and other metabolic complications.
A novel study shows that exposure to air pollution, especially fine particulate matter (PM2.5), is associated with increased disease activity and flare risk in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
A new study has identified a way to reshape the gut microbiome that can enhance the delivery of certain chemotherapies to tumors, making these nanoparticle-based cancer drugs more effective.
Strong compression is important for people with venous leg ulcers, to improve blood flow and support healing. Now, a study explores the pros and cons of different bandages, wraps, and stockings.
Transgender and gender diverse individuals undergoing gender-affirming mastectomy (‘top surgery’) often lack information on how the procedure will affect breast cancer risk, a new study finds.
PET/CT can add valuable information to aid the diagnosis of fever of unknown origin (FUO), directly influencing the clinical management in nearly 75% of patients, a new study finds.
Results from a recently published clinical trial suggest that combining focused ultrasound with chemotherapy may improve tumor response and survival outcomes in patients with pancreatic cancer.
Chemotherapy of many childhood cancers leaves specific traces in the DNA, a new study finds. These changes could help clinicians spot treatment resistance earlier, before cancer returns or spreads.
A common diabetes test could miss the condition in people with sickle cell trait, new research suggests. Understanding this limitation of immunoassay testing could help guide protocols and policies.
A newly developed AI system analyzes surgeons’ techniques during prostate cancer surgery, helping identify the surgical movements associated with the best patient outcomes.
Many countries are using too many powerful and inappropriate antibiotics, fuelling antibiotic resistance concerns, according to a major international study of antibiotic use.
Low brain metabolism as measured from 18F-FDG PET/CT is associated with higher mortality in patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), according to new research.
What happens in the brain during anaesthesia? A novel brainwave monitoring method could help lower the risk of intraoperative awareness, postoperative delirium, and long-term cognitive decline.
Tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes are key players in cancer immunotherapy. New research explores the role of location in the tumour microenvironment – knowledge that could help improve treatments.
In a study, researchers found unusually high levels of urea in the brains of people with frontotemporal dementia and ALS. The findings raise questions about how the brain clears harmful substances.
