Breastfeeding women often choose not to take their medications because they worry about their baby; or stop breastfeeding because of their medicines. However, new research suggests that this is often unnecessary.
More clinically relevant tumors detected at an earlier stage and at lower costs: New research finds that AI can replace the second radiologist in the Dutch breast cancer screening program.
AI tools for adenoma polyp detection are designed to help increase the accuracy of colonoscopies. However, a new study finds that using AI may lead to loss of detection skills in health professionals.
New research suggests that KFRE, a common prognostic tool to predict kidney failure, could underestimate the risk for individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who also have frailty.
Denoising of diffusion-weighted MRI data creates sharper images – but does it actually lead to better diagnostic results? Researchers explored the impact of noise removal on detecting abnormalities.
Type 2 diabetes greatly increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes, anginas, and other coronary heart diseases. Therefore, biomarkers to predict individual risk are needed, experts say.
A multicenter study involving leading hospitals across Spain, has confirmed that people with COPD show altered levels of specific metabolites in their blood.
New research finds that neurosurgery students receiving AI-augmented, personalized feedback from a human instructor have better surgical performance, risk management and skill transfer.
A treatment commonly used for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), lowers the risk of serious cardiovascular events in some patients but not others, according to new research.
Classifying prostate cancer as “low-grade” could create a false sense of security and delay definitive treatments. A new study shows that the biopsy grade alone can paint an incomplete picture.
Chronic cough affects approximately 1 in 10 adults in the UK, but the causes are often unknown and treatment options limited. Now, a new study has identified neurological mechanisms as key drivers.
By analyzing CT images with 3D software, researchers demonstrated that small liver tumors can be successfully treated using ablation. This could enable more confident use of ablation treatments.
A new ventilation mode called proportional assist ventilation (PAV+) could improve outcomes for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who require help breathing, a new study finds.
Dense calcifications are common in breast tissue, but not every finding in a mammogram is a precursor of cancer. New insights could lead to fewer benign biopsies and guide therapeutic development.
Antibiotics are known for disrupting the microbiome in the gut and thus paving the way for diseases. However, many common non-antibiotics also have this effect, a new study shows.
Hand hygiene is among the most effective ways of infection control. Yet, a new study finds that a worrying number of people do not wash their hands after using a hospital toilet.
A new AI tool has been shown to accurately predict who would go on to develop leaks in the heart valves – conditions known as regurgitant valvular heart diseases, at a very early stage from an ECG.
From active monitoring to combinations of local and systemic treatment: A new study shows that most men with prostate cancer who receive treatment recommended by guidelines have a good prognosis.
Two dogs have been trained to distinguish between sebum swabs from people with and without Parkinson’s disease. This is especially relevant, as a definitive diagnostic test remains elusive.
