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.
The earlier Alzheimer's disease is detected, the more effective treatments become. Now, a Finnish study shows that signs related to Alzheimer’s may already be found in the brain in middle age.
By directing radiologists' attention to potentially suspicious areas, AI can help spot more lesions indicative of breast cancer in mammograms. This is suggested by a new study.
When someone is infected with a virus, traces of it are shed in their bodily waste and end up in the sewage system. Thus, combined wastewater and individual testing can benefit public health response.
Women with type 2 diabetes are nearly twice as likely as men to have hidden heart damage, according to a major new study. This could lead to sex-specific risk assessment and treatments.
A neural network AI has been trained to detect cardiac amyloidosis from a single echocardiogram video of the heart's apical four-chamber view and differentiate it from similar heart conditions.
Women suffering from premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or the more severe form, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease, a new study shows.
A new study shows that retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) can eliminate hallucinations in clinical large language models (LLMs) while protecting patient privacy during contrast media consultations.
Using cardiac MRI, researchers have found that long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with early signs of heart damage, according to a new study.
Starting fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) early significantly reduces both the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer. These results of a new study support earlier screening.
Too many medicines, too many hospital visits: Inappropriate polypharmacy is a major driver of emergency hospital admissions among adults aged 65 and over, according to a new study.
More consistent TIL assessments, more accurate patients' prognoses: New research shows how AI sharpens pathologists' interpretation of tissue samples for malignant melanoma.
Molecular profiling of over 1,000 nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) tumours reveals distinct differences in tumour microenvironment of locoregionally advanced NPC, supporting personalised treatment.
An ultra-thin implant could repair injuries to the spinal cord with carefully controlled electrical current. This could help restore movement and revert loss of sensation, the researchers hope.
Should tracheobronchial anastomoses be routinely wrapped following resection and reconstruction? A new study revisits this unresolved question in airway surgery.
