Researchers have discovered that low physical activity is associated with a higher risk of lymphedema. They have also noted that a lymph scanner objectively measures changes in the condition.
A simple blood test that can very accurately predict the chance of survival with good recovery could be of great significance for patients in intensive care after a cardiac arrest.
Radiotherapy is effective against prostate cancer but can cause side effects. Using AI, scientists found that images originally taken to help position patients could also predict rectal bleeding.
Can CT-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR-CT) be used in patients with angina to predict future major cardiovascular events? A novel AI-based approach for CCTA analysis yields promising results.
Despite significant advances in the treatment of atrial fibrillation, a new Danish study shows that social inequities in survival have remained virtually unchanged over the past 20 years.
In an epidemic setting, even a small proportion of citizens who do not follow public health measures can amplify the spread of contagions and make them expand faster, a new study reveals.
Even minor functional impairments of the kidneys can have serious consequences for patients after major surgery. New biomarkers could help identify high-risk patients at an early stage.
Breast cancer screening for women under 50 isn't cost-effective – yet 1 in 5 diagnoses occurs in this age group. A new study suggests a personalised approach that could change this equation.
A novel AI-based method can distinguish between progressive brain tumours and radiotherapy-induced necrosis on advanced MRI. This could help clinicians more accurately identify and treat the issues.
A first-of-its-kind study could lead to quicker and more targeted support for vulvodynia - a painful chronic condition estimated to affect more than one in 10 women with no known cause.
After T-cell redirecting therapies, patients are typically hospitalized for several days to watch for side effects. New research shows that these patients can safely be monitored at home.
New immunotherapies are effective against skin cancer, but they can cause serious side effects. New insights suggest that a lower dosage may lead to better outcomes and longer survival.
Many women over 50 schedule mammograms for breast cancer but miss out on CT lung cancer screenings they're also eligible for. Targeted outreach coul help change this, a new study shows.
People with diabetes face a higher risk of sudden cardiac death, a new study finds. Alarmingly, the increase in risk is especially noticeable among younger adults.
Should women be told about their high breast density as part of mammography screening? While this may sound like an obvious choice, a new study warns of unintended effects.
Climate change, poverty, and drug resistance are combining to create an escalating health crisis that could become a ‘creeping catastrophe’ if left unaddressed, a new international study finds.
The contraceptive pill may negatively affect women's mental health, a new study suggests. Women who are genetically predisposed to mental illness are particularly at risk.
IDH mutated gliomas are slow-growing brain tumors with a relatively good prognosis. A new study shows that many patients reveal measurable cognitive impairment in the first year after treatment.
Thousands of NHS knee replacement operations are cancelled at short notice every year, many for avoidable reasons, a new study shows. This costs the NHS millions of pounds and increases waiting times.
Breast cancer – including aggressive variants – are surprisingly common in younger women, a new study shows. The findings strengthen the case for earlier, risk-tailored screening, the authors say.
A new study shows that complications after stent surgery are more common in individuals with diabetes. The results emphasise the importance of tailoring treatment strategies for this patient group.
While saving lives remains the primary goal, a new study explores how radiation therapy also helps breast cancer survivors return to work. Policymakers should factor this in, the researchers argue.
Microplastics pose a human health risk in more ways than one, a new study reveals: not only do the particles harbor pathogenic bacteria, they may also help the spread of antimicrobial resistance.
Depression is not only a disease of the mind or the brain, a new study finds: a research team has revealed deep connections to abnormalities in the body's overall immune response.
Researchers have created a system that uses generative AI to study the shape and structure of blood cells, and spot unusual or rare cells that may indicate disease such as leukaemia.
