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.
Study of 3.7 million children reveals small but significant increased risk of blood cancers from medical imaging radiation, with CT scans posing highest risk
Misinterpreting the malignancy risk of lung nodules often results in high false-positive rates, unnecessary follow-ups, increased patient anxiety and healthcare costs. A new study suggests that AI can fix this.
Performed inaccurately, cannulation of major veins is associated with complications like pneumothorax or artery puncture. Chinese researchers propose a new ultrasound-guided method for more accuracy.
People with both type 2 diabetes and obstructive sleep apnoea have a higher risk of death, but treatment with CPAP may reduce that risk by around 26%, a new study finds.
A new study demonstrates drones can deliver life-saving AEDs in just minutes from an emergency call – potentially doubling survival rates in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests.
In metastatic EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), targeting residual disease through surgery can extend the benefits of EGFR TKI therapy beyond standard monotherapy, a new study finds.
Wrong equipment, inadequate posture, unusual behavior: Only 1 in 7 online stock photo images of blood pressure monitoring correctly show how blood pressure should be measured, a new study finds.
A new ultrasound helmet capable of influencing deep brain regions without surgery opens up new possibilities for neurological research and treatment of disorders such as Parkinson’s disease.
AI may be effective at detecting advanced breast cancer in mammograms, but current models still lack reliability. New research from Korea suggests that up to 14% of invasive cases are missed.
Surgery or antibiotics? For the first time, a major clinical trial compared treatment options for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), or sinusitis – clearly favoring the surgical approach.
A biodegradable, electroconductive self-healing hydrogel combined with acupuncture could help restore motor function and protect brain neurons in Parkinson’s disease models.
An advanced imaging method that uses the natural glow of tissues could help detect subtle differences in the tissue’s biochemistry, offering a way to earlier detect colorectal cancer via endoscopy.
One in three people do not want to know about serious illnesses—even if they might be affected themselves. A new review study explores the reasons for this deliberate ignorance.
Scientists developed an AI-based approach to diagnose colorectal cancer from different microbial subgroups in the gut microbiota – a non-invasive and low-cost alternative to colonoscopy screening.
Men assessed as healthy may still have an early form of prostate cancer. Using AI, researchers found signs that were missed in more than 80% of samples of men who later developed cancer.
Postpartum hemorrhage is a leading cause of maternal death. A new method could help predict which women experiencing severe bleeding after giving birth most likely need life-saving interventions.
AI-driven scribes that record patient visits and draft clinical notes for physician review may lead to significant reductions in physician burnout and improvements in well-being, a new study finds.
An artificial heart valve made from SEBS, a new type of highly durable and biocompatible plastic, could be a step closer to use in humans, following a successful long-term safety test in animals.
Mammography image interpretation AI models are unreliable – but so are human readers. A new hybrid strategy could reduce radiologist workload by 38% without compromising diagnostic efficacy.
Blood vessels become stiffer with age, but a new study suggests that a Covid infection could accelerate this process, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, including stroke and heart attack.
