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.
What do the brains of newborns and patients with Alzheimer's disease have in common? Researchers have discovered a surprising shared trait - which might provide new insights into the disease.
New research makes a strong case for a new dual-targeting radiopharmaceutical, designed to attach to two vulnerable sites on cancer cells, enabling more precise and potent therapy.
Maternal contractions during childbirth put considerable stress on a baby's heart. Using a new ultrasound technique, researchers were able to predict complications necessitating C-section.
If data used to train AI models for medical applications differs from the real-world data, it could lead to patient harm. A new study found proactive strategies to mitigate such data shifts.
Many women are only diagnosed with breast cancer after they present to a doctor with symptoms. A new study points out that early detection through screening leads to improved outcomes.
A new method for predicting the risks of severe injuries during childbirth could improve care and reduce long-term complications for women.
Experts from the University of Nottingham have proven that multiple sclerosis can successfully be diagnosed using an MRI scan, meaning patients no longer need to undergo a painful lumbar puncture.
When it comes to breast cancer, ethnic differences matter, putting some women at a significantly higher risk, a new study finds. Genetic ancestry should therefore be considered as a risk factor.
A University of Liverpool study has used advanced genetic and genomic techniques to offer a major step forward in understanding and diagnosing infectious intestinal diseases.
Diagnosing breast cancer in women with extremely dense breasts often comes down to MRI, but the scans take long and are expensive. Research confirms that shorter protocols also yield accurate results.
Movement disorders often show overlapping symptoms, making it difficult for doctors to make the correct diagnosis. A new AI tool could help distinguish between different disorders, such as tremor and myoclonus.
