A new AI model enables more efficient analysis of tissue samples taken from colorectal cancer tumours. This can help shorten diagnosis times, reduce costs, and improve diagnostic accuracy.
A new study reveals how a simple angiogram scoring system could help identify patients whose heart muscle is still alive - even when a major artery has been completely blocked for months.
A new AI-based method can reduce the time required for certain MRI brain scans by up to 90% while maintaining a high level of accuracy, paving the way for more efficient and accessible neuroimaging.
A simple, affordable urine test could detect early signs of lung cancer months, or even years, before symptoms appear, as well as monitor whether treatment is working and identify potential relapse.
Substantial and sustained weight-loss after bariatric surgery has been linked to a reduced risk of cancer and cancer-related death, mainly in women. Two new studies now provide clues as to why.
Persistent long Covid symptoms are often linked to brain inflammation. However, results from a new study point at a different explanantion for fatigue, cognitive impairment, anxiety, and depression.
For decades, patients have been strictly advised to use single-use catheters to prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). However, a new study suggests that reusable options are equally safe.
A new clinical trial has identified new opportunities to improve recovery for intensive care survivors through remote rehabilitation delivered in patients’ homes.
Due to advances in radiation therapy, some breast cancer patients may be able to omit surgery following ablative radiation, according to new results of a Phase 2 trial.
Virtual reality (VR) before surgery could help reduce pain in the early postoperative period among adolescents undergoing surgery for funnel chest (pectus excavatum), according to new research.
Patients recovering from brain and spinal cord injuries could soon benefit from virtual reality (VR) rehabilitation delivered directly at their hospital bedside, according to a new study.
A new study shows that diaphragmatic dome height (DDH) - a simple measurement from routine chest X-rays - can help predict survival among patients with lung cancer and breathing disorders.
Once breast cancer begins to metastasise, it generally becomes harder to treat and survival rates are lower. Now, researchers present a new, targeted treatment approach using SBRT radiotherapy.
Researchers have developed a novel 3D‑printed ceramic implant material that closely mimics real human bone. The findings may lead to more effective and accessible treatments for bone defects.
Researchers from some of the UK’s leading academic institutions have warned that simply hiring more NHS staff will not be enough to reduce surgery backlogs, in newly published research.
A new study proposes a new antiviral strategy against SARS-CoV-2 based on a treatment that combines two complementary approaches, capable of attacking the virus simultaneously.
Many women with myasthenia gravis choose not to have children due to fear that the disease will get worse during or after pregnancy. Now, a study investigated the connection to the autoimmune disease.
Researchers have reported results from a first-in-human trial evaluating a novel cell-based platform for localized delivery of interleukin-2 (IL-2) in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.
Researchers have discovered that teaching Large Language Models (LLMs) to mimic human intuition and reasoning significantly improves their ability to provide accurate medical care-seeking advice.
Changes in gut microbiota after bariatric surgery are strongly linked to altered metabolic health and sustained improvement in type 2 diabetes, according to a new study.
Heart disease risk has been found to increase in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), even in those with normal weight, according to new research.
Now, a new study identified a gene therapy for individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) caused by a specific mutation and for whom there was no treatment available until now.
Total hip replacement performed with robotic techniques has a lower reoperation rate than the conventional procedure, according to a six-year study.
Researchers have developed an electrochemical sensor that can detect pancreatic cancer in its early stages. The device offers a simpler, more affordable alternative to conventional tests, which are less accessible.
Endometriosis affects up to one in ten women and girls of reproductive age, but for many, the path to diagnosis is both long and complex. Now, two new studies explain the diagnostic challenges in primary care.
