The microbes living in the human gut influence metabolism, immunity, and cardiovascular health. A new study now suggests they may also be closely connected to Alzheimer's disease.
Slower recovery, more complications, longer monitoring: People with diabetes face considerably worse long-term effects after a coronavirus infection – also known as long Covid, a new study shows.
Researchers have found a way to avoid second surgery for unborn babies with a severe diaphragmatic defect. To complete the procedure, the mother now only has to take a short stroll.
A new portable ultrasound system could make breast imaging more accessible. The device generates high-res, 3D images of breast tissue, requires no expertise to operate and could be used at home.
Researchers have developed a new lab model to study BAP1-deficient melanomas, a rare type of melanoma that evade the immune system once they metastasize and are resistant to current immunotherapies.
Improvements in arm and hand function, tactile and body awareness: Researchers have developed a rehabilitation platform for stroke survivors, which combines VR with targeted sensory nerve stimulation.
Why do patients discontinue their medication? Using large language models, researchers analysed medical records to assess the most common reasons. This could help better understand treatment pathways.
A pilot study shows that immunotherapy may enable stimulation of egg maturation in women with premature menopause. Three out of ten women gave birth to healthy babies following the treatment.
A simple bedside eye test may help predict recovery of consciousness in patients with severe brain injuries, according to new research.
AI models can now assess breast cancer risk directly from changes in screening mammograms over time, a new study shows. This opens the door to a new era of dynamic breast cancer risk assessment.
A cross-University paper led by researchers at Queen Mary University of London shows how better ‘digital twins’ could help doctors treating people with Atrial Fibrillation.
Radiopharmaceutical therapy has already transformed care for neuroendocrine tumors and prostate cancer, but other tumor types still lack targeted treatment options. A new approach could change this.
Measuring radiodensity of visceral fat and muscle from CT scans, researchers have identified a new biomarker that may help determine the prognosis for patients with gastric cancer.
Relearning how to walk after a stroke is a huge challenge, often requiring months of intensive rehabilitation. A new approach utilizing lower-limb exoskeletons aims to facilitate this process.
For patients with knee osteoarthritis, for whom injections no longer provide sufficient relief, but joint replacement is also not an option, a minimally invasive treatment might offer an alternative.
Seeking health information online does not automatically improve people’s health behaviour, finds a new study. The results show the need for improving digital literacy to reduce health inequalities.
Advanced multiparametric MRI performed before kidney tumor surgery could help identify patients at higher risk for kidney function decline and chronic kidney disease after nephrectomy.
Researchers developed a simple, rapid, and low-dose X-ray technique to evaluate the severity of pulmonary valve regurgitation – a common complication after surgical repair of Tetralogy of Fallot.
A novel PET imaging framework reveals that bariatric surgery impacts not only body weight, but also the metabolic function of organs. These insights could support more precise treatment monitoring.
A new PET imaging approach that measures synaptic density in the spinal cord provides a quantitative way to assess the brain's functional wiring in patients with multiple sclerosis.
Many people with breast cancer can avoid chemotherapy with a gene test, potentially sparing them side effects without increasing the risk of the cancer returning, a clinical trial has found.
A new type of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) appears to be safe in metastatic neuroendocrine tumor patients who have exhausted conventional treatment options.
Obesity may change how early-stage breast cancer becomes invasive, according to a new study. The findings could help improve physicians’ ability to predict and treat the disease.
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.
