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.
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.
