The work of a nurse is becoming increasingly digital. A new study shows that nurses need to expand their professional competencies beyond their traditional skills to adapt to these changes.
Generative AI can detect and quantify cognitive biases of human caregivers during medical emergency situations. This way, LLMs could help reduce the impact of bias based on gender, age, or ethnicity.
A pacemaker designed for babies could fill an unmet need for newborns with congenital heart defects and other heart conditions, finds a new study.
Playing video games to recover hand and wrist mobility? A new system of exergames demonstrates the potential for rehabilitation while providing therapists with data to analyse patients’ progress.
Researchers developed an advanced AI tool for automatic analysis of colorectal cancer tissue slides. The new model outperformed all predecessors in the classification of tissue microscopy samples.
Researchers developed an AI-based system which has has a broad ability to identify even subtle differences between medical images taken at different times, and to predict related outcome measures.
A new blood test, using neurofilament light chainproteins as biomarker, could lead to better diagnosis and management of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
A new AI-enhanced technique makes breast cancer tissue “glow” on MRI scans. This not only improves breast cancer detection but also can help treat it more effectively, the researchers say.
Research on biliary tract cancer is advancing rapidly, ranging from targeted treatments to new drugs. However, the delivery of these advances to patients is lagging behind, new European studies find.
A newly-developed robot can detect medication side-effects in patients after heart arrhythmia treatment faster than a human doctor, while reducing the number of follow-up tests.
Crohn’s disease is incurable, with high rates of recurrence. A new approach, involving surgical removal of the mesentery, dramatically reduces the possibility that follow-up surgery will be needed.
Promising insights into amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS): New research links characteristic symptoms of the disease, such as motor impairment and respiratory issues, to sleep disorders.
The discovery of a 'biomarker panel' could have a profound impact on the ability to identify patients at risk of developing pancreatic cancer at an earlier stage, researchers hope.
A new AI tool creates super-resolution images showing the inner structures of bones in great detail. This can be used to better determine risk for fracture in elderly patients with osteoporosis.
Patients aged between 50 to 70 years with a mechanical heart valve replacement had better long-term survival compared to those with a biological valve, new research has found.
Analysing long-term ECG recordings for signs of heart abnormalities such as arrhythmias is a time-consuming process. New research finds that AI is better suited for this task than humans.
While thrombectomy to remove blood clots after a stroke is increasingly performed, new research suggests that it may not be needed in all cases.
Certain gene alterations can serve as a prognostic and predictive biomarker for prostate cancer. Now, researchers confirm the feasibility of using NGS on this marker for precise patient stratification and treatment selection.
It takes one to know one: Researchers have developed an AI-based evaluation tool to assess how well clinical AI tools perform in the hospital.
AI-supported screening for breast cancer can detect more cancer cases compared with traditional screening, and find more invasive cancers at an early stage, results from the MASAI trial indicate.
The virus behind Covid-19 initially causes acute lung injury and respiratory failure. However, new evidence indicates the virus also involves inflammation that can affect the cardiovascular system.
A new blood test that detects a specific brain protein may help doctors determine the type of a stroke faster and allow them to start safe treatment for people before they get to the hospital.
Late-stage breast cancer patients are more often affected by brain metastases than previously believed, a new study finds. The researchers suggest that MRI screening guidelines should reflect this.
Researchers have clinically validated a previously developed urine test for prostate cancer screening, which can potentially bypass invasive procedures among men who are unlikely to benefit.
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) 3D imaging of the heart greatly contributes to preventing heart attacks, compared to standard tests, a new study finds.
