The causes for motor neuron diseases like ALS are largely unknown, but environmental factors have long been suspected of playing a part. A new study shows that air pollution can be one such factor.
Drawbacks of GLP-1 discontinuation: People tend to regain weight rapidly after stopping weight-loss drugs - and faster than after ending behavioural weight loss programmes - according to new research.
A widely used chemotherapy drugs used in cancer treatments can cause heart damage, new research shows. This could be used to adapt treatment regimens - especially in patients with high blood pressure.
☺️💊📞: Emojis are increasingly used in patient communication, a new study finds. This can help build trust and emphasize critical information, but may also lead to misunderstanding.
The immune system’s reaction to the common Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can ultimately damage the brain and contribute to multiple sclerosis (MS), a new study shows.
Scientists have overturned a long-held belief in genetics: that inheriting two harmful variants in the same gene always worsens disease. Instead, this can actually restore normal protein function.
A new study shows a significant survival benefit for patients with oropharyngeal cancers treated with proton therapy (IMPT) compared to those treated with traditional radiation therapy (IMRT).
An international study shows that Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers can be accurately detected using simple finger-prick blood samples that can be collected at home and mailed to a laboratory.
Mobile Stroke Units, equipped with a CT scanner, point-of-care laboratory, and communications capabilities, could reduce unnecessary emergency department transfers by 86%, a new study finds.
To predict the risk of hip fracture, only 7% of the bone mass needs to be analysed, a new study finds. Scientists have identified these critical areas to improving diagnostic methods.
A novel machine-learning-based solution analyses CT images and helps radiologists detect both malignant and benign lesions in the kidney more quickly and reliably.
A sample of inequality: A new study shows that AI models can infer demographic information from pathology slides, leading to bias in cancer diagnosis among different populations.
Researchers have discovered that low physical activity is associated with a higher risk of lymphedema. They have also noted that a lymph scanner objectively measures changes in the condition.
A simple blood test that can very accurately predict the chance of survival with good recovery could be of great significance for patients in intensive care after a cardiac arrest.
Radiotherapy is effective against prostate cancer but can cause side effects. Using AI, scientists found that images originally taken to help position patients could also predict rectal bleeding.
Can CT-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR-CT) be used in patients with angina to predict future major cardiovascular events? A novel AI-based approach for CCTA analysis yields promising results.
Despite significant advances in the treatment of atrial fibrillation, a new Danish study shows that social inequities in survival have remained virtually unchanged over the past 20 years.
In an epidemic setting, even a small proportion of citizens who do not follow public health measures can amplify the spread of contagions and make them expand faster, a new study reveals.
Even minor functional impairments of the kidneys can have serious consequences for patients after major surgery. New biomarkers could help identify high-risk patients at an early stage.
Breast cancer screening for women under 50 isn't cost-effective – yet 1 in 5 diagnoses occurs in this age group. A new study suggests a personalised approach that could change this equation.
A novel AI-based method can distinguish between progressive brain tumours and radiotherapy-induced necrosis on advanced MRI. This could help clinicians more accurately identify and treat the issues.
A first-of-its-kind study could lead to quicker and more targeted support for vulvodynia - a painful chronic condition estimated to affect more than one in 10 women with no known cause.
After T-cell redirecting therapies, patients are typically hospitalized for several days to watch for side effects. New research shows that these patients can safely be monitored at home.
New immunotherapies are effective against skin cancer, but they can cause serious side effects. New insights suggest that a lower dosage may lead to better outcomes and longer survival.
Many women over 50 schedule mammograms for breast cancer but miss out on CT lung cancer screenings they're also eligible for. Targeted outreach coul help change this, a new study shows.
