A new AI tool has been shown to accurately predict who would go on to develop leaks in the heart valves – conditions known as regurgitant valvular heart diseases, at a very early stage from an ECG.
The earlier Alzheimer's disease is detected, the more effective treatments become. Now, a Finnish study shows that signs related to Alzheimer’s may already be found in the brain in middle age.
A neural network AI has been trained to detect cardiac amyloidosis from a single echocardiogram video of the heart's apical four-chamber view and differentiate it from similar heart conditions.
Starting fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) early significantly reduces both the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer. These results of a new study support earlier screening.
Molecular markers in saliva could reveal the risk of a person developing major diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases, new research finds.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the EU, yet no organized screening program exists to detect the disease before symptoms appear. This September, France will strike back with an ambitious pilot program that could boost European lung cancer screening. Professor Marie-Pierre Revel presented the details at the French Thoracic Imaging Society Spring Days in Marseille, highlighting…
Newborns, especially those born prematurely, are vulnerable to conditions such as sepsis. A new device profiles an infant’s immune function from a single drop of blood to improve neonatal care.
Survival rates for pancreatic cancer rise drastically the earlier it is detected, but early-stage tumors are notoriously difficult to spot. A new AI-powered diagnostic system is set to improve this.
New research shows that dysfunction in the mitochondria linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) occurs before the cells show other signs of disease, which was not previously known.
Using radiomics on mammograms of over 30,000 women, researchers have identified six breast texture patterns that may be associated with increased cancer risk.
People at risk of cardiovascular disease could be identified a decade before they have a heart attack or stroke, a new University of Dundee study has discovered.
Researchers from Université Laval discovered that the retina of people with Parkinson's disease responds differently to light than that of healthy people. This offers new diagnostic options.
Using AI and extensive analyses of gene activity in tumours, researchers have found new, precise biomarkers to diagnose prostate cancer at an early stage through a simple urine sample.
GPs may soon be able to identify patients with an increased risk of lung cancer up to 4 months earlier with an algorithm created by researchers based on the data of more than half a million patients.
Pancreatic cysts (IPMNs) are seen as a precursor of pancreatic cancer. However, not all patients need to undergo surgery. A recent study may help patients with IPMNs to avoid unnecessary surgery.
A new, simpler and cheaper analytical method for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease could help bring blood tests into the healthcare system globally, according to a new study.
Fighting pancreatic cancer can feel like a race against time. A new discovery could give clinicians a head start - by targeting precancerous lesions before they become much more aggressive.
By using AI to analyse ECG data, researchers created an algorithm to predict the biological age of the heart. This could be used to identify those most at risk of cardiovascular events and mortality.
A research project investigating the genetics and health of volunteers from the Hebrides, Shetland or Orkney shows how distinct genetic populations can benefit from tailored screening programmes.
