Researchers evaluated the clinical value of using ChatGPT to interpret seizure semiology in order to predict which brain areas to remove to achieve seizure freedom in epilepsy patients.
A new AI tool called PERISCOPE should help healthcare providers determine which patients need extra monitoring to protect them from wound or lung infections, UTIs or sepsis.
Researchers used state-of-the-art 3D bioprinting to replicate the complex structure and environment of spinal discs. Their insights hold promise for understanding back pain and disc degeneration.
A team of scientists has developed a method for 3D printing polymers at specific locations deep within living animals.
Using AI to analyse ultrasound scans can detect up to 35% more risk pregnancies than scans performed by healthcare professionals without AI decision support, according to new results.
Researchers incorporated a specialized breath sensor within the fabric of a face mask to detect metabolites associated with chronic kidney disease. Initial tests showed promising results.
At the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), three experts presented new approaches and study results for the treatment of breast cancer in young women.
Finding ways to target antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a scientific and medical priority. A consortium of researchers identified a compound capable of blocking a key protein for virulence, thus “disarming” the pathogenic bacteria.
Pupil dilation and involuntary facial movements could provide a window into diagnosing tinnitus. A new method uses AI to detect minuscule reactions to various sounds and noises.
Discovering knowledge about side effects needs to be faster and better. In her oration, Prof. Dr. Agnes Kant, Professor by special appointment of Innovation of Pharmacovigilance, calls for more research on side effects. She also pleads for a fund for independent research on side effects.
A new approach enables the detection of even trace amounts of cancer cells. The method leverages SERS for signal amplification, eliminating the need for fluorescent dyes.
The incidence of colorectal cancer in young adults has doubled over the last 20 years, with no known reason. Now, a new study links this mysterious trend to childhood exposure to a bacterial toxin.
Using an advanced PET scanner, US radiologists explore how cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and other systemic conditions, can affect the brain by assessing the impact on the blood-brain barrier.
Unprecedented insights into the inner workings of an early-stage lung tumor: An international research team describes a new method for 3D mapping cellular interactions in the tumor microenvironment.
A newly discovered type of cells counteract tumor development and may therefore be a target for research into new treatments for pancreatic cancer, which is one of the deadliest forms of cancer.
Dr Ari Melnick has been appointed the new Director of the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute by the Board of Trustees. The institute specialises in biomedical research and precision medicine in the field of leukaemia and other hematologic malignancies.
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.
Working conditions for scientists in the field of medicine are becoming increasingly difficult in the USA. A new funding initiative offers outstanding scientists a new perspective in Germany.
A new study suggests that gold nanoparticles — thousands of times thinner than a human hair — might one day help restore vision in people with macular degeneration and other retinal disorders.
