Researchers explored two promising new biomarkers as potential radiotheranostic targets for endometrial cancer. This could help identify patients who are likely to respond to targeted therapeutics.
Historically, implants to repair bone fractures have been made of metal, donor bone, or 3D-printed material. Now, scientists propose an in-situ printing approach - using a modified glue gun.
Assisted reproductive technologies like IVF are held back by the fact that more than half of all embryos fail to implant into the uterus. Now, new research explores ways to improve these odds.
Traditionally, measuring heart rate requires some sort of wearable device. Now, new research shows how the signal from a household WiFi device can be used for this crucial health monitoring.
Even though many implants such as artificial joints and pacemakers are made of titanium, they occasionally break – but why? A researcher is investigating implant failure and how to prevent it.
The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) has awarded Roxana Mehran, MD, from Mount Sinai, with its top honor, the “ESC Gold Medal”, during a special ceremony at the ESC Congress in Madrid.
An advanced imaging method that uses the natural glow of tissues could help detect subtle differences in the tissue’s biochemistry, offering a way to earlier detect colorectal cancer via endoscopy.
An unexpected trigger for heart attack: Researchers show that dormant bacteria can contribute to atherosclerotic plaques and fatal myocardial infarction, effectively making it an infectious disease.
A newly developed method to accurately quantify how much radiation is absorbed by the blood during cancer treatment could lead to more personalised, preventive, and safer radiotherapy.
Studies have found that natural polysaccharides from a medical fungus endemic to Taiwan can not only effectively inhibit inflammation, but also fight the proliferation of lung cancer cells.
Dysphagia can significantly reduce a person's quality of life. Now, research teams have developed a new 3D bioprinting method to create safe and appealing meals for dysphagia diets.
Tracer molecules serve to provide visual guidance in nuclear medicine, but a new molecule could give surgeons additional audio cues to help them locate prostate cancer tumors and metastases.
Researchers have developed a new, data-driven way of fitting prosthetic legs which could lead to better fitting prosthetics, in less time and at a lower cost.
Researchers report they have built a new non-toxic and non-radioactive handheld device that uses the unique properties of diamonds to diagnose metastasized breast cancer.
Using ultrasound imaging, researchers measure the wall thickness of the aorta from within a patient's body, to predict with higher accuracy whether an aneurysm will rupture or not.
To help people with hearing loss, researchers develop an AI-powered lip-reading camera that translates lip movements into sound. The device could also work in areas with a lot of background noise.
The mere fact of being exposed to a sick avatar in a virtual reality environment triggers a measurable immune response in humans, a multidisciplinary research team discovered.
A novel approach to bioprinting may lead to new ways to treat skin burns and severe wounds. With this, the researchers aim to create new skin that does not become scar tissue but a functioning dermis.
Doctors wear white – but did you know that was not always the case? A new review explores the effect of attire color on patient trust, and persistent misidentification of female doctors.
