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.
Medical imaging methods are often affected by background noise, which can obscure fine anatomical details. A new approach to solve this problem draws inspiration from quantum mechanics.
Pharmaceutical counterfeiting remains a critical issue, with high risks for patients and great economical damage. Now, researchers propose using “chemical fingerprints” to identify illegal meds.
The vaginal microbiome is a largely overlooked area of medicine that could dramatically improve outcomes for common infections, infertility and even cancer for millions of women, a new review finds.
Spaceflight comes with unique health risks – which include surprisingly high rates of sinus and congestion problems, new research finds. This also has implications for future civilian space travel.
Microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) tumors are associated with better clinical outcomes. A novel AI model for accurate MSI prediction could help battle gastric and colorectal cancers.
Some medications can only be taken as an injection, which is often painful, unpleasant and inconvenient for patients. A new transport system could make it possible to swap these injections for pills.
Tumor vesicles may serve as early indicators of cancer and help monitor the effectiveness of treatments. Now, researchers discovered a new way to detect these vesicles.
Microrobots formed in droplets could enable precision-targeted drug delivery, improving on IV drug delivery that sends only 0.7% of the drug to the target tissue, according to a recent study.
