Medical innovations are rapidly expanding therapy options for many diseases. Keep reading to find more information on new therapies, surgical techniques, effective medication and patient care.
Functional brain radiosurgery is an application of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), representing its newest clinical field. It is a precise, non-invasive medical technique using focused ionising radiation to precisely target specific brain structures to modulate brain function for neurological disorders, psychiatric conditions, or intractable pain. The technology offers “precision without…
Combining stem cell therapy with standard fetal surgery before birth is a safe and promising approach to treat myelomeningocele, a severe form of spina bifida, a new study has shown.
Less cancers missed, fewer complications: Mindfulness enables procedures to be done to a higher standard in awake patients than is currently possible under general anaesthesia or sedation.
In this on-demand webinar, participants will learn how to safely administer drugs to patients with swallowing difficulties or enteral feeding tubes, including injectable drug compatibility.
Even after a blood clot is removed from a large brain artery via thrombectomy, administering the thrombolytic drug alteplase to the area may improve stroke recovery, a new trial from Spain shows.
A new European study suggests that PFA may offer hospitals a way to treat atrial fibrillation more efficiently – with shorter procedures and lower costs than established methods.
Most stroke rehabilitation programs are urban-based and focus on physical symptoms, leaving rural patients underserved and cognitive issues under-addressed. A new approach aims to tackle both gaps.
Surviving without lungs for 48 hours: Surgeons describe how they removed a patient’s infected lungs and built “artificial lungs” to keep him alive until a double lung transplant was available.
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.
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).
Gene-editing technologies show great promise for medical treatments and research, with the potential to cure thousands of genetic diseases. At the 2025 World Medical Innovation Forum in Boston, leading experts explored the possibilities and challenges of these rapidly advancing tools. The case of Baby KJ Muldoon – an infant treated with a personalised CRISPR therapy developed in just seven…
A first-time mother has about a 30% chance of complication in the second stage of labour, requiring assisted delivery or emergency C-section. A new device could help reduce birth trauma.
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.
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.
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.
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.
At the 2025 Journées Francophones de Radiologie (JFR), novelist, diplomat, and physician Jean-Christophe Rufin took the stage to remind an audience of radiologists that medicine, at its core, is a human story – one that needs to be told, felt, and shared. Beneath the cold light of MRI scanners and the hum of technology, he reintroduced something fragile yet essential: empathy.
Thousands of NHS knee replacement operations are cancelled at short notice every year, many for avoidable reasons, a new study shows. This costs the NHS millions of pounds and increases waiting times.
A new study shows that complications after stent surgery are more common in individuals with diabetes. The results emphasise the importance of tailoring treatment strategies for this patient group.
A European consortium has developed a new decision making framework for health professionals which they hope will transform the care of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
University of Delaware researchers use robotic testing to spot an often overlooked sensory deficit in stroke survivors – proprioception, the body's ability to sense movement and position.
AHC provides medical-grade wet wipes for hospitals, clinics, care homes, laboratories and home healthcare. As a trusted OEM and private label wet wipes manufacturer, we support brands worldwide with customized formulations for infection control, patient hygiene and sensitive skin. Production takes place in certified class 100K cleanrooms using medical-quality nonwovens and purified EDI water.…
Researchers have engineered a novel technique that uses a small balloon to gently widen the airways, and overcome the physical limitations of conventional bronchoscopy to reach deep lung tumors.
