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.
Bioptron Hyperlight Therapy is a certified medical device that uses a patented form of polarized, polychromatic, non-coherent light. The therapy works by delivering specific light characteristics, which stimulate local blood microcirculation, enhance cellular regenerative process, decrease pain and stimulate immune system. This non-invasive and painless photobiomodulation method is clinically…
Engineers have developed a new surgical device for hip arthroscopy which they hope will completely change procedures in the hip region, making them safer and more efficient than before.
New hope for patients with neurological diseases: A combination of focused ultrasound and gene therapy enables targeted, nonsurgical control of seizure-relevant brain regions.
Just like the “ABCDE” mnemonic for melanoma awareness, researchers hope their diagnostic tool will transform how doctors approach persistent rashes, reminding them to consider lymphoma sooner.
Type 1 diabetes is demanding for patients. A new study shows the benefits of a systematic, intensive treatment with remote monitoring of glucose levels and weekly healthcare contact.
Not all PCOS is the same: Researchers identified four subgroups with distinct symptoms and different responses to treatment – opening the door to precision medicine for millions of women worldwide.
An expert summit for craniomaxillofacial (CMF) care brought together leading surgeons to explore how digital technologies are reshaping surgical planning, precision, and patient outcomes.
The heterogeneity of critical illnesses like sepsis, ARDS, and trauma creates immense challenges. A new, unified way to classify patients aims to improve treatment.
Breast cancer survivors are often discouraged from undergoing hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to alleviate menopause symptoms. Now, new research paints a more differentiated picture.
Children with asthma using at-home monitoring are around half as likely to visit the ED or be hospitalised, compared to those only receiving care from their medical team, new research shows.
Scientists created precise replicas of Candida sugar coats to understand immune responses, enabling fast bedside testing that could replace slow lab cultures.
The number of patients with substance abuse disorders who are admitted to hospitals as inpatients has been steadily increasing. Hospitalists attending SHM Converge 2025, the annual meeting of the Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM) in Las Vegas this spring, were given practical advice on how to treat these patients.
Performed inaccurately, cannulation of major veins is associated with complications like pneumothorax or artery puncture. Chinese researchers propose a new ultrasound-guided method for more accuracy.
People with both type 2 diabetes and obstructive sleep apnoea have a higher risk of death, but treatment with CPAP may reduce that risk by around 26%, a new study finds.
In metastatic EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), targeting residual disease through surgery can extend the benefits of EGFR TKI therapy beyond standard monotherapy, a new study finds.
Wrong equipment, inadequate posture, unusual behavior: Only 1 in 7 online stock photo images of blood pressure monitoring correctly show how blood pressure should be measured, a new study finds.
Systematic screening and support for mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD should become normalised in cardiovascular care, cardiologists urge in a new Consensus Statement.
Currently, cancer treatment evaluation focuses heavily on survival outcomes, but doesn't adequately consider how treatments affect quality of life. A new policy review aims to change this.
Hospitalists face a dual challenge when a critically ill pregnant patient is admitted to a hospital: providing safe and effective treatment for both mother and fetus. At the annual meeting of the Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM) in Las Vegas, an expert discussed why hospitalists must draw on a variety of skills when treating pregnant inpatients.
Surgery or antibiotics? For the first time, a major clinical trial compared treatment options for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), or sinusitis – clearly favoring the surgical approach.
A novel procedure at UC San Diego Health uses a combination of artificial intelligence and 3D printing to develop a customized implant for the spine during fusion surgery.
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.
Lower income, higher BMI, less time and fewer resources to improve their health: A new study links social and environmental factors in patients from deprived areas to poorer outcomes in surgery.
By analyzing CT images with 3D software, researchers demonstrated that small liver tumors can be successfully treated using ablation. This could enable more confident use of ablation treatments.
