What's holding back the digital transformation of NHS healthcare • healthcare-in-europe.com
Implementing artificial intelligence (AI) into NHS hospitals is far harder than initially anticipated, with complications around governance, contracts, data collection, harmonisation with old IT systems, finding the right AI tools and staff training, finds a major new UK study led by researchers from University College London (UCL).
3D bioprinting to solve donor organ shortage • healthcare-in-europe.com
Organ donors can save lives, for example those of patients with kidney failure. Unfortunately, there are too few donors, and the waiting lists are long. 3D bioprinting of (parts of) organs may offer a solution to this shortage in the future. But printing living tissues, bioprinting, is extremely complex and challenging.
NSCLC: Surgical combination therapy may prolong disease control • healthcare-in-europe.com
A randomized Phase II trial from National Taiwan University Hospital reports early evidence that resecting the primary thoracic tumor following EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy may prolong disease control in patients with metastatic EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Ultrasound helmet enables deep brain stimulation without surgery • healthcare-in-europe.com
An ultrasound device that can precisely stimulate areas deep in the brain without surgery has been developed by researchers from University College London (UCL) and the University of Oxford, opening up new possibilities for neurological research and treatment of disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and depression.
Blood pressure measuring: most online health images get it wrong (and how it's done right) • healthcare-in-europe.com
Accurate images of how to take blood pressure readings in doctors’ offices and at home are lacking and play an important role in helping the public monitor and manage blood pressure, suggests a new study.

Two molecular targets human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) and cluster of differentiation 24 (CD24) are highly promising candidates for new nuclear diagnostics and therapeutics for endometrial cancer, according to new research.
Why mental health should be included in cardiovascular care • healthcare-in-europe.com
A new Clinical Consensus Statement from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) is calling for greater awareness of the multidirectional relationship between mental health conditions and cardiovascular disease to improve patient health.
Pushing for a more patient-centered approach to advanced cancer care • healthcare-in-europe.com
A new policy review led by Ian Tannock and Madeline Pe, together with an international team of oncologists, statisticians, patients and patient-reported outcomes (PRO) experts from Common Sense Oncology (CSO) and the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC), emphasises the critical role of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) data in the evaluation of treatments for people with advanced cancer.
Sinusitis: Study favors surgery over antibiotics • healthcare-in-europe.com
Sinus surgery is more effective than antibiotics at treating chronic rhinosinusitis, according to a major clinical trial led by the University College London (UCL) along with academics at the University of East Anglia (UEA) and Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust.
Dual challenge: Managing critical care of the pregnant inpatient • healthcare-in-europe.com
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. Pregnancy causes physiologic changes as well as anatomical ones, which complicates the assessment and medical management of pregnant women. 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.
Prestigious honor for contributions to cardiovascular medicine • healthcare-in-europe.com
The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) has selected Roxana Mehran, MD, Director of Interventional Cardiovascular Research and Clinical Trials at the Zena and Michael A. Wiener Cardiovascular Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, as a winner of the organization’s top honor. Dr. Mehran was presented with the “ESC Gold Medal” during a special ceremony at the ESC Congress in Madrid on Friday, August 29.
Machine learning identifies cardiotoxicity risk in breast cancer patients • healthcare-in-europe.com
Researchers have developed a machine learning algorithm that uses cardiac MRI images to help identify breast cancer patients who may be at risk of cardiotoxicity during cancer treatment. The research, led by cardiologist Dr Paaladinesh Thavendiranathan from Toronto General Hospital University Health Network, was presented at the European Society of Cardiology's Cardio-Oncology Conference in Florence in June.
Heart attacks may be triggered by infection, study finds • healthcare-in-europe.com
A pioneering study by researchers from Finland and the UK has demonstrated for the first time that myocardial infarction may be an infectious disease. This discovery challenges the conventional understanding of the pathogenesis of myocardial infarction and opens new avenues for treatment, diagnostics, and even vaccine development.
