Surprising find: Alzheimer's biomarker found in newborn brains • healthcare-in-europe.com
Newborn babies and patients with Alzheimer's disease share an unexpected biological trait: elevated levels of a well-known biomarker for Alzheimer's. This is shown in a study led by researchers at the University of Gothenburg.
Championing the future of nuclear medicine • healthcare-in-europe.com
Heather Jacene, MD, assistant chief of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, clinical director of Nuclear Medicine at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and associate professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts, has been named president-elect of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI).
Pulmonary embolism in pregnancy: diagnostic pathways under scrutiny • healthcare-in-europe.com
Pulmonary embolism (PE) remains one of the leading causes of maternal mortality. At the French Thoracic Society Spring Days in May, Dr Aurélie Dehaene, radiologist at European Hospital in Marseille, France, reviewed diagnostic strategies for suspected PE during pregnancy, with a focus on clinical algorithms and optimized imaging protocols.
AUTOMA+ 2025: Smart Pharma Vision for Tomorrow • healthcare-in-europe.com
The Pharmaceutical Automation and Digitalisation Congress (AUTOMA+) 2025 welcomes delegates to be a part of its 5th anniversary in Vösendorf, Austria on 24-25 November. This edition focuses on AI-powered pharma, robotics and smart digital solutions.
Early infection defense mechanism discovered in embryos • healthcare-in-europe.com
Research led by scientists from the Institute of Molecular Biology of Barcelona (IBMB) of the CSIC and the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL) has managed to film how a few days-old embryos defend themselves from a potential infection by bacteria.
Liquid biopsy to detect breast cancer relapse up to 5 years in advance • healthcare-in-europe.com
A start-up supported by the C3N-IA Science Park at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and specialized in oncology, has developed a tool to monitor treatment response in patients with solid tumours from a simple blood sample.
Atrial fibrillation: digital technology to the rescue? • healthcare-in-europe.com
Machine learning (ML) for personalised care, large language models for empathy training of cardiologists, wearable sensor data for better screening, and more: Digital technologies hold great potential to improve diagnosis and treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). At the ESC 2024 cardiology congress in London, four experts explored the benefits of new solutions and pointed out challenges for their implementation.
COVID-19 vaccination lowers dialysis and mortality risk in patients with COVID-related acute kidney injury • healthcare-in-europe.com
Vaccinated patients hospitalized with COVID-19 who developed acute kidney injury had better outcomes than unvaccinated patients with the same condition, new research suggests. The study found vaccinated patients were less likely to stay on dialysis after discharge, and more likely to survive, than unvaccinated patients.
Ultrasound scan of baby's heart to increase childbirth safety • healthcare-in-europe.com
An echocardiography of the baby's little heart soon after the onset of labour can predict the outcome of the birth and in particular whether the baby will adequately tolerate the contractions or will be more likely to go into distress, necessitating a caesarean section or an operative delivery.
Innovative hybrid OR imaging: first Endovascular Navigation integrated into a mobile C-arm • healthcare-in-europe.com
In the fast-evolving world of modern endovascular surgery, precision and efficiency in surgical procedures are crucial. Ziehm Imaging has once again set the bar high with its latest innovation Endovascular Navigation¹. This ground-breaking software solution is the first of its kind fully integrated into a mobile C-arm. Endovascular Navigation seamlessly incorporates fusion imaging capabilities to plan, perform and review the procedures on one single system. It supports physicians in their endovascular interventions and allows intraoperative vascular fusion imaging directly from the sterile field to achieve higher accuracy. Endovascular Navigation provides an easy, fast and seamless workflow and offers unparalleled precision during complex procedures and expands treatment options like never before. First clinical evidence from a renowned German university hospital supports its successful impact on surgical efficiency and patient care.
Orbital gateway to surgical removal of brain tumours • healthcare-in-europe.com
Using a keyhole surgery approach, surgeons have found a new way to access previously difficult-to-reach brain regions with faster recovery times. With the help of 3D modelling technology, the neurosurgeons succeeded in removing complex tumours from the cavernous sinus through the eye socket, avoiding complex brain surgery and enabling their patients to make a quicker recovery.
New visualisation tool targets breast cancer dissemination • healthcare-in-europe.com
Cancer cell movement during metastasis is a dynamic process regulated by several different signals. However, the way cells receive, process and respond to these signals has been extremely hard to detect, but is made easier by a new visualisation tool.
A new “impulse” for equitable lung cancer screening in France • healthcare-in-europe.com
Lung cancer accounts for nearly one-fifth of all cancer deaths in the EU, yet unlike breast, colorectal, and cervical cancers, no organized screening programme exists to detect the disease before symptoms appear. This September, France will attempt to change that with an ambitious pilot programme that could reshape European lung cancer detection. Professor Marie-Pierre Revel presented the details at the French Thoracic Imaging Society Spring Days in Marseille, conveying the urgent need for this measure and its immense preventive potential.
Healing without harming: Radiographers' path to sustainable imaging • healthcare-in-europe.com
What if every radiographer could help combat climate change while performing their daily work? Following the congress theme of ECR 2025, experts revealed how small changes – from education initiatives to simple workflow adjustments – can collectively transform the environmental impact of radiology.
