Polypharmacy: hidden risks for older patients • healthcare-in-europe.com
Inappropriate polypharmacy – the excessive or unnecessary use of multiple medications – is a major driver of emergency hospital admissions among adults aged 65 and over, according to a new study from the Department of Life Sciences at the University of Bath.
Colorectal cancer screening: 40 is the new 50 • healthcare-in-europe.com
Amid the growing trend of colorectal cancer affecting younger populations, a new community-based study by National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) has confirmed that starting fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) between the ages of 40 and 49—rather than waiting until age 50—significantly reduces both the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer.
Improving the body's tolerance to prosthetic implants • healthcare-in-europe.com
An international research team, including scientists from the Institut de Neurociències at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), has developed a new solution to reduce the immune response triggered by neural prosthetics used after limb amputations or severe nerve injuries.
‘It only takes one radiologist to stop child abuse’ • healthcare-in-europe.com
Covid-19 has intensified domestic violence rates worldwide, with children among the most vulnerable victims. At the ECR 2025 radiology congress in Vienna, Dr Rick R. Van Rijn presented compelling insights into how radiologists can identify non-accidental trauma (NAT) in children through systematic imaging approaches. From comprehensive skeletal surveys to specific neurological imaging protocols, the expert explained how these techniques are essential for early intervention and potentially life-saving outcomes.
AI detects fatty liver disease with chest X-rays • healthcare-in-europe.com
Fatty liver disease, caused by the accumulation of fat in the liver, is estimated to affect one in four people worldwide. If left untreated, it can lead to serious complications, such as cirrhosis and liver cancer, making it crucial to detect early and initiate treatment.
