Robotic 'coaches' aiding upper limb rehabilitation for stroke and brain injury survivors have been successfully trialled in Vienna, Austria. This international pilot study was led by researchers from Heriot-Watt University's National Robotarium.
Starting antiviral treatment as late as 14 days after infection with Sars-CoV-2 may still be beneficial in hosts with compromised immune systems, who are at greatest risk of developing severe Covid-19, according to researchers in the Center for Translational Antiviral Research at Georgia State University’s Institute for Biomedical Sciences.
No-touch graft harvesting did not appear to be beneficial compared with the conventional technique for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session at ESC Congress 2024.
Heart failure during pregnancy is a dangerous and often under-detected condition because common symptoms – shortness of breath, extreme fatigue and trouble breathing while lying down – are easily mistaken for typical pregnancy discomforts.
Emergency care specialists must be aware of critically-important factors when treating pregnant women with severe hypertension. Experts say criteria for severely high blood pressure sits at a lower threshold for expectant mothers in comparison with non-pregnant individuals. As a result, detailed diagnosis and treatment protocols are essential with clinicians needing to adopt a specific approach when treating these patients in the Emergency Department (ED).
Early detection of breast cancer through mammography screening continues to save lives. However, abnormal findings on mammograms can lead to women being recalled for additional imaging and biopsies, many of which turn out to be “false positives,” meaning they do not result in a cancer diagnosis.
According to research presented at the European Society of Cardiology's (ESC) 2024 congress, women with endometriosis have a 20% greater risk of significant cardiac outcomes compared with women without endometriosis.
Surgeons from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and ETH Zurich have successfully conducted the world’s first in vivo teleoperated magnetic endoscopy using an animal model, over a distance of 9,300 kilometers between Zurich and Hong Kong.
A team of researchers from the University of Cologne’s Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital Cologne, led by Dr Yuri Tolkach and Professor Dr Reinhard Büttner, has created a digital pathology platform based on artificial intelligence.
Researchers from the AMBER SFI Centre for Advanced Materials and BioEngineering Research and Trinity College Dublin, led by Dr David Hoey, have successfully replicated the behaviour of a blood vessel and its guiding structure to regenerate damaged tissue.
A new molecular imaging technique that pairs a novel tracer with a next-generation PET/CT scanner can identify neuroblastoma in children with high sensitivity, requiring a scan time of only minutes and no sedation or anesthesia.
To evade the human host’s immune response, Sars-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes Covid-19, uses the machinery of defense cells to induce the expression of unproductive isoforms of key antiviral genes – variant forms of genes that result from disrupted splicing or transcription processes and do not code for functional (protective) proteins.
Researchers have developed a new genomic technique that can track the spread of multiple superbugs in a hospital simultaneously, which could help prevent and manage common hospital infections quicker and more effectively than ever before.
Reasearch led by Amsterdam University Medical Center (UMC), across more than 5 years and 1100 patients has demonstrated a strategy for reducing inappropriate IV use by a third, an effect that was sustained across the five-year period.
National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers discover that while artificial intelligence (AI) tools can make accurate diagnoses from textbook-like descriptions of genetic diseases, the tools are significantly less accurate when analyzing summaries written by patients about their own health.
