A select population of patients having surgery experience what is called pain catastrophizing
University of Queensland researchers have found seven peptides (mini-proteins) in spider venom that block the molecular pathway responsible for sending pain signals from nerves to the brain. The discovery could inspire a new class of potent painkillers with fewer side effects than current medications. The research team, led by Professor Glenn King from UQ
An early snapshot of study outcomes suggests that the use of a processed amniotic fluid allograft may be safe and effective for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA) as an alternative to hyaluronic acid (HA). Longer-lasting

Data from the ILUMIEN II trial found that guidance from optimal coherence tomography (OCT) was associated with comparable stent expansion as guidance from intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Coronary stents must be optimally deployed with full lesion coverage and complete stent expansion to optimize outcomes. Less than full expansion can […]

NYU Langone Medical Center became the first academic medical centre to implant a newly FDA-approved heart valve for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with severe aortic stenosis. Mathew R. Williams, MD performed the TAVR procedure and the patient was discharged to her home only two days later. Five additional patients have successfully undergone […]
Adenomas are rare liver tumours, a certain percentage of which can become malignant. Using a new MR (magnetic resonance) technique at MedUni Vienna, it is now possible to classify adenomas without subjecting patients to invasive tissue sampling procedures. Hitherto patients have had to undergo biopsy to take tissue samples for histological examination in order to […]
