Paediatric researchers have devised an innovative, safe and minimally invasive procedure that helps relieve rare but potentially life-threatening airway blockages occurring in children who had surgery for congenital heart defects. The physician-researchers developed new imaging tools and used minimally invasive catheterization techniques to treat plastic bronchitis, a condition in which abnormal circulation causes lymphatic fluid […]
A team of Oxford University researchers has developed a technique that could improve heart scans for patients, giving more information about the heart than traditional scans and without any injections, making them safer and faster. The group of medical, physics and engineering researchers are based at the Oxford Centre for Clinical Magnetic Resonance Research (OCMR). […]
A large registry study led from Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet sheds new light on the much debated issue of transfusions with stored blood. The study shows that the use of stored blood units does not influence patient outcomes after heart surgery. In Sweden and most other western countries, blood units can be stored for as long […]
Researchers at the University of Warwick have worked with Coventry-based Medherant, a Warwick spinout company, to produce and patent the world’s first ever ibuprofen patch delivering the drug directly through skin to exactly where it is needed at a consistent dose rate. They have invented a transparent adhesive patch that can consistently deliver a prolonged […]
UHCW pathologist David Snead and scientists in Coventry are now using technology that could revolutionize how some cancers are diagnosed. A high-tech computer system is able to read samples of human tissue and aid pathologists in the identification of minute changes in cells that can indicate cancer is present. More than 10,000 slides were examined […]
The hormone oestrogen helps protect memory and promote a healthy brain, but this effect wanes as women age, and even estrogen replacement therapy stops working in humans after age 65. Now researchers at University of Florida Health have used gene therapy in a rat model to show that the expression of a particular receptor can […]
Patients who have had a stroke in the back of the brain are at greater risk of having another within two years if blood flow to the region is diminished, according to results of a multi-centre study led by researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago. These stroke patients are the most likely to […]
A team of researchers have discovered a new way for early detection of a potentially deadly fungal infection in patients with suppressed immune systems such as those being treated for leukemia or who have had an organ transplant. A multidisciplinary research group led by Allan Brasier of The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. […]
Using antidepressants during pregnancy greatly increases the risk of autism, Professor Anick Berard of the University of Montreal and its affiliated CHU Sainte-Justine children’s hospital revealed. Prof. Berard, an internationally renowned expert in the fields of pharmaceutical safety during pregnancy, came to her conclusions after reviewing data covering 145,456 pregnancies. ‘The variety of causes of […]
If there is a technical exploration of the human body that the physician practice in any medical examination to diagnose or prescribe additional tests, it is palpation. The brain, however, has the distinction of being not possible to feel without a very invasive procedure (opening of the skull) reserved for rare cases. Drawing on seismology, […]
