Prostate cancer patients who were monitored more frequently after treatment did not live significantly longer than patients who were monitored once a year, according to study findings led by a University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center researcher. Researchers presented findings from an analysis of data from nearly 10,500 prostate cancer patients in the […]
A novel positron emission tomography (PET) imaging method shows promise for noninvasively pinpointing sites of inflammation in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Amanda C. Freise, PhD, first author of the study and a lecturer at UCLA, explains the research and its significance. The U.S. Centers for Disease […]
For decades, clinicians treating multiple sclerosis (MS) have interpreted the appearance of new or expanding brain lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans as a sign that a patient’s disease is getting worse. Now, University at Buffalo researchers are finding that it may be the atrophy or disappearance of these lesions into cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) […]
A new way of seeing when heavy wound scars are forming, and providing doctors the chance to intervene, has been developed by scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and Northwestern University in the United States. Clinicians currently find it difficult to predict how scars will develop following surgery or after a burn wound, […]
Researchers have shown that a new nuclear medicine procedure could safely and more effectively detect cancerous gastrointestinal and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours than current methods. Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) can occur in almost any organ, but they are most commonly observed in the pancreas and gastrointestinal tract. The average time until diagnosis is 3 to 10 years. […]
Five percent more cardiac infarctions detected and 11 percent fewer patients suffering a relapse. That is the result of a study of more than 80,000 patients in which two cardiac damage markers (conventional troponin and the newer, high-sensitive troponin T) were compared with each other. “This can serve to motivate hospitals that have not yet […]
Nowadays, tumours inside the complex central nervous system remain one of the most challenging cancers to diagnose. Different from conventional brain-imaging techniques, nearinfrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging demonstrates particular merits including being non-hazardous, offering fast feedback, and having higher sensitivity. A research team led by Prof. ZHENG Hairong from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) […]
Infants in the NICU were more likely to stay asleep during recordings of their mothers reading, finds new research. Babies who spend their first days or weeks of life in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit may not sleep as soundly as those who go home. Now, researchers are examining whether one simple difference could help […]
The International Hospital Federation (IHF) announced in July the 27 finalists in the four categories of the 2018 IHF Awards which honors innovations and outstanding achievements in the healthcare industry. The IHF awards program received a record number of 160 entries from 118 organizations in 33 countries for the IHF / Dr Kwang Tae Kim […]
Infants with diabetes can drop insulin syringes. Researchers from Bergen and Exeter have been leading the work, which causes children worldwide to replace insulin syringes with tablets. "All infants diagnosed with diabetes before 6-7 months of age should be given a rapid gene test to change treatment as soon as possible from insulin to sulfonylurea […]
