Stereoscopic mammography could reduce recall rate
A new three-dimensional (3-D) digital mammography technique has the potential to significantly improve the accuracy of breast cancer screening, according to a study. Two-dimensional (2-D) x-ray mammography, the current primary screening method for early detection of breast cancer in women, is a valuable tool but has some limitations. Surrounding normal tissue can mask lesions, and […]
Surgeons pilot expandable prosthetic valves for children with congenital heart disease
Surgeons at Boston Children’s Hospital have successfully implanted a modified version of a expandable prosthetic heart valve in several children with mitral valve disease. Unlike traditional prosthetic valves that have a fixed diameter, the expandable valve can be enlarged as a child grows, thus potentially avoiding the repeat valve replacement surgeries that are commonly required […]
Study reveals ‘unacceptably high’ hip resurfacing failure rates
Hip resurfacing – an alternative to hip replacement often recommended to younger patients – is prone to early failure in many instances, and should not be used in women, according to a study led by the University of Bristol. The observational study, conducted on behalf of the National Joint Registry for England and Wales, examined […]
Male fertility can be restored after cancer treatment
An injection of banked sperm-producing stem cells can restore fertility to male primates who become sterile due to cancer drug side effects, according to researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and Magee-Womens Research Institute. In their animal study previously frozen stem cells restored production of sperm that successfully fertilised eggs to produce […]
Patient navigation benefits timely cancer diagnosis, care for vulnerable patients
Researchers at Boston Medical Center (BMC) have shown that patient navigation services help decrease the time to diagnosis for female patients who have received an abnormal result from a breast or cervical cancer screening. The study demonstrates the importance of patient navigation in helping vulnerable populations get the care that they need in a timely […]

First liver cancer ‘chemo-bath’ in the UK
A ‘chemo-bath’ which delivers toxic cancer drugs to just one organ in the body has been used on patients in the UK for the first time, say doctors. Chemotherapy drugs kill rapidly growing cells such as cancers, but they also attack healthy parts of the body. Doctors at Southampton General Hospital believe targeting just one […]
Human eye gives researchers visionary design for new, more natural lens technology
Drawing heavily upon nature for inspiration, a team of researchers has created a new artificial lens that is nearly identical to the natural lens of the human eye. This innovative lens, which is made up of thousands of nanoscale polymer layers, may one day provide a more natural performance in implantable lenses to replace damaged […]
Team finds a new way to inhibit blood clotting and inflammation
Scientists have identified a group of small molecules that interfere with the activity of a compound that initiates multiple steps in blood clotting, including those that lead to the obstruction of veins or arteries, a condition called thrombosis. Blocking the activity of this compound, polyphosphate, could treat thrombosis with fewer bleeding side effects than the […]
