An avatar system that enables people with schizophrenia to control the voice of their hallucinations is being developed by researchers at UCL with support from the Wellcome Trust. The computer-based system could provide quick and effective therapy that is far more successful than current pharmaceutical treatments, helping to reduce the frequency and severity of episodes […]
Using MRI and blood tests can establish the cause of death in foetuses and newborn babies and is virtually as accurate as a standard autopsy (open dissection), according to a paper. The study, led by Professor Andrew Taylor from the UCL Institute of Cardiovascular Science and Dr Sudhin Thayyil, NIHR Clinician Scientist and Consultant Neonatologist, […]
A new device could improve how blood pressure is measured, according to NHS researchers. A team at University College London showed a sensor worn on the wrist could measure the pressure of blood leaving the heart throughout the day. Normally blood pressure is measured in the arteries in the arm, but the pressure at the […]

Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center doctors have found that using stress cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in an Emergency Department observation unit to care for patients with acute chest pain is a win-win – for the patient and the institution. In a small, single-centre clinical trial, Chadwick Miller, M.D., M.S., and colleagues found that evaluating […]
Many men with low-risk, localised prostate cancers can safely choose active surveillance or ‘watchful waiting’ instead of undergoing immediate treatment and have better quality of life while reducing health care costs, according to a study by researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Massachusetts General Hospital. They say that their statistical models showed that ‘observation is […]
Millions of people each year have polyps successfully removed during colonoscopies. But when a suspicious polyp is bigger than a marble or in a hard-to-reach location, patients are referred for surgery to remove a portion of their colon
Although as many as 25 percent of patients undergoing surgery suffer from sleep apnea, few hospitals have policies to help manage the risks of this condition during surgery, and there is little evidence to help guide anesthesiologists and surgeons caring for these patients. In a new editorial in the New England Journal of Medicine, Stavros […]

For less than $100, University of Washington researchers have designed a computer-interfaced drawing pad that helps scientists see inside the brains of children with learning disabilities while they read and write. ‘Scientists needed a tool that allows them to see in real time what a person is writing while the scanning is going on in […]
