Dr Tom Lynch said the medical and IT worlds have come together to produce something unique. A group of medical consultants in Belfast have teamed up with IT specialists to develop a mobile app that can identify where a doctor is going wrong when interpreting X-rays.

Commonly used disinfectants do not kill human papillomavirus (HPV) that makes possible non-sexual transmission of the virus, thus creating a need for hospital policy changes, according to researchers from Penn State College of Medicine and Brigham Young University. ‘Because it is difficult to produce infectious HPV particles for research, little has been known about HPV […]
Surgical implants are widely used in modern medicine but their effectiveness is often compromised by how our bodies react to them. Now, scientists at the University of Cambridge have discovered that implant stiffness is a major cause of this so-called foreign body reaction. An obvious difference between electrodes and brain tissue is stiffness. Brain tissue […]
Defective blood coagulation is one of the leading causes of preventable death in patients who have suffered trauma or undergone surgery. The body
