New approach to prostate cancer screening needed
The UK needs to invest in testing for those men most at risk of prostate cancer rather than follow a cast-the-net-wide approach targeting the whole population, a leading scientist from The University of Manchester – part of Manchester Cancer Research Centre – has argued at an international conference. Men in the UK are currently entitled […]
Smartphones become ?eye-phones? with low-cost devices developed by ophthalmologists
Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have developed two inexpensive adapters that enable a smartphone to capture high-quality images of the front and back of the eye. The adapters make it easy for anyone with minimal training to take a picture of the eye and share it securely with other health practitioners or […]
Halting immune response could save brain cells after stroke
A new study in animals shows that using a compound to block the body
Simple EMG classification can improve outcome of nerve transfer surgery
A study by researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) finds that electromyography (EMG) testing to determine the quality of donor nerves can improve the outcome of nerve transfer surgery to restore function in patients with a brachial plexus injury. EMG is a sophisticated test used to objectively measure muscle and nerve function. ‘Our study […]
Research generally finds comparable outcomes for outpatient, inpatient orthopaedic surgeries
As the effectiveness of anaesthesia, pain management and rehabilitation continues to improve, more orthopaedic procedures are being done on an outpatient basis. In a new research study same-day total joint replacement (TJR) patient outcomes were comparable to those of patients admitted to the hospital and staying at least one night following surgery. However, readmission rates, […]
Stroke survivors may lose month of healthy life for 15-minute delay in treatment
Every 15-minute delay in delivering a clot-busting drug after stroke robs survivors of about a month of disability-free life, according to a new study. On the other hand, speeding treatment by just one minute means another 1.8 days of healthy life, researchers said. ‘
Heart scans only useful in prescribing statins under certain conditions
As long as inexpensive statins, which lower cholesterol, are readily available and patients don
Blood-brain barrier repair after stroke may prevent chronic brain deficits
Following ischemic stroke, the integrity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which prevents harmful substances such as inflammatory molecules from entering the brain, can be impaired in cerebral areas distant from initial ischemic insult. This disruptive condition, known as diaschisis, can lead to chronic post-stroke deficits, University of South Florida researchers report. In experiments using laboratory […]
Catheter innovation destroys dangerous biofilms
For the millions of people forced to rely on a plastic tube to eliminate their urine, developing an infection is nearly a 100 percent guarantee after just four weeks. But with the help of a little bubble-blowing, biomedical engineers hope to bring relief to urethras everywhere. About half of the time, the interior of long-term […]
