A new test can guide treatment for patients with graft versus host disease (GVHD), an often life-threatening complication of bone marrow and stem cell transplants, according to research from the University of Michigan. Better way to personalize treatment for bone marrow transplant patients Patients with fatal blood cancers like leukaemia often need bone marrow or […]
Women who have breast cancer on their left side present a particular challenge to radiation oncologists. Studies have shown that the risk of heart disease is higher in this group of women after radiation treatment because it can be difficult to ensure that a sufficient dose of radiation is delivered to the left breast while […]
Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute scientists have developed a brain-imaging technique that may be able to identify children with autism spectrum disorder in just two minutes. This test, while far from being used as the clinical standard of care, offers promising diagnostic potential once it undergoes more research and evaluation.
Autism is a spectrum of closely related disorders diagnosed in patients who exhibit a shared core of symptoms, including delays in learning to communicate and interact socially. Early detection of autism in children is the key for treatments to be most effective and produce the best outcomes. Using advanced three-dimensional imaging and statistical analysis techniques, […]
Despite the variety of effective treatments, and physicians who specialize in treating pain, women often suffer unnecessarily from conditions ranging from backaches to pain after cancer surgery, and also treat their pain with medications that may be ineffective and possibly harmful, according to a review of research related to women and pain by the American […]
New research is challenging what many obstetricians and physician anaesthesiologists believe is the best way to position women during labour. According to a study, the traditional practice of positioning women on their side, with hips tilted at 15 degrees, during labour does not effectively reduce compression of the inferior vena cava, a large vein located […]
For patients experiencing non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS), a rapid invasive strategy (within 24 hours) using coronary angiography and other interventions is beneficial for high-risk as well as low-risk patients. However, this treatment may be constrained on weekends by the need to mobilize on-call catheterization teams. A new study evaluated costs associated with an […]
A new medical imaging method being developed at Rutgers University could help physicians detect cancer and other diseases earlier than before, speeding treatment and reducing the need for invasive, time-consuming biopsies.The potentially lifesaving technique uses nanotechnology to reveal small cancerous tumours and cardiovascular lesions deep inside the body. It is showing promise in early tests […]
In new research, investigators concluded that overuse of cardiac stress testing using advanced imaging technology has led to increasing healthcare costs in the United States and unnecessary radiation exposure to patients. Researchers from the New York University Langone Medical Center in what is believed to be the first comprehensive examination of trends in cardiac stress […]
