Based on biopsy results, thousands of donated kidneys each year are discarded instead of being transplanted, but a new study from physicians at Columbia University Medical Center and NewYork-Presbyterian suggests that biopsies underestimate organ quality.“It’s a complex issue, but our findings suggest that biopsy results should be used not to discard organs, but instead used […]
Having a loved one go through a critical illness is a stressful and traumatic experience that may have lasting effects months after the patient is discharged from the intensive care unit (ICU). To improve the well-being of both patients and family during this vulnerable time, a set of new guidelines has been released, providing physicians […]
An Alberta-led clinical trial has shown Faecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT) is effective in treating clostridium difficile (C. difficile) infections whether delivered by colonoscopy or by swallowing capsules. The finding could revolutionize and broaden the use of FMT, which restores the healthy balance of bacteria living in the intestine by transferring a healthy donor’s stool to […]
In a review article, physicians at Johns Hopkins, along with experts from several other institutions across north America, compiled published evidence and crafted an experience-based quality improvement blueprint to reduce repetitive lab testing for hospitalised patients. Repeated blood draws for such tests can lead to hospital-acquired anaemia and other complications. This is the second paper […]
Pancreatic cancer has one of the worst prognoses — with a five-year survival rate of 9 percent — in part because there are no telltale symptoms or non-invasive screening tools to catch a tumour before it spreads. Now, University of Washington researchers have developed an app that could allow people to easily screen for pancreatic […]
Opioid-free general anaesthesia is safe, effective and dramatically decreases postoperative nausea, according to a single-centre study of more than 1,000 patients. Using opioid alternatives during general anaesthesia is part of an effort by TEAMHealth Anesthesia at Select Physicians Surgery Center in Tampa, Florida to reduce the use of opioids during and after surgery. The study […]
Every year millions of people around the world are diagnosed with heart failure, a chronic, progressive condition where the heart is unable to pump enough oxygenated blood throughout the body.

With the effects of Congenital Zika syndrome manifesting in infants as more than microcephaly, rather a pattern of congenital anomalies, including intracranial and other brain or eye anomalies, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recently updated guidelines for physicians monitoring the development of infants born to mothers with a possible Zika virus infection during pregnancy.Included […]
Researchers from the University of Houston have shown for the first time that the use of a brain-computer interface augmented with a virtual walking avatar can control gait, suggesting the protocol may help patients recover the ability to walk after stroke, some spinal cord injuries and certain other gait disabilities.Researchers said the work, done at […]
