MRI scans predict patients’ ability to fight the spread of cancer

A simple, non-invasive procedure that can indicate how long patients with cancer that has spread to the brain might survive and whether they are likely to respond to immunotherapy has been developed by researchers in Liverpool.The technique, which can be done using standard hospital-based Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans, could one day remove the need […]

An AI oncologist to help cancer patients worldwide

Before performing radiation therapy, radiation oncologists first carefully review medical images of the patient to identify the gross tumour volume, the observable portion of the disease. They then design patient-specific clinical target volumes that include surrounding tissues, since these regions can hide cancerous cells and provide pathways for metastasis. Known as contouring, this process establishes […]

Mandatory flu vaccines for health care workers improve rates, reduce absenteeism

Mandatory flu vaccines for health care workers improve participation by as much as 30 percent and reduce absenteeism during critical periods of patient surges by about 6 percent, findings from a multi-institutional study show. Previous work focused on the impact of health care worker vaccination on improving patient outcomes. The findings expand the potential benefits […]

MRI can detect placental perfusion abnormalities in pregnancies complicated by foetal CHD

In pregnancies complicated by foetal congenital heart disease (CHD), global placental perfusion was significantly decreased and regional variation of placental perfusion significantly increased as pregnancies progressed, findings that point to non-invasive imaging providing an early warning of placental dysfunction. A Children’s National Health System research team is thought to be the first to report non-invasive, […]

Probiotic gets boost from breast milk

Supplementation with probiotics can improve a person’s gut health, but the benefits are often fleeting, and colonization by the probiotic’s good microbes usually doesn’t last. Breast milk may help sustain those colonies in the long run, say researchers at the University of California, Davis. In a study they report that breastfeeding babies who received a […]

What is the best way to treat infected hip replacements?

New research has found treating an infected hip replacement in a single stage procedure may be as effective or better than the widely used two-stage procedure. To date no well-designed study has compared these procedures head-to-head to decide if one is better or if they achieve the same results. Hip replacement is a very common […]
