A BMJ investigation reveals almost nine in 10 NHS acute trusts use local employment contracts that trap thousands of doctors – predominantly international medical graduates and ethnic minorities – in roles lacking training opportunities, career progression, and nationally agreed safeguards. Some doctors remain in these precarious positions for over a decade.
Siemens Healthineers has announced a comprehensive strategic restructuring at its Capital Markets Day in London, introducing a new reporting framework centred on three distinct segments and targeting annual revenue growth of 5-7% through fiscal year 2030.
A pioneering study tracking brain activity in patients taking the weight-loss drug tirzepatide has uncovered distinctive neural patterns associated with food preoccupation, offering the first direct evidence of how incretin-based therapies modulate reward circuitry in humans. The research reveals a specific low-frequency brain signal that precedes intense food cravings and demonstrates how pharmacological intervention may […]
A new report in the New England Journal of Medicine outlines six practical strategies to strengthen fundamental clinical skills and restore the doctor-patient relationship in an increasingly technology-driven healthcare environment.
MIT engineers have developed a flexible drug-delivery patch that can be placed on the heart after a heart attack, delivering therapeutics on a programmed schedule to promote healing and regeneration. In rat studies, the patch reduced damaged tissue by 50% and significantly improved cardiac function, offering a potential breakthrough for post-myocardial infarction treatment.
Researchers present a comprehensive framework linking Arctic and Antarctic transformations to worldwide disease burden, from vector-borne illnesses to cardiovascular mortality, urging urgent interdisciplinary action to integrate polar tipping points into health impact assessments and clinical preparedness strategies.
The European Association for the Study of Obesity has released comprehensive guidance positioning semaglutide and tirzepatide as primary treatments for obesity and most complications. The framework, published in Nature Medicine, represents a paradigm shift towards complication-focused prescribing rather than weight loss alone, with recommendations based on systematic meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.
A simple nursing assessment of patient-reported breathlessness during hospitalisation can identify those at dramatically elevated risk of death, with post-admission dyspnoea linked to a sixfold increase in mortality compared with patients reporting no breathing difficulty, according to research published in ERJ Open Research.
Researchers at University College London have developed NextBrain, a probabilistic histological atlas of the entire human brain that enables automated segmentation of magnetic resonance imaging scans into 333 distinct regions of interest. Built from approximately 10,000 histological sections across five brain hemispheres, the atlas combines artificial intelligence-enabled registration techniques with Bayesian segmentation methods to provide […]
The European Union has initiated funding for the European Research Institute on Simulation (ERIS), a coordinated effort to address the fragmentation of simulation-based medical education across member states. The two-year project, running from 1 May 2025 to 30 April 2027, aims to establish the first pan-European framework for simulation training in interventional cardiac electrophysiology.
