As the world grapples with the far-reaching consequences of climate change, an unlikely contributor to greenhouse gas emissions emerges: the healthcare sector. A recent study [1] delves into the intricate web connecting healthcare systems and climate change, shedding light on the urgent need for transformative action to mitigate the sector’s environmental footprint.
A team of infectious diseases experts is calling for more awareness and preparedness in the medical field to deal with the impact of climate change on the spread of diseases. Their article, published in JAMA [1] raises the alarm about the emergence and spread of harmful pathogens. The authors also urge the medical community to […]
New results from the I-SPY2 phase 2 clinical trial
The vast majority of young patients given a low-dose boost of radiotherapy to the site where their breast cancer was removed in addition to whole breast radiotherapy, remained free of local recurrence after ten years, according to results of the ‘Young boost trial’ presented at the 14th European Breast Cancer Conference.
Breast cancer patients can safely avoid extensive removal of lymph nodes if they respond well to primary systemic treatment
Human artificial chromosomes (HACs) capable of working within human cells could power advanced gene therapies, including those addressing some cancers, along with many laboratory applications, though serious technical obstacles have hindered their development. Now a team led by researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania has made a significant breakthrough […]
Thanks to an unusual application of game theory and machine learning technology, a large team of scientists led by experts at Cincinnati Children’s has published the world’s most detailed “atlas” of the many types of stem cells and early progenitors involved in producing human blood from diverse donors.
A new research review given at a pre-congress day for this year’s European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID 2024) highlighted the potential artificial intelligence (AI) has to improve the speed and accuracy of investigations into infectious disease outbreaks in hospitals, and potentially provide real time information to stop or prevent them. The […]
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to radically alter the field of healthcare, and it’s already enhancing medical imaging. Penny Pinnock, Siemens Financial Services (SFS), explores how more efficient and accurate technology is contributing to improved healthcare outcomes and helping private hospital groups cope with supporting the NHS backlog in the United Kingdom.
