An article on the workplace as a major determinant of health has been published in The Lancet, and reveals a global picture of the work-related causes of mental health conditions.
Show moreMany breast cancer survivors take a hormonal drug after cancer treatment to stave off a recurrence, but new research suggests these drugs may be less effective in women who are obese.
Show moreInvestigators from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai found that an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm can detect an abnormal heart rhythm in people not yet showing symptoms.
Show moreResearchers at RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences and Advanced Materials and Bioengineering Research Centre (AMBER) have developed a new surgical implant that has the potential to transform the treatment of complex bone infections. When implanted on an injured or infected bone, the material can not only speed up bone healing it also reduces the risk of infections without the need
... Show morePhysician-investigators at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) compared a chatbot's probabilistic reasoning to that of human clinicians. The findings, published in JAMA Network Open, suggest that artificial intelligence could serve as useful clinical decision support tools for physicians.
Show moreThe use of AI makes it possible for women with a high risk of breast cancer to be identified in mammography screening examinations so that the cancer can be caught earlier. An international research group led from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden has now shown that the method is effective in different European countries. The study is published in The Lancet Regional Health—Europe.
Show moreArtificial intelligence (AI) is already widely used in medical diagnostics. An Austrian-Australian research team led by dermatologist Harald Kittler from MedUni Vienna has investigated the extent to which diagnosis and therapy of pigmented skin lesions benefit from it in a realistic clinical scenario.
Show moreMany people with intellectual disability are diagnosed with cancer when it has already spread (metastasised) and the odds of survival are lower.
Show moreThe most lethal feature of any cancer is metastasis, the spread of cancer cells throughout the body. New research led by Penn State reveals for the first time the mechanics behind how breast cancer cells may invade healthy tissues. The discovery, showing that a motor protein called dynein powers the movement of cancer cells in soft tissue models, offers new clinical targets against metastasis
... Show moreA study published Online First by the Lancet shows that -- using a cheap, portable electroencephalography (EEG) device -- awareness can be detected in people previously thought to be in a permanently vegetative state. The article is by Professor Adrian M Owen and Dr. Damian Cruse, Centre for Brain and Mind, University of Western Ontario, London, ON, Canada, and colleagues.
