Researchers from 🇫🇮 @jyuit.bsky.social at @uniofjyvaskyla.bsky.social have developed a new #AI model that enables more efficient analysis of #tissue samples taken from #colorectalcancer tumours. This can help shorten #diagnosis times, reduce costs, and improve diagnostic accuracy.
Improved detection of clinical errors and time-saving on the one hand, inadequate training on the other: the latest #FutureHealthIndex points out benefits and challenges of #medicalAI integration. http://dlvr.it/TT1W5g
When the #spinalcord is damaged, the resulting #paralysis is usually considered permanent. Now, a new #research approach using lab-grown organoid models led by @lakatoslab.bsky.social from 🇬🇧 @cam.ac.uk suggests that it actually might be reversed.
A newly developed portable, point-of-care #PET scanner presented at the @snm-mi.bsky.social Annual meeting in 🇺🇸 Los Angeles could provide a cost-effective approach for hospitals to perform biopsies, tumor ablations, and other procedures in constrained clinical environments. #MobileImaging #POCT
Researchers developed a simple, rapid, and low-radiation #X-ray technique to evaluate the severity of pulmonary valve regurgitation – a common complication after surgical repair of #TetralogyOfFallot. http://dlvr.it/TT0d5R
🪝🪱 A #hookworm can survive in the human gut for years. Researchers from 🇺🇸 @washumedicine.bsky.social have now harnessed that biological mechanism for potential human benefit, engineering a hookworm to produce and deliver a 💊 drug within a living host.
🫀 A new study from 🇬🇧 @uniofeastanglia.bsky.social and @nnuh.bsky.social reveals how a simple #angiogram scoring system could help identify patients whose #heart muscle is still alive - even when a major artery has been completely blocked for months. #CardioSky
A research team led by 🇬🇧 @cam.ac.uk has found a way to engineer vaccines that could provide broad protection from thousands of #virus variants - e.g., #coronavirus or #Ebola - in a single #vaccine. http://dlvr.it/TT26j3
A new #imaging approach that measures synaptic density in the spinal cord provides a quantitative way to assess the brain's functional wiring in patients with #MultipleSclerosis. Study results from 🇨🇦 @camhnews.bsky.social at @utoronto.ca were presented at the @snm-mi.bsky.social Annual Meeting.
Many women with #breastcancer can safely avoid #chemotherapy using a gene test, potentially sparing them side effects without increasing the risk of the cancer returning, finds a clinical trial led by 🇬🇧 @ucl.ac.uk, with 🏴 @glasgow.ac.uk, presented at @ascocancer.bsky.social's Annual Meeting #ASCO26.
The heart already has its own built-in bypass system that predicts whether the heart muscle is alive or dead - according to new research from the University of East Anglia and Norfolk and Norwich Univ...
Cambridge scientists have grown miniature circuits in the lab that mimic how the brain and spinal cord connect up, which underlies our movements. They used this model to show how damage to these conne...
Researchers at the Faculty of Information Technology at the University of Jyväskylä have used artificial intelligence to speed up the analysis of colorectal cancer samples and predict the functioning ...
Findings indicate test to guide treatment decisions could help substantial number of patients avoid unnecessary chemotherapy without compromising outcomes
