The Trump administration's crackdown on healthcare fraud has led people with disabilities to feel unfairly targeted, raising concerns about access to needed medical services.
Researchers developed a new technique called TumorLens that can detect a wide range of genetic and epigenetic changes in cancer cells using long-read sequencing. This could lead to more accurate cancer diagnosis and personalized treatments.
A study found a gap between pregnancy desire and actual attempts among young women, with and without breast cancer history. This highlights the need to consider the nuances of reproductive decision-making for diverse populations.
Analysis found TrumpRx does not actually offer the world's lowest drug prices as claimed, contradicting U.S. officials and disappointing patients hoping for relief from high medication costs.
A simple blood test taken 48 hours after cardiac arrest can predict long-term brain injury risk, allowing earlier treatment to improve recovery and quality of life for cardiac arrest survivors.
Scientists developed a new imaging technique that can measure concentration gradients in 2D without using labels, which could help researchers better understand processes like drug diffusion and cell signaling.
A watchdog group found the weed-killing chemical glyphosate in South African baby cereal, which raises concerns about the safety of common food products for infants.
Influential ecologist Paul Ehrlich, known for warning about overpopulation, has died at age 93. His controversial predictions about population growth and resource scarcity sparked important debates about sustainability and public policy.
Researchers developed a new technique that can accurately predict how cancer patients will respond to drugs, using just a small amount of patient data - this could lead to more personalized and effective cancer treatments.
Researchers found that while AI models can handle multiple ultrasound tasks, they may perform worse than specialized models. This matters as it could impact the accuracy and usefulness of AI-powered medical imaging tools.
Researchers developed a new imaging technique that can measure pancreatic beta cell mass in living humans, which could help diagnose and monitor diabetes.
A new AI-based tool called CRIMSON can help evaluate the quality of automatically generated medical reports, ensuring they are clinically accurate and relevant to patient care.
A new platform helps people find and understand clinical trials by combining trial registry data with relevant research articles. This makes it easier for people to access information about ongoing studies that could affect their health.
Radiologists often disagree on whether cancer treatment is working in pleural mesothelioma patients, which could impact the accuracy of clinical trials testing new treatments.
Researchers developed a new statistical method to improve how treatment effects are estimated from clinical trials, even when the trial participants don't fully match the real-world population. This can lead to more accurate predictions of how treatments will work in practice.
Projected rise in deadly blood infections, but new rapid tests could help reduce burden and improve outcomes for patients in England and the US.
A study of syphilis bacteria genomes found high genetic diversity in Africa, providing insights into how syphilis spreads globally - this could help develop better surveillance and vaccines to combat the rise in syphilis cases worldwide.
A new AI system can automatically categorize tumor types in cancer registries, saving hundreds of hours of manual labor annually and helping improve cancer care and tracking at the population level.
A new device can analyze exhaled breath to detect early signs of lung cancer, which could lead to faster diagnosis and treatment before symptoms appear.
A new AI-based tool called CRIMSON can help evaluate the quality of automatically generated medical reports, ensuring they are clinically accurate and relevant to patient care.
A new AI system can automatically assess the quality of medical image translations, ensuring accuracy for critical applications like treatment planning where errors could impact patient outcomes.
A new study finds that doctors are increasingly using advice services to get specialist input, helping them avoid unnecessary patient referrals and improve care.
Researchers found that the genes regulating heart disease in children are different from those in adults. This could mean current heart disease treatments may not work as well for children as they do for adults.
New rehabilitation therapy helped stroke patients regain arm movement, reflecting changes in brain activity rather than just reduced impairment.
Ugandan patients with gastrointestinal cancers face devastating financial burdens from surgery costs, highlighting the urgent need for improved healthcare access and affordability in underserved regions.
Researchers worked with patients, families, and doctors to identify top priorities for improving pediatric stem cell transplants, which could lead to better treatments for children with serious blood disorders.
