Artificial intelligence has moved from science fiction to everyday reality in a matter of years, being used for everything from online activity to driving cars. Even, yes, to make medical diagnoses. But that doesn’t mean people are ready to let AI drive all their medical decisions. The technology is quickly evolving to help guide clinical […]
According to ARRS’ American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR), to ensure that patients with emergent or life-threatening imaging indications can continue receiving care, radiology practice leaders need to quickly assess their contrast inventories, prioritize examination findings, and reduce overall iodinated contrast media (ICM) usage. “Establishing awareness of the ICM shortage throughout the hospital system is an […]
Results of a new European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) survey presented today at EADV’s Spring Symposium show that 1.71% of the adult European general population reported having skin cancer, meaning some 7,304,000 Europeans are estimated to have the disease. This is despite skin cancer being the most preventable cancer, since most cases are […]
In health care, perhaps no word sends a more chilling message than "cancer." Brain tumors, for example, prove especially resistant to current treatments. Only 5% of patients with that condition survive more than three years and the median survival time is 10 to 14 months. But an innovative research project by University of Nebraska–Lincoln scientists […]
BAKHMUT, Ukraine (Reuters) – The hospital in the small Ukrainian town of Bakhmut was never intended to receive queues of ambulances bringing the wounded and traumatised from the front line of Europe’s biggest battlefield. Nor did the volunteer paramedics expect, four months ago, to be shuttling back and forth to the front line of a […]
The Human Cell Atlas goal of mapping every cell type in the human body to transform our knowledge of biology, infection and disease is a milestone step closer with four studies published in Science today. Researchers with the international Human Cell Atlas (HCA) consortium have created highly detailed maps of more than a million individual […]
The Omicron variant of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has fueled a fresh resurgence of cases worldwide because of its much higher transmissibility and significant immune response evasion capabilities than earlier variants. This was exacerbated by the waning of immunity induced by earlier infection with the virus or by vaccination. Study: Modeling […]

The study covered in this summary was published on ResearchSquare.com as a preprint and has not yet been peer reviewed. Key Takeaway A higher triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and greater variability in that index are both independently associated with an elevated risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Why This Matters By studying the association between long-term TyG […]
Distinct genetic variants significantly influence an individual’s immune response to the SARS-CoV-2 virus and may influence the COVID-19 disease severity. A research group led by MedUni Vienna was able to demonstrate that distinct genetic variants of the CD16a antibody receptor are associated with the risk of severe COVID-19. This affects about 15% of the population. […]
