Nonprofit donates wedding dresses to health care workers on pandemic frontlines Registered nurse Nicole Harris, a bride-to-be receiving a donated wedding dress, and Heidi Janson, founder of Brides Across America, join ‘Fox & Friends.’ A Texas wedding where the groom was allegedly aware he had COVID-19 was the source of a potential superspreader event after […]
A new study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Federal Reserve Board of Governors found that Medicare beneficiaries who go on to be diagnosed with dementia are more likely to miss payments on bills as early as six years before a clinical diagnosis. The study also found […]
According to an open-access article in ARRS’ American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR), ultrasound (US)-guided percutaneous pleural needle biopsy (PCPNB) has excellent diagnostic accuracy for small pleural lesions. “US-guided PCPNB is highly likely to be diagnostic for small pleural lesions with nodular morphology on CT or US, or with pleural thickness—4.5 mm,” explained Jongmin Park and […]
Severe mental illness diagnoses are missed by clinicians in more than one quarter of cases when people are hospitalised for other conditions, finds a new study led by UCL researchers. People from ethnic minority groups are even more likely to have previously diagnosed mental illnesses go unnoticed by medical staff, according to the findings from […]
It may seem like a lifetime ago, but it was only in late January 2020 that Singapore confirmed its first case of the then-novel coronavirus causing COVID-19. Amid the frenzied atmosphere of the Chinese New Year holidays, few would have suspected that the strange pneumonia would snowball into the global pandemic that it is today. […]
Cancer diagnosis requires a lengthy process of multiple analyses of tissue biopsies, impeding the quick and early detection of cancers. In a new study, researchers from Osaka University developed a novel imaging system that uses near-infrared light to be less invasive and more time efficient than the conventional approach. Histopathological analysis, or the investigation of […]
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an important innovation in diagnostics, because it can quickly learn to recognize abnormalities that a doctor would also label as a disease. But the way that these systems work is often opaque, and doctors do have a better ‘overall picture’ when they make the diagnosis. In a new publication, researchers from […]

Radiolabeled molecules, so-called radiotracers, help nuclear physicians to detect and precisely target tumors, which often develop due to pathological changes in metabolic processes. Using positron emission tomography, a team of scientists at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has now developed the first radiotracer labelled with the fluorine isotope 18F, which can visualize special transport proteins often found […]
