PET scanning can offer more precise selection of patients for neuroendocrine tumor therapy, allowing some patients to qualify who would otherwise have been ineligible, according to a new article.
Read moreBlood pressure medication can prevent fluid retention and muscle wasting in heart failure.
Read moreScientists found a calcium channel expressed in astrocytes in the brain to be a highly sensitive target for LILFU-induced neuronal activity in the motor cortex, such as tail movement.
Read moreA new scientific statement identifies the risks and benefits of novel interventional devices compared to anticoagulation alone in the treatment of patients with pulmonary embolism. Authors conclude there is little data — particularly, as it pertains to the treatment of patients with 'intermediate-risk PE' — that suggests these interventional approaches are more safe and effective than the use of anticoagulation alone.
Read moreScientists provide a foundation for quantitatively determining how differences in viewing angles affect the resulting 3D structures of proteins, and could help other researchers determine the best setup for experiments to improve the imaging technique called cryo-EM.
Read moreResearchers have developed a new non-invasive optical imaging system that promises to improve diagnosis and treatments for dry eye disease. Dry eye, which often causes irritation and blurred vision, occurs when there is instability in the inner layer of the tear film that protects the outside of the eye.
Read moreThe study details the nature of the injury, specifies the brain regions involved, including the blood-brain barrier and suggests a possible cause in the form of 'cholinesterase inhibitors,' with 'organophosphorus insecticides' being a likely source. Cholinesterase (ChE) is one of the key enzymes required for the proper functioning of the nervous systems of humans, invertebrates and insects.
Read moreBioengineer's smart surgical microscope shows promise for more accurately and quickly identifying cancer cells in the operating room.
Read moreResearchers use artificial intelligence to improve quality of images recorded by a relatively new biomedical imaging method. This paves the way towards more accurate diagnosis and cost-effective devices.
Read moreMen with prostate cancer can be spared radiotherapy after surgery, according to new results. The study answers a longstanding question about whether the benefits of radiotherapy after surgery outweigh the side-effects.
