A new study published in Academic Radiology has demonstrated that an artificial intelligence (AI)-based model can accurately detect low bone mineral density (BMD) from routine chest radiographs, potentially offering a noninvasive tool for early screening and intervention. The AI model was trained on thousands of chest X-rays and corresponding dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans, the […]
A retrospective cohort study aimed to quantify trends in oncologist subspecialization and assess differences in subspecialized cancer care utilization in the U.S. The researchers found that between 2008 and 2020, oncology subspecialization increased significantly, however, gaps in utilization between high- and low- income areas have grown despite higher cancer mortality in low-income areas. These differences […]
Genetic testing of IVF-created embryos could help more women over 35 have a baby in less time, a clinical trial by researchers from King’s College London, King’s College Hospital, and King’s Fertility has found. Published today in the Journal of Clinical Medicine, this is the first randomised controlled trial worldwide to focus exclusively on women […]
USA: Researchers have found in a new study that children with RSV are over 1.5 times more likely to be hospitalized than those with HMPV, with infants under 6 months facing more than three times the risk. The study, published in the journal Pediatrics by the American Academy of Pediatrics, was conducted by Leah A. […]
A Mediterranean-style diet, in combination with reduced caloric intake, moderate physical activity, and professional support for weight loss, may cut the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) by 31%, according to a new study co-authored by researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The study will be published August 25, 2025, in the […]
China: A new secondary analysis of the Catheter Ablation vs Anti-Arrhythmic Drug Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation (CABANA) trial suggests that the benefit of catheter ablation over drug therapy in atrial fibrillation (AF) largely depends on the patient’s burden of non-modifiable recurrence risk factors (NMRRFs). The study, led by Zhen Wang and colleagues from the Department […]
In a large-scale multinational study involving over 400,000 women and men aged 37 to 70 years from six European countries, researchers from the University of Vienna, in collaboration with the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) (France) and the Kyung Hee University (Republic of Korea), investigated dietary habits and disease trajectories. The comprehensive data […]
China: Researchers have found in a recent study that portable handheld ultrasound devices can provide reliable VExUS (Venous Excess Ultrasound) assessments in critically ill patients while significantly reducing examination time compared to conventional ultrasound. The findings, published in the Journal of Critical Care, suggest that this approach can enhance efficiency in intensive care units (ICUs) […]
Research shows that younger men with type 2 diabetes face higher risks of mortality and cardiovascular disease compared to those with type 1 diabetes. In contrast, women experience worse outcomes with type 1 diabetes across all age groups. The first study of its kind to compare cardiovascular risk in type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type […]
A recent study published in the Journal of American Medical Association revealed that adding argatroban or eptifibatide to intravenous thrombolysis did not improve reperfusion rates or clinical outcomes in patients undergoing endovascular thrombectomy. The findings from the Multi-Arm Optimization of Stroke Thrombolysis (MOST) trial was conducted between 2019 and 2023. The study followed patients for 90 […]
