Timely access to high-quality medical imaging can be lifesaving and life-altering. Radiology can confirm a fractured bone, give us an early glimpse of our baby or detect cancer.
Monash IVF CEO Michael Knaap has resigned after one of the company's Melbourne clinics mistakenly transferred the wrong embryo to a patient. The patient wanted her partner's embryo, but instead her own embryo was transferred.
A new study led by Ananda Basu, M.D., used novel non-radioactive, stable glucagon tracers for the first time to characterize glucagon metabolism in humans with and without Type 1 diabetes, providing tools for further exploration into pancreatic alpha cell function in both Type 1 and 2 diabetes and other metabolic disorders.
Some nasal and baby teething swabs from Zicam and Orajel are being recalled across the country because they may be contaminated with fungus, U.S. health officials said.
Scientists from Colorado State University and the University of São Paulo have overcome a challenge that has prevented medical ultrasound imaging from being used in intensive care and emergency room settings. This technological advancement could someday lead to improved critical care for patients.
Through a device called a brain-computer interface (BCI) it's possible to control a robotic arm or a wheelchair with thoughts alone. But for many users, learning to operate these systems is slow, difficult and, in some cases, unattainable.
College students are more likely to vape if their friends frequently talk about electronic cigarettes, according to a new study from The University of Texas at Arlington. The effect is particularly strong in tight-knit friend groups, where regular conversations about vaping are linked to more consistent use.
Back pain affects as many as 4 out of 5 Americans, and relief can be elusive. That's because it may be caused by multiple overlapping factors that cannot always be visualized on a scan. On the flipside, the scan of a healthy individual may be riddled with spinal abnormalities, none of which require treatment.
Indoor heat exposure is a rising problem for service sector workers, according to a report authored by Hana Shepherd, an associate professor of sociology at Rutgers University-New Brunswick and a senior researcher with the Workplace Justice Lab@RU.
If you were to ask most people what causes cancer, the answer would probably be smoking, alcohol, the sun, hair dye or some other avoidable element. But the most important risk factor for cancer is something else: aging. That's right, the factor most associated with cancer is unavoidable—and a condition that we will all experience.
Reducing supplementary oxygen given to intensive care patients does not deliver any clear and obvious health benefits or harm their chances of survival, according to new research.
You may have heard that astronauts have their appendix removed before leaving Earth. After all, people say you can live without this organ because it serves no purpose, but how much truth is there in this belief?
A study published in Current Biology demonstrates that scientists can identify individuals based solely on their breathing patterns with 96.8% accuracy. These nasal respiratory "fingerprints" also offer insights into physical and mental health.
The population across developed countries is getting older and the associated frailty and debilitation are becoming major health problems. This gradual muscle loss is accelerated by the poor capacity to repair damage and injury, especially after falls or surgeries.
All of us produce a growth factor—called IL-15—which effectively protects us from cancers. Its role is to boost the production of immune cells that can rapidly detect and kill cancer cells when they first appear. One of these cell-types is appropriately called natural killer cells.
A clinical trial led by researchers at The Ottawa Hospital and the University of Ottawa and published in the New England Journal of Medicine illustrates a powerful and efficient approach for comparing different standard treatments.
Softgel capsules—the smooth, easy-to-swallow form of many medications and supplements—are increasingly popular for delivering everything from vitamins to omega-3s. These capsules, made of a liquid center inside a soft, flexible shell, offer convenience and effectiveness. But they've also come under growing scrutiny for one surprising reason: plasticizers.
Wireless health monitoring is rapidly evolving, promising a future where breathing, heart rate, and other key metrics can be tracked passively, continuously, and without the need for wearables, such as smartwatches, fitness trackers, or other bulky medical monitors.
A new study has found children as young as 10 show clinical-level gaming disorder, which researchers say could affect 100,000 Australian children, with a further 350,000 at risk of smartphone addiction.
