Nearly 50 new cancer therapies are approved every year. This is good news. "But for patients and their treating physicians, it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep track and to select the treatment methods from which the people affected—each with their very individual tumor characteristics—will benefit the most," says Dr. Altuna Akalin, head of the Bioinformatics and Omics Data Science technology platform at the Berlin Institute for Medical Systems Biology of the Max Delbrück Center (MDC-BIMSB).
A new PET tracer can provide insights into how spinal cord injuries affect not only the spinal cord, but also the brain, according to new research published in The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. By identifying synapse loss, the PET approach provides molecularly unique and complementary information to other structural imaging methods, offering a promising objective metric to evaluate novel therapeutics for spinal cord injuries.
Limited access and required funding are the key challenges facing health officials trying to respond to the latest Ebola outbreak in southern Congo, the World Health Organization said on Friday.

Parents of children with variable levels of walking impairment perceive significant quality of life improvements in their children after six months of living with a mobility assistance dog, according to the first qualitative assessment of its type that provides important evidence in an area of growing therapeutic interest.
Researchers from National Taiwan University Hospital and Academia Sinica have identified a simple blood marker that can reliably pinpoint chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients at negligible risk of developing liver cancer.
Previous research from the University of Miami showed that children can recognize sick faces, demonstrating that even kids can pick up on illness cues, though accuracy varies by age. Now, researchers have taken this line of research one step further to answer the question: Can this skill be improved through training?
The video head impulse test (vHIT) and caloric test can help differentiate Meniere disease (MD) from vestibular migraine (VM), according to a study published online Aug. 6 in Frontiers in Neurology.
What causes poor outcomes in patients with advanced peripheral artery disease who develop a complication called chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), which has a high risk of limb amputation due to the restriction of blood flow to the extremities?
As Canada's health care system rapidly adopts digital technologies, a group of Canadian researchers is calling for a major overhaul of health professional education to ensure consistent, outcomes-based training in digital health and informatics competencies.
In clinical settings, accurately understanding patients' emotions and responding appropriately plays a critical role in improving treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction.
Researchers have identified the mechanism by which a common genetic mutation increases liver disease risk. Their findings suggest that healthy choices, such as increasing antioxidants and limiting exposure to smoke, may reduce the risk of this disease.
There is at present no quick, reliable, and evidence-based way of evaluating the extent of nerve damage and need for surgical intervention after a patient experiences an acute injury.
According to a recent study, older Americans with chronic low back pain who received acupuncture had greater improvement in physical function and reduced pain than those who received usual medical care only, generally prescribed medications or physical therapy.
A simple fitness tracker might hold the key to revolutionizing maternal health care. Scientists at Scripps Research have found preliminary evidence suggesting that common wearable devices such as the Apple Watch, Garmin and Fitbit could remotely monitor pregnancy-related health changes by tracking physiological patterns—like heart rate—that correlate with hormonal fluctuations.
Tumor immunotherapies, especially those leveraging T-cells to identify and eliminate cancer cells, represent a major breakthrough in cancer treatment. However, many tumor-associated antigens are not expressed at a high enough density on the cancer cell surface to effectively activate T-cells, and these antigens are often present at low levels in normal tissues, leading to poor treatment specificity and potential off-target toxic side effects.
A research team from the Department of Pathology at the University of Hong Kong's LKS Faculty of Medicine (HKUMed) has discovered that atorvastatin, a widely used cholesterol-lowering drug, could become a powerful new weapon in the fight against liver cancer.
A simple AI model has been shown to perform on a par with experienced dermatologists when assessing the aggressiveness of a common form of skin cancer, squamous cell carcinoma. The research was headed by the University of Gothenburg.
The MIRA2 study conducted at the University of Helsinki investigated bone metabolism and the intake of nutrients critical to bone health, such as calcium, vitamin D and protein. The study involved children residing in Helsinki aged between two and seven who followed a vegan, vegetarian or omnivorous diet, as well as their caregivers.
