The American Stroke Association has released new guidelines to prevent first-time strokes, emphasising healthy lifestyle choices and managing risk factors.

AI technology is on the verge of transforming eye care by aiding in the diagnosis of infectious keratitis, a major cause of corneal blindness, with accuracy comparable to eye specialists.

Researchers developed an AI-based deep learning model that uses retinal images to detect early-stage Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment with high accuracy, offering a noninvasive, cost-effective screening tool.

Eye care specialists could see artificial intelligence help in diagnosing infectious keratitis (IK), a leading cause of corneal blindness worldwide, as a new study finds that deep learning models showed similar levels of accuracy in identifying infection.

A five-year study on a low-carbohydrate, remote care intervention for type 2 diabetes shows significant improvements in diabetes remission, weight loss, and cardiometabolic health, reducing the need for medications.

A device that delivers direct stimulation to the brain was found to be a safe and effective means of treating depression at home, according to a new study by researchers at UTHealth Houston; the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at King's College London; and the University of East London.

A new PET scan reliably detects benign tumors in the pancreas, according to research led by Radboud university medical center.

Harvard Medical School unveils an AI digital pathology tool that outperforms state-of-the-art deep learning methods, detecting multiple cancer types with up to 96 percent accuracy.

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune disorder in which antibodies block communication between nerves and muscle, resulting in weakness of the skeletal muscles.

Healthy lifestyle behaviors, such as good nutrition, smoking cessation and being physically active, along with routine health screenings and managing risk factors for cardiovascular disease and stroke with medication, can help prevent individuals from having a first stroke.

A recent study has found that women who use hormonal birth control, particularly intrauterine devices (IUDs), have higher rates of breas

Many women who receive chemotherapy experience a decreased ability to remember, concentrate, and/or think-;commonly referred to as "chemo-brain" or "brain fog"-;both short- and long-term.

A study in JAMA Oncology links dietary quality to prostate cancer grade reclassification risk, suggesting healthier diets may reduce progression in early cases.

While recovering from major surgery, Black patients may be less likely to receive certain multimodal analgesia options and more likely to receive oral opioids than white patients, according to research being presented at the ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2024 annual meeting.

A new Cleveland Clinic study has identified diet-derived chemicals termed metabolites as the primary drivers of young-onset colorectal cancer risk,

Long-term, low-dose antiviral treatment reduces the risk for potentially vision-damaging bouts of inflammation and infection, as well as pain, which occur when shingles affects the eye, according to new research presented October 19 at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) in Chicago.

Researchers have discovered a family of enzymes that work to reduce IgG-mediated pathologies in diseases like MG. The findings, involving mouse models, show that a specific enzyme (an endoglycosidase called CU43) was particularly effective in treating those diseases caused by overactive antibodies.

Updated clinical recommendations, including lifestyle changes, prevention strategies and treatment options, to reduce the risk of a first stroke have been outlined in a new guideline.

A new, computerized, mental health assessment tool may allow doctors to quickly identify children experiencing anxiety or depression before surgery, suggests new research presented at the ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2024 annual meeting.

People who experience poor sleep in the month before surgery may be more likely to develop postoperative delirium, according to new research being presented at the ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2024 annual meeting.

A new PET scan reliably detects benign tumors in the pancreas, according to new research. Current scans often fail to detect these insulinomas, even though they cause symptoms due to low blood sugar levels. Once the tumor is found, surgery is possible.

Scientists have discovered that tuberculosis disrupts glucose metabolism in the body.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, may help reduce patients' risk of postoperative delirium, according to a study presented at the ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2024 annual meeting.
