Study compares the nodule management protocols used in NELSON and National Lung Cancer Screening Trial

The protocol used to screen and detect lung cancer in the NELSON Trial is more sensitive than the protocol used in the National Lung Cancer Screening Trial, particularly for early-stage cancers, according to research reported today at the IASLC World Conference on Lung Cancer 2022 in Vienna.

$Synchrotron X-ray diffraction can aid in the diagnosis of invisible traumatic brain injuries$

Synchrotron X-ray diffraction can aid in the diagnosis of invisible traumatic brain injuries

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are usually diagnosed with MRI and computed tomography scans, but these techniques often miss more mild damage.

AI-based gaze deviation detection can aid in quick stroke diagnosis, expand access to lifesaving care

A new study presented today at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery's (SNIS) 19th Annual Meeting shows that artificial intelligence (AI) technology can identify when a patient is having a stroke caused by emergent large vessel occlusion (LVO), therefore making them a candidate for endovascular therapy (EVT).

Diabetes not strongly associated with in-hospital COVID mortality

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers assessed the association between diabetes mellitus (type 2 diabetes) and mortality among patients hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) at multiple centers in Canada and Denmark.

New K+-sensitive dual-mode imaging probe for diagnosis of tumor malignancy

Tumor malignancy identification plays an essential role in clinical management of cancer. Currently, biopsy is the gold standard for malignancy identification in most tumor cases, it is, however, invasive that can cause great discomfort to patients, and potentially increase the risk of distant metastases due to the complex sampling process.

Study shows long COVID remodeling of T cell dynamics is dependent on SARS-CoV-2 severity

A new study found that the post-COVID-19 functional remodeling of T cells occurs in two steps and confers different convalescent immune states, six months after SARS-CoV-2 infection.

New $5.3 million NIH grant will support researchers into understanding lung cancer recurrence

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis are leading a national study aimed at identifying patients with early-stage lung cancer who are at high risk of having the cancer return, even after surgery and chemotherapy appear to have eliminated their tumors.
