Study confirms PSA screening improves survival and safety

After 23 years of follow-up, the European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) confirmed a 13% lower prostate cancer mortality with PSA testing and an improved harm–benefit ratio over time. Risk-based screening could sustain mortality gains while reducing overdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment.

First self-powered spinal implant can transmit real-time data from inside the body

A collaboration between civil engineering and neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh could change how spinal fusion surgery is performed and monitored. Associate Professors Amir Alavi, Nitin Agarwal, and D. Kojo Hamilton have received a $352,213 National Institutes of Health (NIH) R21 grant to develop the first self-powered spinal implant capable of transmitting real-time data from inside the body.
