MRI scans show potential to replace invasive heart tests by predicting heart failure risk

MRI scans could replace invasive heart tests, as new research shows they can reliably estimate pressures inside the heart to predict if a patient will develop heart failure.

Advanced MRI scans could predict persistent symptoms in concussion patients

Offering patients with concussion a type of brain scan known as diffusion tensor imaging MRI could help identify the one in three people who will experience persistent symptoms that can be life changing, say Cambridge researchers.

$Poor physical function, not bone density, drives higher fracture risk in older women with type 2 diabetes$

Poor physical function, not bone density, drives higher fracture risk in older women with type 2 diabetes

Study indicates that older women with type 2 diabetes have a higher risk of fractures primarily due to impaired physical function rather than reduced bone density, despite stronger bone structure.

Short bursts of high-intensity training found effective for stroke survivors

One-minute, short bursts of high-intensity interval training for 19 minutes may be more effective for improving fitness among people six months or more after a stroke than traditional, 20-30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise sessions, according to research published today in Stroke, the peer-reviewed scientific journal of the American Stroke Association, a division of the American Heart Association.

Cancer screening costs exceed $40 billion annually in the United States

A modeling study estimates cancer screening costs in the United States exceed $40 billion annually, highlighting the need for policy prioritization to enhance equitable access. The study emphasizes that recommended screenings significantly reduce cancer-specific mortality and can be cost-effective.
