| | Prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in American men. | |
|
| | This large prospective UK study compared five low-cost fingertip pulse oximeters with arterial blood gas measurements and found that readings varied systematically by skin tone and oxygen saturation level. Small average overestimations in darker skin translated into clinically meaningful increases in missed hypoxemia at commonly used SpO2 thresholds. | |
|
| | Researchers have developed a wearable, comfortable and washable device called Revoice that could help people regain the ability to communicate naturally and fluently following a stroke, without the need for invasive brain implants. | |
|
| | Investigators at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have opened a clinical trial that will look at whether combining precision radiation with a targeted radioactive therapy drug can help patients with recurrent prostate cancer delay progression, while delaying or avoiding the side effects of long-term hormone therapy. | |
|
| | Anyone who has ever had to get a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan knows that magnetic and highly conductive materials are a no-go in the tube-shaped scanners. | |
|
| | From a physiological perspective, heartbeats and breathing do not operate independently in the human body. Cardiac rhythm varies with the respiratory cycle, and the close interaction between the two is known as cardiopulmonary coupling (CPC). | |
|
| | People with from spinal cord injuries often lose some or all their limb function. In most patients, the nerves in their limbs work fine, and the neurons in their brain are still operational, but the damage to their spinal cords prevents the two areas from communicating. | |
