Researchers have found a critical link between having two types of polyps, common growths found in the bowel, and an increased risk of developing cancer.

A new study has identified genetic variants linked to brain function, immune defence and metabolism that contribute to the development of frailty in older people.

McGill University researchers have developed and are licensing a digital tool to help safely reduce patients’ use of medications that may be unnecessary or even harmful to them.

A new study from Karolinska Institutet shows that centenarians not only live longer, they also stay healthier than other older people, with fewer diseases that develop more slowly.

In a large study of Medicare beneficiaries with multiple sclerosis (MS), researchers found that those in plans with broader coverage of MS treatments had a significantly lower risk of developing new or worsening symptoms months later.

Researchers have developed a deep-learning model for predicting the malignancy of high-risk thyroid nodules. The model outperformed radiologists in diagnostic performance, and could significantly reduce the risk of missed diagnoses.

An AI model can use a combination of information, including glucose levels from wearable monitors, diet and genetic information, to flag early signs of diabetes risk.

Researchers from RMIT University have developed a wearable wound monitoring device with integrated sensors that could reduce infection risks by minimising the need for frequent physical contact.

A US study of 300,000 prostate cancer patients found that 1 in 6 men diagnosed with Grade Group 1 cancer had higher-risk disease. Over 18,000 cases had clinical features suggesting surgery or radiation was needed.

Researchers analyzed over 10,000 advanced solid tumors and found actionable genetic alterations in more than 90% of cases. The team identified mutations, gene fusions, and pathway changes linked to approved therapies.
