Machine Learning Algorithm Diagnoses Stroke With 83% Accuracy
New research has shown that a machine learning (ML) algorithm, utilizing hospital data and social determinants of health data, can diagnose a stroke quickly—before laboratory test results or diagnostic images become available—with 83% accuracy. More...11 Apr 2023


World's First Studies with Bedside Portable MRI in Pediatric ECMO Patients Demonstrate Safety and Efficacy
The world's first study of children receiving ECMO therapy using mobile magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has found that the scan can be performed safely without any problems. More...07 Apr 2023

Smart Injectable Hydrogel with Oxygen-Scavenging Capability Inhibits Tumor Growth
The use of hypoxia-activated prodrugs (HAPs) for cancer therapy continues to face obstacles such as suboptimal therapeutic results due to challenges in accessing the hypoxic area and the development of metastases due to hypoxia. Now, researchers have suggested a novel treatment approach that can enhance HAP-based chemotherapy and inhibit tumor metastasis. More...06 Apr 2023

Tumor-Initiating Cell Probe makes it Possible to Simultaneously Diagnose and Treat Cancer
Researchers have successfully determined the ability of fluorescent probe for tumor-initiating cell yellow (TiY) to stain the cells responsible for tumor growth as well as suppress the growth of those cells at the same time. More...05 Apr 2023

Implantable Self-Charging Battery Kills Tumor Cells by Sucking Oxygen
A new study has found that implanting an oxygen-consuming battery while simultaneously administering the experimental class of cancer drugs in mice with cancer caused the tumors to shrink or disappear within two weeks. More...05 Apr 2023
