AI analyses of eye scans can detect diseases like diabetes, osteoporosis and thyroid disea

A new study presents an artificial intelligence system that scans images of the retina to detect signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, gout, osteoporosis and thyroid disease in seconds. The program—called Reti-Pioneer—is a step toward being able to diagnose ma

Experimental vaccine for 'neglected disease' carried by hundreds of millions of people sho

For a vaccine to be effective, it must do two things. First, it must trigger an immune response. Second, the vaccine must train the body to remember the response so it can fight that same disease in the future. Now, new research shows that the only vaccine being tested to prevent

Newfound biomarkers may someday help clinicians better detect—and possibly cure—Lyme disea

Lyme disease can be easiest to treat in its earliest stages, but current tests often miss infections during that critical window and cannot tell whether bacteria are still present or were cleared years ago. New research led by Tufts University School of Medicine suggests that a g

Genetic test ranks risk for Black people hoping to donate a kidney

New evidence supports genetic testing of prospective Black kidney donors to see if they face elevated risks for low kidney function—a factor that could compound health issues if they donate.

Innovative soft robotic heart offers new way to study disease and test life-saving devices

Researchers at UNSW Sydney have developed a fully synthetic soft robotic heart that reproduces the complex movements and internal structures of the human heart, opening the door to better treatments, safer medical devices and more personalized care.

A simple message helps keep stem cell donors on track

When a patient needs a stem cell transplant, finding a registered donor is only the first step. Some potential donors drop out before confirmatory typing, reducing the pool from which doctors can choose. Researchers from Osaka University and collaborators tested whether a small c

Novel biomarker beats leading diagnostic blood test at predicting Alzheimer's progression

Small loops of genetic material may be strong indicators of imminent Alzheimer's disease (AD) symptoms. In a new study published in Nature Medicine, researchers showed that elevated levels of certain circular RNAs (circRNAs) in the blood nearly tripled patients' risk of developin

Brain tau spreads differently in early- and late-onset Alzheimer's disease

A new study from Karolinska Institutet has shown that the amount and distribution of the tau protein in the brain differs between early- and late-onset Alzheimer's disease. The results also indicate that blood tests do not always reflect changes in the brain. The research is publ

Hearing loss in diabetes patients a 'hidden epidemic'

Researchers are calling for hearing tests to become a standard part of diabetes care and for hearing loss to be recognized as a significant complication of the condition. Dr. Mehwish Nisar from UQ's School of Public Health said most people were unaware there was even a connection

Researchers call for increased screening for parasitic disease linked to HIV and cervical

New research from Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) has highlighted the need to test millions of women and girls for female genital schistosomiasis (FGS), a neglected disease that can increase the risk of chronic illness, HIV and cervical cancer.

Preserved testicular tissue produces early germ cells after childhood cancer treatment

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have demonstrated that it is possible to create early germ cells from preserved testicular tissue of young boys facing cancer therapy. The study, published in the journal Human Reproduction Open, may eventually contribute to new ways of protec

Special food additive that helps prevent weight gain is approved in the EU

A pioneering food additive that can stop people from gaining weight has appeared on the EU's Novel Food List, indicating its safety for human consumers. Inulin propionate ester, or IPE, is a dietary fiber developed and tested by scientists at Imperial College London and at SUERC,
