A large real-world clinical trial has found that a generative AI-powered support tool used to support frontline clinicians was safe and improved the quality of clinical decision-making, but did not significantly change short-term patient outcomes.

Researchers at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford, have developed a new calculator that estimates a person's risk of developing serious muscle disorders from statins. The tool could help patients and clinicians make more informed decisio

Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University investigators developed an AI-based model that can identify hospitalized patients at risk of low blood sugar up to 24 hours before the condition occurs. The long short-term memory (LSTM) model, described in npj Digital Medicine, could help

New research suggests that low handgrip strength alone is not a reliable predictor of increased prostate cancer risk among older men. The relationship between low handgrip strength (HGS) and prostate cancer has long remained uncertain in the scientific literature. When clinicians

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

At its heart, health care is a conversation. A patient needs to explain what is wrong. They need to understand their options. They need to make decisions about their own care. Clinicians need clear information, too. They need to understand symptoms, explain risks, discuss treatme

In health care, it is often the smallest moments that carry the greatest meaning—a quiet conversation with a patient, a shared reflection with colleagues, or a hand held in silence. These brief yet powerful connections, known as sacred moments, are the focus of new research explo

One of the uncomfortable truths about multiple sclerosis is that the part of the brain likely to reveal the most about the disease and how a patient will be affected has been mostly invisible to clinicians.

A new study published in JMIR XR and Spatial Computing demonstrates that the way virtual reality therapeutics (VRx) are introduced to patients is a critical factor in how successfully they adopt the technology. The randomized feasibility pilot study builds on growing evidence tha

Women with cancer may not have the same chance of cure or quality of life as men—yet fewer than 2% of Australian cancer clinical trials report results separately for men and women. Women are also more likely to experience severe side effects from cancer treatment, including immun

Early detection and treatment of congenital cerebral ventriculomegaly (CCV)—when a fetus's fluid-filled brain ventricles swell due to a condition called hydrocephalus—can help clinicians prevent developmental or neurological disabilities in affected infants. New research led by i

In a letter published in The Lancet, Penn Nursing's Kathryn Connell, Ph.D., RN, CCRN, argues that nursing is a profession where "dual expertise" is widespread yet structurally invisible. Connell calls for urgent systemic reforms to support nurse clinician-scientists who balance a
