Non-invasive oxygenation strategies such as high-flow nasal cannula, continuous positive airway pressure, and non-invasive bilevel ventilation can effectively avoid intubation in patients with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure. These strategies can be delivered through interfaces like facemasks or helmets. Avoiding unnecessary intubation has become...Read more

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is difficult to detect primarily because of the lack of measurable indicators – or biomarkers – before patients exhibit symptoms of this form of dementia. However, damage to the brain occurs years before AD is already symptomatic and advanced. New research from the University of Minnesota has looked into a promising...Read more

According to new analysis from Frost & Sullivan, advancement in oncologic imaging methods has facilitated early diagnosis and has reduced mortality and cancer management costs. Oncologic imaging has shifted from invasive imaging to non- or minimally-invasive methods as well as real-time monitoring of tumours without damaging tissues. There has...Read more

Researchers at Vanderbilt University's Institute of Imaging Science have achieved the first validated non-invasive measurement of neural signalling in the spinal cords of healthy human volunteers. This new imaging technology can play a role in helping patients to recover from spinal cord injuries and other disorders that affect spinal cord function,...Read more
