Freezing kidney tumors is a safe alternative to surgery
Percutaneous cryoablation, a relatively non-invasive technique that destroys tumors by freezing them, is a safe method for treating kidney tumors in selected patients who are not considered candidates for surgery, according to a new study by researchers from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. view more (2006-05-01)
MR Arthrography is More Accurate than MR in Diagnosing Shoulder Tears
MR arthrography of the shoulder allows physicians to better identify tears and provides patients with an accurate diagnosis to determine whether or not surgery is needed, according to a study performed at Neuroskeletal Imaging in Merritt Island, Florida. view more (2009-01-07)
Bypass surgery tops angioplasty for sickest heart patients

Keyhole Surgery For Colorectal Cancer Offers Same Prognosis As Conventional Surgery (p 1187)
Laparoscopy ('keyhole surgery') for colorectal cancer could be the future treatment of choice after results of a study from Hong Kong in this week's issue of THE LANCET show how it is associated with a similar 5-year survival outcome and more favourable recovery time than conventional surgery. Colorectal cancer is one of the commonest forms of... view more... (2004-04-07)
Simple breath test may replace endoscopy

ESC Congress 2004: Dutch "ICTUS" study shows no benefit from early PCI/CABG in high risk unstable angina patients
Patients with chest pain are recognized as being at high risk of subsequent adverse cardiac events when their plasma levels of cardiac troponin are elevated as evidence of myocardial damage. Based on earlier studies, ESC and ACC/AHA guidelines recommend early angiography and PCI or CABG (early invasive strategy) in all these high risk patients.... view more... (2004-08-29)

Attack of the invasive garden ants
An ant that is native to Eurasia is threatening to become the latest in a procession of species to invade Europe, as a result of inadvertent human introduction. Research published in the online open access journal BMC Biology demonstrates that the invasive garden ant, Lasius neglectus, which is a threat to native species, may already be more... view more...
