Severe sleep apnea may be a risk factor for liver damage
Many patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are obese and therefore at risk of having fatty liver, a condition in which fat accumulates in the liver cells. But the link between OSA and liver injury independent of weight has yet to be examined. view more (2005-05-25)
Minimally invasive solid tumor biopsy may replace surgery to get diagnostic specimens
Inserting biopsy needles through the skin appears to be a safe and reliable alternative to surgery for obtaining diagnostic samples of a suspected solid tumor in children, according to results of a study by investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. view more (2005-07-25)
Core needle biopsy gives an accurate picture of gene expression in whole tumor
The gene expression profile detected in the core needle biopsy of a breast tumour is representative of gene expression in the whole tumour. view more (2006-08-21)
Study finds nerve damage in previously mysterious chronic pain syndrome
Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have found the first evidence of a physical abnormality underlying the chronic pain condition called reflex sympathetic dystrophy or complex regional pain syndrome-I (CRPS-I). view more (2006-01-31)
Study highlights the ramifications of medical misdiagnosis
A new research study shows how common a medical misdiagnosis can be and how severely it can exacerbate a disease. view more (2005-11-07)
Some benign breast lesions could be dangerous
Certain breast lesions diagnosed as benign on core needle biopsy have cancer at surgical excision and thus should be removed, according to a study appearing in the March issue of Radiology. view more (2006-02-28)
Clues to the cause of difficulty with swallowing in children
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EE) is disease that was first described in children only 20 years ago, but has shown a rising incidence in both children and adults. view more (2007-01-19)
MR spectroscopy significantly reduces need for breast biopsy
In a study featured in the June issue of Radiology, researchers found that imaging suspicious breast lesions with magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy reduced the need for biopsy by 58 percent. view more (2006-05-30)
New advance in prostate cancer management
Scientists from The Institute of Cancer Research have developed a technique which will markedly help in predicting the behaviour of prostate cancer. view more (2005-08-10)
Sometimes no treatment is the right option for low-risk prostate cancer
When Houston restaurateur Tony Masraff was diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer, his life was packed with dancing, running marathons, playing tennis, gardening, leading a successful business and spending time with his family. view more (2006-03-24)
Novel device shows potential in better detecting oral cancer
Researchers supported by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, part of the National Institutes of Health, report today their initial success using a customized optical device that allows dentists to visualize in a completely new way whether a patient might have a developing oral cancer. view more (2006-04-11)
Chronic middle ear infections linked to resistant biofilm bacteria
Direct evidence of bacterial biofilms has been found on the middle ear tissue of children who suffer from chronic ear infections. view more (2006-07-12)
Consensus panel calls for expanded role of needle biopsies, MRI and less invasive procedures
Physicians should strive to replace traditional, invasive procedures for diagnosing breast cancer with proven, less-invasive diagnostic methods, according to an international panel of breast cancer experts convened at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California. view more (2005-10-10)
Optical imaging added to ultrasound improves breast cancer diagnosis
A new study shows that combining a technology called optical tomography with standard ultrasound imaging can help distinguish early-stage breast cancer from non-cancerous lesions-and potentially reduce the number of breast biopsies performed. view more (2005-09-27)
UC Davis study finds HIV hiding from drugs in gut, preventing immune recovery
UC Davis researchers have discovered that the human immunodeficiency virus, the virus that causes AIDS, is able to survive efforts to destroy it by hiding out in the mucosal tissues of the intestine. view more (2006-07-31)
Molecular markers signal early metastases from ocular melanoma

Portuguese distinguished in article about stomach cancer
Three Portuguese researchers are co-authors of a scientific article about hereditary stomach cancer, published in the medical journal "New England Journal of Medicine" and recently awarded the Benjamin Castleman 2002 Award. Attributed by the International Academy of Pathology, the prize distinguishes the best scientific work in human pathology... view more... (2002-06-18)
Image-guided biopsy can help patients avoid unnecessary kidney removal
Percutaneous image-guided biopsy of renal masses is safe and accurate, and it frequently alters clinical decision making, says a new study from the University of Michigan. view more (2006-05-01)
Liver diagnosis breakthrough with Mayo Clinic MRI development
Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a new technique for using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to accurately measure the hardness or elasticity of the liver. First tests show this technology - called MR Elastography (MRE) - holds great promise for detecting liver fibrosis, a common condition that can lead to incurable cirrhosis if not treated... view more...

Sensitive and specific biomarker for early detection of prostate cancer identified
Scientists at a Maryland-based pharmaceutical company have preliminary evidence showing that a protein in the blood may prove to be a biomarker that is more sensitive and specific than current methods of early detection for prostate cancer. view more (2006-09-14)
