First Diagnostic X-Rays Performed in Space Expand Astronaut Medical Care

by

A crew of non-medical professionals successfully captured the first diagnostic X-rays in orbit during the Fram2 spaceflight mission in 2025. Published in the journal Radiology by the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), the study confirms that off-the-shelf, portable radiography equipment can operate effectively in microgravity, providing a viable alternative to the ultrasound technology that … Read more

Secukinumab Rapidly Reduces Hidden Joint Inflammation in Psoriasis Patients

by

Secukinumab, an IL-17A inhibitor, significantly reduces subclinical enthesitis in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, according to a study published in the journal Skin. By targeting inflammation at the attachment points of tendons and ligaments before joint pain begins, this treatment may prevent irreversible structural damage associated with psoriatic arthritis (PsA), researchers from The Second Affiliated … Read more

New Wearable Ultrasound Patch Enhances High-Risk Pregnancy Monitoring

by

For decades, monitoring a high-risk pregnancy has been a game of “snapshots.” Doctors rely on bulky, stationary machines and specialized technicians to capture brief glimpses of fetal health, often leaving parents and physicians in a state of high-stress uncertainty. That paradigm is shifting, thanks to a breakthrough in wearable medical technology that promises to transform … Read more

Low-frequency ultrasound waves directly manipulate blood flow properties

by

The Evolution of Ultrasound: From Seeing the Body to Healing It For decades, the medical world has viewed ultrasound primarily as a window into the human body. Whether it is the first glimpse of a developing fetus or a routine check of internal organs, ultrasound has been the gold standard for non-invasive diagnostics. However, a … Read more

Prostate cancer patients recover faster with TULSA than robotic surgery

by

Minimally Invasive Prostate Cancer Treatment: A New Era of Faster Recovery? Men diagnosed with localized, intermediate-risk prostate cancer may soon have a new option that prioritizes a quicker return to daily life. A recent randomized clinical trial, presented at the 2026 Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) Annual Scientific Meeting, suggests that MRI-guided, transurethral ultrasound ablation … Read more

Ultrasound advances offer noninvasive assessment of portal hypertension severity

by

The Future of Portal Hypertension Diagnosis: Beyond Invasive Procedures Portal hypertension (PH), a serious complication of liver cirrhosis, is traditionally diagnosed using invasive procedures to measure the hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG). However, a growing body of research suggests a shift towards non-invasive methods, particularly advanced ultrasound techniques. A recent review published in Portal Hypertension … Read more

Scientists Figure Out How to Use Ultrasound to Bend Electricity Around Solid Objects

by

Taming Lightning: How Ultrasound is Revolutionizing Plasma Control For decades, harnessing the power of electric plasma has been limited by its chaotic nature. Those familiar, branching sparks – while potent – are notoriously difficult to direct. Now, a groundbreaking discovery is changing the game: scientists have found a way to precisely control these erratic discharges … Read more

International urology conference showcases advancements in prostate cancer diagnostics

by

Prostate Cancer Screening: A New Era of Precision and Reduced Anxiety The landscape of prostate cancer screening is rapidly evolving, with advancements showcased at the European Association of Urology Congress (EAU26) in London. From increasingly accurate diagnostic tools to strategies for minimizing patient anxiety, the focus is shifting towards more personalized and effective care. The … Read more

New microscope captures 3D blood flow and oxygenation at single-cell resolution

by

Unlocking the Brain’s Hidden Network: Super-Resolution Microscopy and the Future of Neurological Disease Treatment For decades, neuroscientists have meticulously mapped the activity of individual neurons, seeking to understand the complexities of the human brain. However, a critical piece of the puzzle has remained elusive: the intricate function of the brain’s microvasculature – the network of … Read more

Satellite livers could provide booster function for patients awaiting transplants

by

Injectable “Satellite Livers”: A New Hope for Liver Failure Patients More than 10,000 Americans are currently on the waiting list for a liver transplant, a number that far exceeds the availability of donated organs. For many, the wait is a matter of life, and death. Now, a groundbreaking development from MIT engineers offers a potential … Read more
