Liver cancer after Hepatitis C: new tool developed

Hepatitis C can now be effectively treated, thanks to modern drugs. However, despite having been cured, some patients can go on to develop liver cancer. Currently, biannual ultrasound screening is done to monitor for incipient cancer. A research team at MedUni Vienna has now developed a new tool that can determine patients’ cancer risk in […]

Thyroid disorders in 1 in 20 UK adults

Thyroid disorders in 1 in 20 UK adults: The leading blood testing specialist Dr Quinton Fivelman says 1 in 20 UK adults may have a thyroid disorder. Almost 15% of Covid patients admitted to hospital show previously undiagnosed thyroid problems, while around 1 in 4 over-65s have some sort of thyroid dysfunction. He urges everyone […]

COVID-19 booster safe in immunosuppressed patients

COVID-19 booster vaccination is safe and effective in immunosuppressed patients: Patients under immunosuppressive therapy, who do not respond to primary COVID-19 vaccination, have an increased risk for severe COVID-19 disease courses. Until now, it was not clear whether those patients at risk can benefit from an additional booster vaccination. Recent research findings from MedUni Vienna […]

WHO: A healthy diet, a healthier world

Today there is a new nutrition reality. It is a reality where undernutrition (such as micronutrient deficiencies, stunting and wasting) , overweight, obesity and diet-related noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) like diabetes and cancer now coexist in the same countries, communities, households and even individuals. This is what is called the double burden of malnutrition which impacts […]
