Testing strategy for chronic liver disease: A research team from the Department of Medicine III at MedUni Vienna and University Hospital Vienna has conducted a large-scale study showing the important value of repeated liver assessments by a novel method that can significantly improve risk assessment in patients with chronic liver disease. The dynamics of regular […]
Prediction tool developed to determine benefit of blood cancer treatment: Since its introduction in 2015, a prediction tool developed by the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) has been providing support worldwide in the assessment of the clinical benefits of new cancer therapies. However, previously available versions proved unsuitable for use with malignant diseases of […]

Breast screening technology developed using Artificial Intelligence (AI) can detect abnormalities that would have been missed using current screening procedures. From research to delivery in clinical settings, this groundbreaking work undertaken by the University of Aberdeen, NHS Grampian and Kheiron Medical Technologies has included the analysis of 220 thousand mammograms from more than 55 thousand […]
5 Tips for Practitioners to Make Pap Smear Tests More Comfortable: A pap smear test, also known as a cervical screening test, is performed to detect the presence of abnormal tissue or cells in your cervix. This test can be crucial in identifying early signs of cervical cancer, enabling timely intervention and treatment. The procedure […]
