Scientists at Houston Methodist Research Institute have discovered that a fast-rising strep bacterium comes in more forms than expected, including ones that may lead to life-threatening infections. The study, led by James Musser, M.D., Ph.D., […]
A new system that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to assess cardiovascular risk based on images of the eye captured during eye exams demonstrated strong correlation with a standard cardiovascular risk assessment, according to a study […]
Scientists at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) have made progress in recent months with the discovery of a novel compound, named MF-8. The compound and its associated pharmaceuticals demonstrate significant potential to provide safer, […]
In the first head-to-head comparison of two devices intended to protect against stroke in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), the investigational Emboliner device performed comparably to the Sentinel device, which is approved by […]
