A swallowable "nanocage" may offer a new strategy for treating #gastriccancer more precisely while reducing damage to healthy tissue, according to findings from a new preclinical #study. http://dlvr.it/TThvh2

#Photothermal therapy to selectively destroy #cancer cells shows promise as a much less invasive treatment option than surgery or radiation. Now, researchers cleared 2 major hurdles for the method. http://dlvr.it/TTh5L9

As the #aorta gains recognition as a functioning organ, the lack of standardised #imaging protocols is becoming an increasingly pressing concern. At ECR 2026 in 🇦🇹 Vienna, Professor Nicola Galea from 🇮🇹 Sapienza University of Rome made a compelling case for unified imaging approaches. #Radiology

Researchers have developed an #AI technology that analyzes daily activity and environmental data from older adults to identify digital behavioral markers of #cerebrovascular disease risk at home. http://dlvr.it/TTc0bc

Why does #prostatecancer in some patients grow slowly and remain localized while it becomes aggressive and metastasizes in others? In a new paper led by 🇺🇸 @sbpdiscovery.bsky.social, researchers identify the answer: #tumor methylation.

🫁 #Asthma attacks induce mechanical forces that permanently alter airway tissue – independently of inflammation alone. New #research used advanced lung-on-a-chip technology to show how this damage occurs. http://dlvr.it/TTLk3T

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is being renamed Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) – but will it help those it affects? Experts from 🇬🇧 @kent.ac.uk argue what else needs to change to make a difference. #PCOS #PMOS http://dlvr.it/TSw81t

#VirtualReality before #surgery could help reduce #pain in the early postoperative period among adolescents undergoing surgery for funnel chest, according to new research. #pectusexcavatum #VR http://dlvr.it/TSnTk2

Researchers have developed a novel 3D‑printed ceramic #implant material that closely mimics real human #bone. The findings advance the development of personalised bone #regeneration and may lead to more effective and accessible treatments for bone defects. #3Dprinting #medicalresearch

#Endometriosis affects up to one in ten women and girls of reproductive age, but for many, the path to #diagnosis is both long and complex. Now, two new studies explain the diagnostic challenges in #primarycare. http://dlvr.it/TSZf37

Researchers are developing a portable #AI powered scanning slit-light device, designed to make 👁️ ophthalmic care more accessible, so #EyeHealth can be assessed any place, and any time. #Ophthalmology http://dlvr.it/TRzXLn

A new review shows that chronic #stress fuels inflammation, suppresses immune defenses, and may actively drive #cancer progression. Therefore, #psychooncology should be part of standard cancer care, the researchers argue. http://dlvr.it/TRlv5S

Two new studies explore the role of the #thymus – a small organ in the chest, and possibly a missing piece in explaining why people age differently, and why #cancer treatments fail in some patients. http://dlvr.it/TRbdDX

🫀 Researchers have discovered a new way to protect the #heart during #chemotherapy without reducing antitumor efficacy. This could reduce long-term #cardiovascular complications for #cancer patients. http://dlvr.it/TRTlRM

A small but growing body of evidence suggests that a minimally invasive #surgical procedure called lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) might be an effective #treatment for #Alzheimers disease, reports @plasticsurgeryasps.bsky.social.

Researchers have created a ‘cyborg’ #pancreas device - an ultrathin mesh of conductive wires within growing pancreatic tissue - that could open up new ways for treating #diabetes. http://dlvr.it/TRDB7F

🫀 #Diabetes and #kidney disease are among the biggest — and most overlooked — drivers of #heart disease. A new survey from 🇺🇸 @americanheart.bsky.social shows many people don't even know the connection exists. http://dlvr.it/TRCRzY

Researchers at 🇩🇪 @kit.edu have developed an #AI model to predict how well patients with hip #osteoarthritis will be able to walk again after #surgery. http://dlvr.it/TR5XTq

Less cancers missed, fewer complications: Researchers say #mindfulness enables #endoscopy procedures to be done to a higher standard in awake patients than is currently possible under general #anaesthesia or #sedation. http://dlvr.it/TR4prZ

Not all #cancer mutations are equal: new #research shows that a single #mutation hotspot can generate a rich diversity of #tumour behaviours. This insight could open the door to more personalised cancer treatment. http://dlvr.it/TQy3R2

🤰 Women who had a #stroke caused by blocked blood vessels are twice as likely to have another stroke during #pregnancy and within 6 weeks of #childbirth, according to a new study presented at #ISC26. http://dlvr.it/TQh5dk

#Immunotherapy has been hailed as a breakthrough in #cancer treatment. But new research reveals: under sustained treatment pressure, cancer cells do not simply weaken — they adapt, learn, and fight back. http://dlvr.it/TQQ68Z

The immune system’s reaction to the common Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can ultimately damage the 🧠 brain and contribute to #MultipleSclerosis (MS), a new study from 🇸🇪 @ki.se shows. #EBV http://dlvr.it/TQPKFQ

Researchers at 🇯🇵 Osaka Metropolitan University have discovered a practical way to detect and fix common #AI labeling errors in large collections of #radiology images. http://dlvr.it/TQHmJX

Happy holidays from Healthcare in Europe! 🎄✨ We're taking a break and will be back in early January with fresh stories from the world of healthcare. Wishing all our readers a wonderful time and a great start to the New Year! 💫

To soften up #tumors prior to #cancer #chemotherapy, a researchers from 🇺🇸 @colorado.edu paired high-frequency #ultrasound waves with sound-responsive particle to reduce the protein content of the tumors. http://dlvr.it/TPy0RT

A 🩸 blood test can accurately predict the chance of survival with good recovery of patients in #IntensiveCare after #CardiacArrest. This is shown in a study led by 🇸🇪 @lund-university.bsky.social. http://dlvr.it/TPxGyG

Researchers from 🇯🇵 Osaka have developed a simple and efficient system for understanding the functions of specific #norovirus genes, providing new avenues for developing antivirals and #vaccines. #MedicalResearch http://dlvr.it/TPpZ7n

New immunotherapies are effective against #skincancer, but they can cause serious side effects. New insights suggest that a 📉 lower dosage may lead to better outcomes and longer survival. #immunotherapy http://dlvr.it/TPnsdp
