Endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is a valuable method for diagnosing a range of cardiac conditions, but there is a risk of complications due to its invasive nature. Researchers have now found a way to combine right ventricular (RV) septal EMB, exploiting the benefit of 3D curved conduction system pacing (CSP) sheaths, with subsequent cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED, devices like pacemakers or defibrillators to regulate heart rhythm) implantation, using the same sheath.

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Lynx Dx, a leader in innovative diagnostic solutions, today announced the commercial launch of MyProstateScore 2.0 (MPS2) for at-home collection by patients. The test kit, ordered by a physician, is now available to patients and is eligible for Medicare reimbursement.

FragFold, developed by MIT Biology researchers, is a computational method with potential for impact on biological research and therapeutic applications.

Melbourne-based scientists have, for the first time, discovered how to “switch off” a molecule which is one of the top culprits behind prostate cancer, and is also linked to lung and kidney cancers.

A research team from Sinai Health and the University of Toronto has identified a way to determine which mothers are more likely to deliver a baby preterm, raising the possibility of developing a universal screening strategy.

In parts of the world where traveling to a clinic for routine blood tests is a financial and logistical challenge, HIV patients increasingly have the option to collect and ship a drop of their blood in paper-based devices that absorb the sample and store it for analysis in far-away labs.

Insulin resistance precedes and predicts the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), a chronic disease that causes high morbidity and mortality worldwide. In affected people, insulin is unable to facilitate the uptake of glucose through tissues and organs, leading to an increase in blood glucose (chronic hyperglycemia). Since skeletal muscle is the tissue that uses the most glucose in response to insulin action, it is the most affected tissue by insulin resistance.
