Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET imaging could improve the length and quality of life for patients with recurrent prostate cancer, according to a study published October 23 in JAMA Network Open. In a modeling study of simulated patients, compared with conventional imaging, PSMA-PET was estimated to lead to fewer deaths from prostate cancer, more life years, and more quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) per 1,000 patients.

After only one to three days of a whiplash injury, scientists can predict which patients will develop chronic pain based on the extent of cross 'talk' between two regions of the brain, and the person's anxiety level after the injury, according to a new study. The study showed the more the hippocampus -- the brain's memory center -- talked to the cortex -- involved in long term memory storage -- the more likely the person is to develop chronic pain.
