A team of UC Davis scientists has used dynamic total-body positron emission tomography (PET) to provide the first imaging of the human body's immune response to COVID-19 infection in recovering patients. Their work, published in Science Advances, could lead to a better understanding of how the body's immune system responds to viral infections and develops long-term protection against re-infection.

Prior authorization is required for over 70% of imaging services for cancer care, according to survey findings published October 18 in JAMA Network Open. A team led by Fumiko Chino, MD, from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, also found that prior authorization led to 22% of patients not receiving the care recommended by their treatment team and that most respondents experienced a delay in recommended oncology care.

milla1cf Thu, 10/19/2023 - 17:48 October 19, 2023 — The lung is one of the tissues most sensitive to radiation in the human body. People exposed to high radiation doses following nuclear incidents develop radiation-induced lung injury (RILI), which affects the function of many cell types in the lung, causing acute and sustained inflammation, and in the longer term, the thickening and scarring of lung tissue known as fibrosis.

To date, researchers have struggled to determine any risk factors that could shed light on who might experience these types of side effects ahead of time.

The development of tumors begins with miniscule changes within the body's cells; ion diffusion at the smallest scales is decisive in the performance of batteries. Until now the resolution of conventional imaging methods has not been high enough to represent these processes in detail. A research team has now developed diamond quantum sensors which can be used to improve resolution in magnetic imaging.

GE HealthCare is collaborating with Novo Nordisk to further advance the clinical and product development of peripheral-focused ultrasound (PFUS) to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. PFUS is a non-invasive type of bioelectronic medicine that uses ultrasound to activate the nervous system to stimulate a response that may be able to treat disease. Previous reports suggest that it could impact glucose metabolism in people with diabetes through personalized ultrasound stimulation of nerve pathways.
