IVF Clinic Networks Accelerate Digital Investment to Boost Efficiency

Fertility clinic networks are increasing investment in predictive analytics and digital systems to improve cycle throughput and financial performance.

DMT Antidepressant

DMT Outperforms Standard Antidepressant

A single intraperitoneal dose of DMT (30 mg/kg) administered after UCMS exposure reversed depressive-like behaviours and restored cognitive performance, outperforming chronic fluoxetine treatment.

Cast immobilisation

Cast Immobilisation for Unstable Ankle Fractures

Cast immobilisation proved non-inferior to surgery for the treatment of unimalleolar Weber B ankle fractures with a congruent mortise on initial radiography but deemed unstable by external rotation stress testing.

Juvenile Localised Scleroderma

Mycophenolate Matches Methotrexate in Juvenile Localised Scleroderma

A cohort study shows mycophenolate mofetil and methotrexate reduce disease activity in juvenile localised scleroderma, with fewer adverse effects seen with MMF.

chronic fatigue syndrome

Brain Connectivity Changes in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

New imaging evidence shows altered brain networks during cognitive effort in chronic fatigue syndrome and long COVID patients.

lung cancer classification

Lightweight Neural Networks Improve Lung Cancer Diagnosis

A comparative study shows that lightweight convolutional neural networks can accurately classify lung cancer histopathology with strong generalisation and reduced computational complexity.

Postoperative Analgesia in Dermatologic Surgery Shows Low Adverse Events

Perioperative liposomal bupivacaine injections showed minimal adverse events in 129 dermatologic surgery patients in a new review.

pneumonia

Major Study Reveals New Genetic Links to Pneumonia

Study of over 600,000 people finds genetic differences influencing pneumonia risk across age, immunity, and smoking behaviour.

Methotrexate vs Mycophenolate in Juvenile Localized Scleroderma

In juvenile localized scleroderma, mycophenolate mofetil matched methotrexate in lowering activity, and had fewer fatigue symptoms.

Platelet Processing Influences Transfusion Needs in Children

A large paediatric cohort study shows that platelet processing and donor factors influence posttransfusion platelet increments and transfusion burden, without affecting hospital length of stay or mortality.
