(a) Subcortical cyst (radiolucent area that may be just below the cortex or in the trabecular bone). (b) Flattening of the articular surfaces (disappearance of the even convexity or concavity of the articular surfaces). (c) Osteophyte (bony outgrowth arising...

by NIH/National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public DomainA research project supported by the National Institutes of Health has developed a tool to rapidly and inexpensively diagnose sarcoidosis, a chronic inflammatory disease marked by the growth of tiny lumps called granulomas in the lungs and other organs in the body. The tool, which uses...
by Ioana Patringenaru, University of California – San Diego Researchers use this chip to analyze the microbes present in whole blood samples. Credit: David Baillot/University of California San DiegoA new analysis method can detect pathogens in blood samples faster and more accurately than blood cultures, which are the current state of the art for infection diagnosis....
Lara Salahi Ashley Winter, MD, remembers the first time she Googled the skin condition lichen sclerosus. Most of the websites listed the autoimmune condition as a rare disease. In the realm of genital health, some conditions remain shrouded in silence and consequently are more likely to go undercounted and underdiagnosed, Winter, a urologist based in...

by Queen Mary, University of London Credit: IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering (2024). DOI: 10.1109/TBME.2024.3364386Researchers have developed a revolutionary biosensor using terahertz (THz) waves that can detect skin cancer with exceptional sensitivity, potentially paving the way for earlier and easier diagnoses. Published in IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, the study presents a significant advancement in early...
Lucy Hicks A new diagnostic tool can effectively discriminate different rheumatologic conditions and could potentially aid in the diagnosis of early inflammatory arthritis. The algorithm — called Genetic Probability tool (G-PROB) — uses genetic information to calculate the probability of certain diseases. “At such an early stage of disease, it’s not always easy to determine...
by SPIE The photoacoustic spectral response (PASR) sensing instrument is based on low-cost laser diodes. Credit: Journal of Biomedical Optics (2024). DOI: 10.1117/1.JBO.29.1.017002In the realm of biomedical sciences, the quest for accurate and efficient diagnostic tools is ever-evolving. One such promising innovation making waves is the photoacoustic (PA) technique. In the past decade, PA imaging has...
