A team of Hong Kong scientists led by Kwok Ka-wai, PhD, have developed the world’s first intraoperative MRI-guided robot for bilateral stereotactic neurosurgery, opening new doors for less invasive, safer and more accurate treatment of conditions like Parkinson’s disease.

Just more than a month after it was revealed that 450,000 women around the age of 70 were not sent invitations to participate in the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) breast screening program, women in London are being forced to delay screening due to ongoing staffing problems.

A host of medical devices—including imaging equipment, pacemakers and electrocardiographs—are included in the list of Chinese products that will be hit with a 25 percent tariff beginning July 6, the U.S. government announced Friday.

Patients who experience an adverse change in employment—such as being laid off—after a heart attack reportedly have a lower quality of life, increased depression and more difficulty affording medications, according to a study published in Circulation on June 12.

The “often overlooked” strategy of stress echocardiography outperformed coronary CT angiography (CTA) in a randomized trial of low to intermediate-risk patients with acute chest pain, resulting in fewer hospitalizations, shorter stays and similar midrange safety outcomes.
