In findings that may eventually change the way breast cancer is evaluated and treated, a new study reports that the BluePrint genomic test provides more accurate information about the molecular subtype of a specific breast cancer, compared to the use of conventional IHC-FISH pathology tests.

In the world of cancer screening, there may be a bias of accessibility that is skewed toward more screening when doctors are paid more by Medicaid, according to a study conducted by the division of health services and social policy research at RTI International in Washington, D.C.

Radiant Sage LLC, a provider of on-demand clinical trial imaging infrastructure solutions, today announced that it has been named to CIOReview's list of 100 Most Promising Technology Companies.

Chronic pain is associated with a reduction in reward seeking, but not just because people are hurting and do not feel up to the task. New Stanford brain research is providing a more comprehensive picture of how molecular changes in the brain dictate loss of motivation in painful settings.

It is easy to create generics from conventional drugs, but not so for biologics, which involve active biological ingredients such as proteins that can be leveraged to treat cancer and a range of other diseases. Biosimilars, which mimic biologics as closely as possible, could be the next big thing in the U.S., but a hot debate has been pitched over what to name these drugs.

A treatment for stroke involving optogenetics fires up neurons in the motor cortex by way of a beam of light. This treatment has been shown in preclinical research to improve movement and coordination after a stroke, say researchers at Stanford University in Stanford, Calif.

Plato's Cave, short for computer augmented virtual environment, is a 5D imaging masterpiece engineered by researchers at the Methodist Hospital in Houston that combines PET, MR and CT imaging on multiple screens, including a touch-screen table top, and the ability to use voice commands and game controllers to manipulate and fly-through medical images for better treatment planning.

It may seem like an unlikely connection, but an aversion to kitty litter has led to a very interesting discovery about post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that could one day lead to a diagnostic test and perhaps even a drug therapy,
