Tracking Tumor DNA: A New Way to Monitor Cancer Treatment

Cancer treatment is getting a high-tech upgrade. Scientists are now looking at something called circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to see how well treatments are working, especially for a type of cancer known as large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). This isn't just any DNA; it's the DNA that tumors shed into the

Do Hospital Alarms Really Stop Falls?

Hospitals often use alarms to alert staff when patients at risk of falling try to move around. But do these alarms actually work? A recent study put them to the test. The study was a randomized clinical trial. This means patients were randomly assigned to either have an alarm or not. The goal was t
