Aging is more than just physical changes. It's a journey that deeply affects our minds and emotions, which experts call psychological well-being. To measure this, they use a tool called the Scales of Psychological Well-being (SPWB). This tool has 18 parts and was recently tested in German. The study
Blood clots, or thrombus, can be tricky to deal with. Traditional medicines often miss their mark and cause unwanted bleeding. So, scientists cooked up a clever solution using tiny particles called nanoparticles. These aren't your average nanoparticles; they're equipped with a special targeting syst
Glioblastoma is a tough brain tumor to deal with. It spreads quickly and often ignores medicine. Doctors have been looking for new ways to fight it. One promising method uses special light and tiny, smart particles. These particles are made from a type of polymer. They can glow and get hot when hit
Learning to handle feedback is a big part of getting better in breast imaging. It might feel tough at first, but it's super important. Trainees can use different ways to get feedback. They can look at how they do in self-assessments, check real-world patient results, get feedback from procedures, ta

Focal liver lesions (FLLs) are like tiny mysteries hiding in the liver. Doctors often use MRI scans to find and figure out what these mysteries are. Two special agents, gadobenate and gadoxetate, help make these MRI scans clearer. These agents are like superheroes that highlight different parts of t
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or HCM, is a serious condition that can lead to significant health issues and even death. This condition is influenced by both single-gene and multiple-gene factors. Researchers recently conducted a massive study involving thousands of people with HCM, along with a large
Imagine shining lasers deep into the body to create powerful waves. This isn't science fiction; it's a real idea scientists are exploring. For a long time, lasers have been used in medical imaging, but creating strong shear waves deep inside the body has been a challenge. Most research has focused o
Women are living longer, and with that comes a host of aging-related health issues. One often overlooked aspect of this is the role of the ovaries. These small organs are more than just the source of female hormones and ovulation. They act as the body's hormone command center, sending signals that a
