UPMC Altoona Gets New Diagnostic Equipment
UPMC Altoona has recently deployed robotic equipment enabling doctors to sample tissue in the outer regions of the lungs to see if it is cancerous, allowing for early lifesaving treatment. The equipment includes a video game-like controller, an endoscopic sheath with telescoping tube containing a camera, a needle, a claw and a brush that are manipulated based on virtual and actual images on screen, according to Darin Kowalski, account manager for Johnson & Johnson’s Auris Health, manufacturer of the Monarch Platform system. Optical pattern recognition software — similar to GPS direction finders in vehicles — allows doctors to navigate through lung passageways to the target, based on a CT scan image that originally depicted nodules, Kowalski said.

Some Beta-Blockers, Antiplatelet Medications May Increase Risk of Heart Attack in Extreme Weather
New research links some beta-blockers and antiplatelet medications with a higher risk of experiencing a heart attack in hot weather. Despite being used to treat cardiovascular conditions and reduce the risk of a heart attack, beta-blockers and antiplatelet medications have been shown to increase the risk of heart attacks in very hot weather, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Cardiovascular Research. This was especially apparent for younger adults, who were more likely to have a heart attack under these conditions, according to the study. “Patients taking these two medications have higher risk,” said Kai Chen, author an assistant professor in the Department of Epidemiology (Environmental Health) at the Yale School of Public Health, in a press release. “During heat

Study Explores a Potential New Therapeutic Approach for Triple Negative Breast Cancer Treatment
Researchers are exploring a potential new therapeutic approach for triple-negative breast cancer treatment. Amir Abdo Alsharabasy, a CÚRAM doctoral candidate working in the laboratory of Professor Abhay Pandit, is working on the design of nitric oxide scavengers to form a new treatment approach for this aggressive form of breast cancer. Triple-negative breast cancer is invasive breast cancer that does not respond to hormonal therapy medicines or the current medicines that target the HER2 protein. Triple-negative breast cancer is usually more aggressive, harder to treat, and more likely to recur than cancers that are hormone receptor-positive or HER2-positive. “Nitric oxide is one of the prominent free radicals produced by the tumor tissue. It, at certain concentrations, plays a significant

How to Spot and Treat Eye Cancer
Dr. Ziad Bashshur, visiting Ophthalmologist specialising in Medical and Surgical Retina at Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai shares how to spot and treat eye cancer. Eye cancers vary and can range from ocular surface tumours that can be malignant or benign to intraocular tumours that develop inside the eye. These abnormal growths can arise from the eye (primary) or spread to the eye from cancers elsewhere in the body. This process is known as metastatic. Eye cancer is not age-related, but different types of cancer are likely to occur at a higher or lower frequency depending on age. In children, the most common eye cancer is called retinoblastoma, an eye cancer that begins in the retina, and it can be caused by an inherited gene mutation that occurs in 1 out of 15,000 live births. In adults,
