A team of scientists has shown that using just three molecular markers will help clinicians classify gliomas – the most common type of malignant brain tumors – more accurately than current methods.
Withholding angiotensin receptor blockers for longer than two days after surgery is associated with a significantly increased risk of postoperative death, according to a study of more than 30,000 patients.
After decades of challenges, scientists have developed an imaging technique that allows them to see the detailed structure of tiny proteins — and it's changing how we think about medicine.
