Study finds that MRI is more sensitive than PSA test for detecting prostate cancer

The recent BMJ Oncology study finds that using MRI screenings based on age can effectively identify prostate cancer risks independent of traditional PSA levels. The findings suggest that an MRI-based approach could be a more accurate alternative for prostate cancer screening, particularly for men with PSA levels lower than 3.0 ng/mL.

Patients with heart conditions should practice good hygiene to prevent infective endocarditis

Patients with specific cardiac conditions such as valvular heart disease and congenital abnormalities, or those requiring a pacemaker, should practice good dental and skin hygiene to help prevent rare but potentially deadly infections of the heart's inner lining and valves, according to European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Guidelines on infective endocarditis, published online today in European Heart Journal.
