Study shows that breast cancer can be prevented with better contraception choices

Hormonal contraceptives, e.g. the pill, the patch, and the vaginal ring, contain synthetic hormones that prevent pregnancy by either stopping ovulation, changing the cervical mucus to stop sperm from passing through the cervix and finding an egg, or changing the womb's lining to prevent a fertilized egg from being implanted in it.

Toshiba introduces 160-detector row helical scanning at RSNA annual meeting

One of the most common applications of CT exams is routine body imaging of the chest, abdomen and pelvis. During these exams, healthcare facilities look to provide cutting-edge exams for diagnosis, while improving departmental workflow and maintaining patient safety. To improve body CT imaging, Toshiba America Medical Systems, Inc. introduces 160-detector row helical scanning, which is the helical scan mode with the largest number of detector rows available at this year's Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting.

Mucosal delivery of IFNs a good strategy for COVID-19 prophylaxis post-exposure

Researchers from the UK and Germany recently reported a comprehensive characterization of the SARS-CoV-2 response of human nasal epithelial cells, revealing a response dominated by IFN-I/IIIs. Also, recombinant IFN-I/III treatment was found to efficiently block the replication of SARS-CoV-2, which suggests that mucosal delivery of IFNs may be a good strategy for prophylaxis post-exposure.

PPCM can be difficult to detect because its symptoms - swelling in the feet and legs and shortness of breath - mimic many of those of third trimester pregnancy.
