Fujifilm Corporation and the National Center for Psychiatric and Neurological Research have announced positive research results using Fujifilm's new AI technology to predict whether a patient with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) will progress to Alzheimer's disease (AD) within two years.

The US FDA has accelerated the approval of the new drug Pirtobrutinib for the treatment of relapsed or refractory set of cell lymphomas. The drug led to substantial tumour disappearance in 50% of patients, with 13% of them having complete tumour disappearance.

Accelerating and simplifying the development and manufacturing process of cell and gene therapies.

The US FDA has approved a new leukaemia drug, Olutasidenib, which has been shown to be effective and has a controlled safety profile, resulting in the complete disappearance of cancer cells in 35% of patients enrolled, with efficacy lasting up to 25.9 months.

The impact of AlphaFold on protein structure prediction has been transformative.

It is reported that researchers from Georgia Institute of Technology and Piemonte Heart Institute are using customized 3D printed heart valve models based on patients' heart CT scanning to improve the success rate of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) surgery. Their aim is to avoid perivalvular leakage. This research has been published in JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging.

PET/CT and PET/MRI, the world's leading-edge imaging screening devices, have extremely significant advantages in the early screening and diagnosis of a wide range of benign and malignant tumours throughout the body, the nervous system and the cardiovascular system, and can detect tumours as small as millimetres, especially useful for the early detection and treatment of liver cancer, breast cancer and pancreatic cancer.

Approval for new FIC depression drug on the horizon!

Medical engineers at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center are using additive manufacturing to develop customized prosthetic solutions for veterans. In fact, the center is even operating a 3D Medical Application Center (3DAC). There, a team of specialized engineers and 3D printing technicians are developing customized equipment according to the requirements of veterans.

The results of a new study recently showed that Olutasidenib monotherapy in patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukaemia carrying the IDH1 mutation elicited high rates of complete remission with manageable toxicity.
