But if excess chemotherapy drugs could be removed from a patient’s bloodstream after they have worked, they […]

Heart failure is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and death, affecting relatively young reproductive-age women, especially among those with the presence of an […]
New York: Researchers have developed a clinical decision support application that monitors heart failure patients’ medical tests, health status and promptly notifies clinicians when their conditions have changed or when they require advanced disease therapies. The researchers found that the app led to significantly improved detection of disease advancements such as an increase in patients’ […]
