Proton therapy reduces bone marrow toxicity compared with IMRT
Tighter control of how much radiation is focused on a tumor and how much affects adjacent structures appears to result in less bone marrow toxicity among patients treated with proton beam therapy, when compared with conventional intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).

Contrast agent osmolality makes no difference in PCI of renal disease patients
The type of contrast medium used in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) makes no statistically significant difference in outcomes among chronic renal disease patients in terms of nephrotoxicity, according to a study by researchers from Germany. They presented their findings at the recent 2008 American College of Cardiology (ACC) meeting in Chicago.

Tissue Doppler beats standard echo in predicting heart failure
The routine use of tissue Doppler echocardiography as opposed to standard echocardiography can provide more useful information to doctors and patients who may be at risk of heart failure events, according to Danish researchers. They evaluated how the new imaging modality performed as a diagnostic and prognostic strategy compared to standard echo.
