Researchers from NDORMS in collaboration with international institutions have demonstrated the potential of using environmental measurements and deep learning modeling to predict malaria outbreaks in South Asia. The study offers promising insights into improving early warning systems for one of the world's deadliest diseases.
Prof Matt Costa has just returned from the Philippines, where he launched the new HIPCARE trial with co-lead investigator Prof Irewin Tabu. The first of five Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC) in Asia to take part, eight hospitals in the Philippines will start recruiting patients with fragility fractures of the hip to the study within weeks.
NDORMS alumnus Justin Wormald has been awarded an NIHR Academic Clinical Lectureship and an NIHR Development and Skills Enhancement (DSE) Award, as well as being appointed as Deputy Director of the Surgical Trials Intervention Unit (SITU-NDORMS).
The widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical decision-making tools has led to an update of the TRIPOD guidelines for reporting clinical prediction models. The new TRIPOD+AI guidelines are launched in the BMJ today.
Researchers from NDORMS and the University of Oslo, have successfully replicated findings from recently published international studies on the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines to prevent long COVID and post-acute complications.
Connects-UK, a new pan-European network dedicated to advancing scientific collaborations between researchers in the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK), was officially launched at an event in London yesterday. The network, led by a diaspora of EU researchers working in the UK, seeks to bridge the gap created by Brexit and ensure that collaboration, innovative research, funding, and knowledge exchange continue to thrive in the post-Brexit era.
The immune system in the intestine maintains a careful balance, tolerating our long-term resident (commensal) gut bacteria while defending against invading pathogens. Under certain circumstances, dysregulation of our intestinal immune response to commensal and pathogenic microbes can drive inflammatory disease.
NDORMS researchers have conducted a review of the literature on the use of AI in clinical decision-making. Published in the Lancet the study identifies why AI has not yet been taken up more widely, and provides a framework to better inform future adoption and integration of the technology.
A new study published in Nature Human Behaviour sheds light on the long-term mental health consequences of COVID-19 infection and the growing evidence of the protective effect of vaccination on reducing the risk.
Early findings in the ADOPT study, show that Nanox.AI software improves the detection of spine fractures, an early sign of osteoporosis, outperforming UK National Health Service national average.
NDORMS Professor of Medical Statistics and Director of the Centre for Statistics in Medicine, Gary Collins has been appointed National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) Senior Investigator.
The NIHR Oxford Clinical Research Facility (EMCRF) hosted by NDORMS has expanded its capability to undertake research bronchoscopies. The facility welcomed its first volunteers as part of the Oxford Airways Study to help understand the causes of asthma.
A new understanding of the PD-1 axis (programmed death cell) could help shape ongoing efforts to improve treatments for cancer and autoimmune diseases.
The Medical Research Council\u2019s Infections and Immunity Board (IIB) funds research into infectious human disease and disorders of the human immune system.
ZEISS is partnering with the University of Oxford bringing ground-breaking microscopy imaging equipment, and analysis tools, to advance the study of global health and disease.
Rapid advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have opened the way for the creation of a huge range of new healthcare tools, but to ensure that these tools do not exacerbate preexisting health inequities, researchers urge the use of more representative data in their development.
NDORMS researchers have identified how cells work to resolve frozen shoulder, opening up potential new targets for treatment and reducing the need for surgery.
