For the first time in Spain, robotics has been used in heart surgery on children and teenagers. On Monday, doctors from two different hospitals in Barcelona operated using this state-of-the-art technique on two adolescents who suffer from congenital heart disease. Up until now, this type of procedure on young patients involved open-heart surgery, which means the surgeon has to make an incision in the subject's chest. Could tailored AI robots help alleviate the loneliness epidemic?Robotic heart surgery on the other hand is less invasive, reducing post-operational recovery time and aesthetic imp...

Too much exposure to bright outdoor lights at night may increase a person's stroke risk, new research suggests. The study involved more than 28,000 people living in a large city in China. Researchers found that people exposed to the highest levels of artificial outdoor light at night had a 43 per cent increased risk of developing cerebrovascular disease, as compared to those with the lowest levels of exposure. Cerebrovascular disease includes stroke and other conditions affecting blood flow to the brain. Previous studies have linked increased exposure to bright, artificial light to the develop...

How do microplastics and the even smaller nanoplastics impact the heart? That's the question asked by a small Italian study that found that these tiny plastic particles, mostly invisible nanoparticles, were in the artery plaque of study participants. The researchers analysed 257 people who had surgery to clear blocked blood vessels, looking at the fatty buildup in their carotid arteries which supply blood to the brain, face, and neck. Microplastics ingested by humans can be found in every organ including the brain, new study findsUsing two methods, they found evidence of nanoplastics in the pl...

Scientists are growing heart cells in the laboratory to develop an AI tool that can detect disease in heart cells more quickly. The team at the University of East London is looking at how cells in the heart become defective during ageing. "One of the hardest things with the heart is its low regenerative capacity. So the heart has a turnover of heart cells, at a very low rate of 1 per cent, and by the time we reach 80 years of age that significantly decreases by almost half," said Prashant Jay Ruchaya, a cardiovascular scientist at the University of East London. Scientists say these 8 healthy h...
