Oxford study confirms medium-term impact of COVID-19

11 January 2021 · Listed under COVID-19, Imaging

A study looking at the longer-term impact of COVID-19 has found that a significant proportion of COVID-19 patients discharged from hospital reported symptoms of breathlessness, fatigue and depression and had limited exercise capacity several weeks after leaving hospital. The University of Oxford scientists carrying out the C-MORE study found that at two to three month … Read more

Hidden lung damage from COVID-19 revealed in new study

1 December 2020 · Listed under Clinical Informatics and Big Data, COVID-19, Imaging

Early findings from a study into longer-term damage in patients recovering from COVID-19 suggest that cutting-edge scanning techniques may detect previously unseen lung damage. The research by the universities of Oxford and Sheffield is the first in Europe to use hyperpolarised Xenon gas with MRI scanning to identify the impact on lung function as patients … Read more

Oxford study reveals medium-term impact of COVID-19

19 October 2020 · Listed under COVID-19, Imaging

Initial findings from a study looking at the longer-term impact of COVID-19 have shown that a large proportion of COVID-19 patients discharged from hospital were still experiencing symptoms of breathlessness, fatigue, anxiety and depression two to three months after contracting the virus. The University of Oxford scientists carrying out the C-MORE study have also detected … Read more

Eight BRC projects get RCF funding

Eight Oxford BRC proposals, many covering a number of themes, have been awarded NIHR Research Capability Funding (RCF) funding to take forward key areas of research. The selected projects that will be supported include: Developing a research centre devoted to urgent and acute care The creation of a state-of-the-art imaging centre; and of a new … Read more

New national study into the long-term health impacts of COVID-19

8 July 2020 · Listed under COVID-19, Imaging, Other News, Respiratory

A major UK research study – PHOSP-COVID, will investigate the long-term health impacts of COVID-19 on hospitalised patients. The new study has been awarded £8.4 million jointly by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). The PHOSP-COVID study is one of a number of COVID-19 studies that have been … Read more

BRC funds new COVID-19 research projects

6 April 2020 · Listed under COVID-19, Imaging, Multimorbidity and Long-Term Conditions, Respiratory, Technology and Digital Health

The NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) has allocated funding to three COVID-19 research projects in an attempt to improve treatment, understand how the virus interacts with chronic diseases, and the longer-term effects of infection on organs. The funding, originally earmarked for BRC cross-theme cluster projects, has been diverted to research projects in the BRC’s … Read more

New approach to reducing damage after a heart attack

16 July 2019 · Listed under Cardiovascular, Imaging, Other News

During the emergency procedure used to reopen the blocked artery that has caused a heart attack, smaller ‘micro’ blood vessels can remain constricted, causing significant damage, according to a new study. The research by Associate Professor Neil Herring of the University of Oxford’s Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics established a key cause of this … Read more

Oxford researchers spot tell-tale signs of potentially fatal cardiac condition

21 May 2019 · Listed under Cardiovascular, Imaging

Researchers in Oxford have employed a technique more commonly used in brain imaging to identify the tell-tale signs of the potentially fatal heart condition hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the leading cause of sudden cardiac death in young people. This Oxford BRC-supported study is the first time these microscopic heart muscle abnormalities have been spotted in living patients. … Read more

Study shows new technology can predict fatal heart attacks

28 August 2018 · Listed under Cardiovascular, Imaging

Researchers at the University of Oxford, supported by the NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre (BRC), have developed a new technology based on analysis of computed tomography (CT) coronary angiograms that can identify patients at risk of deadly heart attacks years before they occur. Heart attacks are usually caused by inflamed plaques in the coronary artery … Read more

Lifestyle factors linked to brain health of young adults

23 August 2018 · Listed under Cardiovascular, Imaging

Researchers at Oxford’s John Radcliffe Hospital have used advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to investigate whether factors such as blood pressure, fitness, smoking and alcohol intake during young adult life are associated with changes in the blood vessels inside the brain. The University of Oxford researchers, supported by the NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre, collaborated … Read more

Trust opens its doors to showcase innovation and history

14 September 2017 · Listed under Imaging

Oxford University Hospitals threw open its doors to the public on Friday 8 September to show visitors the latest in cutting-edge imaging technology at the John Radcliffe Hospital – and some of the Churchill Hospital’s wartime history. The four tours – two at each hospital – were part of the annual Oxford Open Doors event, … Read more

Oxford researchers develop new scan to predict stroke

24 August 2017 · Listed under Cardiovascular, Imaging, Stroke and Vascular Dementia

Researchers at the University of Oxford, supported by the NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre, have developed a new type of MRI scan to predict the risk of having a stroke. The non-invasive technique, developed with funding from the British Heart Foundation (BHF), is described in a paper published in the journal JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging. It … Read more

Oxford researchers develop new early warning scan for heart attacks

13 July 2017 · Listed under Cardiovascular, Imaging

Researchers at the University of Oxford have developed a new type of imaging test to provide an early warning of coronary artery disease, and the risk of heart attacks. The new imaging technique can be applied as a new feature in routine computed tomography angiography (CTA), and will improve the diagnosis and management of coronary … Read more
