Machine learning (ML) methods can quickly and accurately diagnose mutations in gliomas – primary brain tumours.
University professor Dr Sascha Klee is Head of the Division of Biostatistics and Data Science and one of the editors of the special issue "Functional Assessments of the Ocular Circulation" of the journal "Frontiers in Medicine". He is an expert not only in the field of biomedical engineering but has also a broad understanding of the diagnostics of special diseases in general and specifically in the field of ophthalmology.
A study in cooperation with Karl Landsteiner University investigated young people's views on those factors that facilitate or hinder the development of friendships with peers at the time of school change. For the first time, a methodology from participatory research was used in which young people were actively involved in the qualitative survey through workshops. The analysis was conducted as part of the research project "D.O.T - The Open Door", which deals with mental health promotion of young people and was established by the Karl Landsteiner University in Krems and Ludwig Boltzmann Gesellschaft.
Each scientific discovery presents a myriad of unanswered questions
After a two-year development and implementation phase, the new website of Karl Landsteiner University www.kl.ac.at/en will go online on June 13, 2023.
Scientists from Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences take leading role in successful phase 3 clinical trial.
Gene alterations in biliary tract cancer offer potential targets for current or future precision therapies. This is demonstrated by a highly acclaimed study conducted by Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences in collaboration with the Medical University of Vienna. In this study, cells from biliary tract cancer were examined for genetic alterations. The results demonstrate the potential of genetic profiling of tumors as a basis for promising and targeted therapies.

Researchers at Karl Landsteiner University developed a new, cost-effective training model for suturing gastric perforations. By bundling various competencies from the organisational units "Division of Biomechanics", “Division of Surgery” at the Tulln site, “Division of Radiotherapy” at the Krems site and the study programme “Human Medicine”, it was possible to design a cost-effective, reproducible, and reusable silicone model meant for the training of medical students. The model was compared and evaluated with real pig stomachs regarding their haptic and mechanical properties as well as their behaviour during suturing.
The situation of people who care for those in need of care at home is influenced by many factors – a team from the University of Vienna and the Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences has now identified which of these have a particular impact on the personally perceived caregiver stress. Five factors were found to have an especially strong influence on the subjective burden of caregiving relatives. Of these, the health status of the caregivers has the greatest impact. The study, which has now been published internationally, provides a basis for targeted relief for caregivers in the home setting for social and health policy measures.
