Objective assessment of irregularities in a tumour’s shape provides a means to evaluate its aggressiveness more effectively prior to an operation. This was the key finding made by a team of physicians from Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences in Krems whose research focused on meningiomas, a form of tumour that affects the meningeal tissue in the brain.

Archaea colonise extreme habitats, including the digestive tract of vertebrates. The different strains are specific to the host, researchers with the participation of the ICC Water & Health (KL, TU, MUW) have now shown.

Study involving researchers from Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences in Krems identifies factors which affect postoperative progression of rare brain tumour in adults.

Precision surgical implantation of electrodes for the electric-acoustic stimulation of the inner ear can stabilise the long-term residual hearing of severely hearing-impaired people and significantly improve their speech recognition. These are the findings of a study carried out by Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences in Krems. The research, which has been published in an international journal, involved carrying out 18 complex operations on patients, who received cochlear implants using a procedure that leaves the anatomy of the inner ear virtually unaltered. The cutting-edge treatment enabled some of the patients to retain their residual hearing, allowing for supplementary acoustic stimulation in addition to electrical stimulation.
