Medical imaging SINGAPORE, April 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The National University Hospital (NUH) is embarking on a major initiative to establish the National University Centre for Digestive Health, slated for completion in the first half of 2025. With a vision to be the region's leading academic centre for digestive health, the Centre will pioneer research, innovations and clinical practices with an amplified focus to elevate the standards of early disease detection, precise diagnosis, treatment and prevention of digestive illnesses.
Key Points:
- Early gastrointestinal lesions, which are abnormal changes involving the tissues in the stomach area, may be indicative of cancer.
- As such, early detection and diagnosis are crucial for better prognosis and lay a strong foundation for successful treatment and recovery.
- The team is also developing novel biomarkers to improve the precision of early colorectal cancer detection, as well as new pancreas and liver cancer assays.
- As we continue to expand our infrastructure and embrace technological advances, the Centre is poised to redefine digestive health for the future."

Medicine SINGAPORE, Oct. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Singapore's National University Hospital (NUH) and the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at the National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine) are collaborating with Fujita Health University (FHU) in its first robotic telesurgery trial between Singapore and Japan, from 9 to 11 October 2023.
Key Points:
- Leveraging Japan's first surgical robot, clinician-scientists from NUH and NUS Medicine will remotely perform a gastrectomy (stomach surgery performed for cancer) from a surgeon cockpit in Singapore.
- This collaboration follows the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed in August 2023 between NUS Medicine and FHU, one of Japan's leading universities with a strong research focus in robotic surgery and telesurgery.
- In Japan, the surgical team is led by Professor Ichiro Uyama and Professor Koichi Suda from Fujita Health University.
- During public health crises, such as a global pandemic, remote telesurgery helps minimise the risk of disease transmission between patients, healthcare workers, and surgical teams.

Residential care They had initially intended to deliver Yu Xuan in Malaysia and reunite with their first child, a four-year-old residing in Malaysia.
Key Points:
- They had initially intended to deliver Yu Xuan in Malaysia and reunite with their first child, a four-year-old residing in Malaysia.
- Yu Xuan was admitted in the NUH neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and remained there for 13 months, making her the longest staying baby there.
- Based on the Tiniest Babies Registry managed by The University of Iowa ( https://webapps1.healthcare.uiowa.edu/TiniestBabies/index.aspx ), Yu Xuan is possibly the world's lightest baby born and discharged well to home.
- The previous smallest survivor in the world was born 245 grams in the United States as reported by BBC in May 2019 ('World's smallest' surviving premature baby released from US hospital https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-48458780 ).
