Cart is empty New research results now published from Lund University’s MASAI trial are even better than the initial findings from last year: AI-supported breast screening detected 29% more cases of cancer compared with traditional screening. More invasive cancers were also clearly detected at an early stage using AI. Now the final part of the research study will focus on breast cancer missed by screening.
SARS-CoV-2 infection associated with increased risk of cardiac events
A new study found severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection was associated with the rapid growth of plaque in the coronary arteries and an increased risk of cardiovascular events. The results were published in Radiology.
What’s it like to use Elon Musk’s brain chip? How does it work?
Elon Musk wants to merge humans with AI. And his goal of achieving “symbiosis” with artificial intelligence starts with a brain chip.
Determining who’s white: How vague racial categories mask health vulnerabilities
Good health care decisions depend on good data—whether you’re making federal health policy or treating a single patient.
Conversational AI aids Alzheimer’s caregivers with real-time assistance
Imagine caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease, facing constant questions, challenges and uncertainty. Now, imagine having a trusted companion, a friendly and knowledgeable assistant, to guide you through each step.
Metastatic cancers: Targeting a protein that fuels treatment-resistant tumors may be key to better outcomes
One of the biggest challenges in cancer treatment is addressing the ability of cancer cells to adapt and become resistant, reducing the effectiveness of therapies over time.
How hungry fat cells could someday starve cancer to death
Liposuction and plastic surgery aren’t often mentioned in the same breath as cancer. But they are the inspiration for a new approach to treating cancer that uses engineered fat cells to deprive tumors of nutrition.
Positive emotions plus deep sleep equals longer-lasting perceptual memories, study shows
Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) have uncovered how perceptual memories linked to positive emotions, such as joy or happiness, are strengthened during sleep. The study, published in Neuron, could help scientists understand the neurological basis for overcoming conditions like drug or sexual addiction.
Yo-yo dieting may significantly increase kidney disease risk in people with type 1 diabetes
Body-weight cycling (also known as yo-yo dieting) has been shown to significantly increase the risk of kidney disease in people with type 1 diabetes, regardless of body mass index (BMI) and other traditional risk factors, according to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
All in the eyes: High-resolution retinal maps aid disease diagnoses
Researchers have conducted one of the largest eye studies in the world to reveal new insights into retinal thickness, highlighting its potential in the early detection of diseases like type 2 diabetes, dementia and multiple sclerosis.
