Neuroscience Research Australia and the University of New South Wales, Australia, research has examined the sociodemographic, psychosocial, cognitive and life event predictors of well-being. The study, published in Scientific Reports is titled “Predicting well-being over one year using sociodemographic factors, personality, health behaviors, cognition, and life events.” The team found a slight well-being advantage to being a conscientiousness extravert with a good workout routine.

Artificial intelligence (AI) can analyze breast mass images from low-cost portable ultrasound machines and accurately identify cancer, according to a study published in Radiology. This could prove useful for triage in low-resource settings.

Researchers at Lund University have shown that diabetes can be divided into five subgroups, and that there are genetic differences between the four subgroups relating to type 2 diabetes. A research collaboration between Sweden and India now highlights similarities and differences between patient groups in India and Europe. The knowledge can be used to improve the treatment of the disease in India, where type 2 diabetes represents a growing disease burden.

A group from Nagoya University has identified the optimal dimensions of glass filters for circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), demonstrating that they could detect cells from lung cancer patients. Using a unique method, the group visualized the cells on glass filters and captured them. Their findings will enable more efficient culture of tumor cells to identify patients with cancer. The study was published in the journal Scientific Reports.
