Uma colonização específica de micróbios no trato reprodutivo é comumente encontrada em mulheres com câncer de ovário de acordo com um novo estudo do Centro de Medicina Individualizada da Mayo Clinic. A descoberta, publicada na revista Scientific Reports, fortalece a evidência de que o componente bacteriano do microbioma (uma comunidade de microrganismos que também consistem em vírus, leveduras e fungos) é um importante indicador para detecção precoce, diagnóstico e prognóstico do câncer de ovário.
Según un nuevo estudio del Centro de Medicina Personalizada en Mayo Clinic, se suele hallar una colonización específica de microbios en el aparato reproductor de las mujeres con cáncer de ovario. Este descubrimiento, publicado en la revista Scientific Reports, refuerza las pruebas de que el componente bacteriano del microbioma (una comunidad de microorganismos que incluye virus, hongos y levaduras) es un indicador importante para la detección temprana, el diagnóstico y el pronóstico del cáncer de ovario.

More than one-third of all people admitted to the hospital, and as many as 80% of all patients in an intensive care unit (ICU), develop delirium, a type of brain dysfunction marked by sudden bouts of confusion, inattention, paranoia, or even agitation and hallucinations. An intensivist at Johns Hopkins Medicine, in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University engineering students, report they have developed artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms that can detect the early warning signs of delirium and can predict — at any time during an ICU stay — a high risk of delirium for a significant number of patients.
