Triple Antibody Therapy Shows Promise for Long-Lasting HIV Control
Beth Israel Lahey Health

In a study of 12 participants, researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) have demonstrated that a cocktail of three broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAb) successfully suppressed virus in people living with HIV. A subset of participants also demonstrated long-term control of the virus months after antibody levels declined to low or undetectable.

Postpartum women filled more benzodiazepine prescriptions during pandemic
University of Georgia

New research from the University of Georgia suggests the COVID-19 pandemic may have had an unexpected side effect for postpartum women: more benzodiazepine prescriptions. The new study found that the pandemic didn’t lead to increases in postpartum depression or anxiety diagnoses. But it did prompt a 15% increase in the number of privately insured new moms filling prescriptions for antianxiety medications like Valium, Xanax, Ativan and Klonopin.

Insuficiência cardíaca relacionada à gravidez é pouco detectada; estetoscópio habilitado para IA ajudou médicos a diagnosticar o dobro de casos
Mayo Clinic

A insuficiência cardíaca durante a gravidez é uma condição perigosa e muitas vezes pouco detectada porque os sintomas comuns – falta de ar, fadiga extrema e dificuldade em respirar enquanto se está deitada – são facilmente confundidos com os desconfortos típicos da gravidez. Uma pesquisa de última hora apresentada no Congresso da Sociedade Europeia de Cardiologia sobre um estudo da Mayo Clinic mostrou que um estetoscópio digital habilitado para inteligência artificial (IA) ajudou os médicos a identificar o dobro de casos de insuficiência cardíaca em comparação ao grupo de controle que recebeu cuidados obstétricos e triagens habituais. Todos os resultados do estudo estão publicados na Nature Medicine.

فشل القلب المرتبط بالحمل غالبًا ما يتم تجاهله أو عدم اكتشافه بشكل كافٍ؛ حيث ساعدت السماعة الطبية المزودة بالذكاء الاصطناعي الأطباء على تشخيص عدد مضاعف من الحالات.
Mayo Clinic

روتشستر، مينيسوتا — يُعتبر فشل القلب أثناء الحمل حالة خطيرة وغالبًا ما لا يتم اكتشافها بشكل كافٍ، لأن الأعراض الشائعة مثل ضيق النفس والتعب الشديد وصعوبة التنفس أثناء الاستلقاء يمكن بسهولة أن يُساء تفسيرها على أنها أعراض طبيعية مرتبطة بالحمل. أظهرت أبحاث حديثة قُدمت في مؤتمر الجمعية الأوروبية لأمراض القلب، استنادًا إلى دراسة من مايو كلينك، أن السماعة الطبية الرقمية المزودة بالذكاء الاصطناعي ساعدت الأطباء في تشخيص ضعف عدد حالات فشل القلب مقارنة بمجموعة الضبط التي تلقت الرعاية والفحوصات التوليدية التقليدية. نُشرت النتائج الكاملة للدراسة في مجلة "نيتشر ميديسن".
