Experts from the departments of Neurology and Neurosurgery, as well as Cedars-Sinai Guerin Children’s, are attending the American Epilepsy Society 2024 Annual Meeting Dec. 6-10 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
The algorithms behind generative AI tools like DallE, when combined with physics-based data, can be used to develop better ways to model the Earth's climate. Computer scientists in Seattle and San Diego have now used this combination to create a model that is capable of predicting climate patterns over 100 years 25 times faster than the state of the art.
The seventh Bloomberg American Health Summit organized by the Bloomberg American Health Initiative will bring together public health leaders, government officials, community organizations, researchers, and students to discuss evidence-based health policies that remain critical to advancing health in a politically divided country. The Summit will take place on December 3 in Washington, D.C.

This year’s Association for Computing Machinery’s Gordon Bell Prize in supercomputing goes to researchers led by the University of Melbourne who used the Frontier supercomputer to conduct a quantum molecular dynamics simulation 1,000 times greater in size and speed than any previous simulation of its kind.The team also includes researchers from AMD, QDX, and the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Hongjun Lin from New York University will present results on the acoustic characteristics of a physical model of the Parasaurolophus’ crest as part of the virtual 187th ASA Meeting. Lin created a physical setup made of tubes to represent a mathematical model that will allow researchers to discover what was happening acoustically inside the crest.
In a session of the 187th ASA Meeting, Michael Stocker of Ocean Conservation Research will present work examining the circumstances surrounding the whale deaths off the coast of New Jersey in the winter of 2022-23, which prompted concern that survey work in the area somehow contributed to their deaths.
Bożena Kostek from Gdańsk University of Technology is exploring how speech-to-text programs can be better used in the medical field. By studying how clear speech affects STT accuracy, she hopes to improve its usefulness for health care professionals. A detailed audio dataset was created with Polish medical terms spoken by doctors and specialists in areas like cardiology and pulmonology. This dataset was analyzed using an Automatic Speech Recognition model for transcription, and several metrics were used to evaluate the quality of the speech recognition.
Recent research by Joseph Vignola at the Catholic University of America is revolutionizing fresco assessment. Vignola and his team have applied laser Doppler vibrometry to locate delamination in the frescos of Constantino Brumidi in the U.S. Capitol building.
Recycled pacemakers can function as well as new devices, a University of Michigan-led study suggests. These used and reconditioned devices have the potential to increase access to pacemaker therapy in low- and middle-income countries, where many patients cannot afford the treatment.
People with Alzheimer’s exhibit a loss of motor control along with cognitive decline, and one of the earliest signs of this decay can be spotted in involuntary eye movements known as saccades. These quick twitches of the eyes in Alzheimer’s patients are often slower, less accurate, or delayed compared to those in healthy individuals.
Roswell Park experts representing various specialties will highlight innovative research and advancements in hematology and hematologic cancers at the 66th annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH), to be held December 7-10 in San Diego, California.
The APS will recognize its new members at its Presidential Plenary at the Pediatric Academic Societies 2025 Meeting in April. Current members nominate new members by recognizing individuals who have distinguished themselves as child health leaders, clinicians, policymakers, researchers, scholars and teachers.
The HPE Cray EX supercomputing system reported new highs for problem-solving speeds this week. The score earned Frontier the No. 2 spot on the November 2024 TOP500 list.
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) is honored to participate in 2024 CCHIO. NCCN has taken numerous strides in recent years to increase the global accessibility and relevance of NCCN Guidelines as a tool for helping people with cancer to live better lives, including multiple collaborations with leading oncology groups in China.
Physicians and investigators from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai will give more than 30 presentations at the American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions Nov. 16-18 in Chicago.
