Mejora del acceso a la detección de la insuficiencia cardíaca con saliva
American Chemical Society (ACS)

En el calor abrasador del verano, cualquier persona que pase tiempo afuera podría beneficiarse de un tejido refrigerante. Pero ahora, los investigadores han innovado con un revestimiento de microescala a base de tiza que enfría el aire debajo del tejido tratado hasta 13 grados Celsius. Presentarán sus resultados en la ACS Fall 2024.

Expansión con luz del implante cardíaco de un niño
American Chemical Society (ACS)

Los niños que nacen con ciertos defectos cardíacos se someten a un implante de shunt para mejorar el flujo sanguíneo. El shunt debe cambiarse a medida que el cuerpo crece. Los investigadores informan que un nuevo shunt expandible que reacciona a la luz podría reducir el número de cirugías a las que se someten estos niños. Presentarán sus resultados en la ACS Fall 2024.

Expanding a child’s heart implant with light
American Chemical Society (ACS)

Children born with certain heart defects receive a shunt implant to improve blood flow. The shunt must be replaced as their bodies grow. Researchers say a new light-reactive expandable shunt could cut the number of surgeries these children receive. They will present their results at ACS Fall 2024.

Improving access to heart-failure screening with saliva
American Chemical Society (ACS)

Heart failure is especially fatal for people without access to medical facilities. A research team aims to bring heart failure screening from the lab to the home with a biosensor that uses a drop of saliva to screen for biomarkers of the disease. They will present their results at ACS Fall 2024.

Indagar en la mente de la inteligencia artificial para fabricar mejores antibióticos
American Chemical Society (ACS)

La inteligencia artificial (IA) ha explotado en popularidad, pero al igual que un ser humano, es difícil leer la mente de la IA. La IA explicable (XAI), un subconjunto de la tecnología, podría ayudarnos a hacer justamente eso justificando las decisiones de un modelo.

Peering into the mind of artificial intelligence to make better antibiotics
American Chemical Society (ACS)

Artificial intelligence (AI) has exploded in popularity, but it’s hard to know what’s going on inside. Explainable AI (XAI) gives justification for an AI model’s decisions, and now, researchers are using it to make better antibiotics. They will present their results at ACS Fall 2024.

American Society of Anesthesiologists Brings ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2024 to Philadelphia
American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA)

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen may be a simple way to reduce the risk of postoperative delirium. Combining two common blood tests may help doctors identify pregnant women who are at higher risk for life-threatening preeclampsia.

Prematurity Significantly Impacts Mortality in Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
Children's Hospital Los Angeles

Preterm birth accounts for nearly a quarter of mortality in babies with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), according to a new study from Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.The study, led by Kuan-Chi Lai, MD, MPH, found that, at a population level, 24% of mortality in babies with CDH can be attributed to being born premature.

3 Keys to Assessing Cardiac Function in Neonatal Shock
Children's Hospital Los Angeles

Neonatal shock is an acute and potentially life-threatening condition for babies. To treat it, physicians must determine whether systolic or diastolic dysfunction—or both—is causing a lack of oxygen to the baby’s organs.But that’s not always a simple task.

Breaking research on the use of race in prenatal screens, health outcomes of HIV-exposed children could advance healthcare for underserved populations
Association for Diagnostic and Laboratory Medicine (ADLM (formerly AACC))

In a new study, researchers have demonstrated that there is an insufficient basis for incorporating race in prenatal screening for birth defects. In a second, separate study, researchers have found that HIV-exposed uninfected children are at higher risk for health problems compared to uninfected, unexposed children.
