There are so many unknowns about long COVID. Why is the range of symptoms so vast? How do pre-existing conditions play a role? Scientists have developed a machine learning tool to accelerate discoveries using actual patient data.
Using machine learning and clinical data from electronic health records, researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York constructed an in silico, or computer-derived, marker for coronary artery disease (CAD) to better measure clinically important characterizations of the disease.
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Research Highlights provides a glimpse into recent basic, translational and clinical cancer research from MD Anderson experts. Current advances include a cell cycle checkpoint inhibitor with potential therapeutic effects in an ovarian cancer subtype, a telementoring program for French-speaking oncology providers in Africa, insights into the relationship between obesity and immunotherapy side effects, updates to the world’s largest cancer drug discovery knowledgebase, improvements to treatment response by blocking the EGFR pathway, and a novel noninvasive diagnostic test for immunotherapy-related kidney injury.
Investigators at Cedars-Sinai conduct more than 2,500 research projects annually, and many of these studies have resulted in new treatments or have opened the door to future innovations.
مدينة روتشستر، ولاية مينيسوتا - استخدم باحثو مايو كلينك الذكاء الاصطناعي لتقييم مخططات كهربية القلب للمرضى في إطار استراتيجية استهدافيّة للكشف عن الرجفان الأذيني، وهو إحدى اضطرابات نظم القلب الشائعة. الرجفان الأذيني هو عدم انتظام ضربات القلب، والذي قد يؤدي إلى جلطات دموية قد تنتقل إلى الدماغ وتسبب سكتة دماغية؛ لكن لا يتم يُشخص بشكل صحيح في معظم الأحيان. في الدراسة اللامركزية الميسرة رقميًا، قام الذكاء الاصطناعي بالتعرف على حالات جديدة من الرجفان الأذيني التي لم يكن ليتم الانتباه لها سريريًا خلال الرعاية الروتينية.
os investigadores de Mayo Clinic utilizaron inteligencia artificial para evaluar electrocardiogramas de pacientes en el marco de una estrategia dirigida para detectar fibrilación auricular, un trastorno frecuente del ritmo cardíaco. La fibrilación auricular es un latido cardíaco irregular que puede provocar coágulos sanguíneos que podrían viajar al cerebro y causar un accidente cerebrovascular, y suele ser difícil de diagnosticar.
Pesquisadores da Mayo Clinic usaram inteligência artificial para avaliar eletrocardiogramas de pacientes em uma estratégia direcionada para examinar a fibrilação atrial, um transtorno de ritmo cardíaco comum. A fibrilação atrial é um batimento cardíaco irregular que pode provocar a formação de coágulos de sangue que podem se mover até o cérebro e causar um AVC, entretanto, ela é altamente subdiagnosticada.
Study from clinic in The Netherlands suggests 98% (704 out of 720) of adolescents with gender dysphoria who initiated gender-affirming hormone treatment as adolescents continued use at follow-up.
Women at risk of pregnancy loss who need a specialist surgical procedure could benefit from a single-stranded suture thread to reduce risk of infection, results from the C-STICH clinical trial found.
An international panel of experts from four renowned diabetes research centers, including UT Southwestern Medical Center, has reviewed current literature and is recommending a pivotal change in treatment of Type 2 diabetes to focus on obesity first and glucose control second.
A potential breakthrough in the early detection of the neck, head and anal cancers linked to human papilloma viruses (HPV) has emerged. It is based on a highly specific diagnostic test that appears to indicate cancer, and predict its course, from just a pinprick of blood.
The first ever global trends for adolescent insufficient physical activity show that urgent action is needed to increase physical activity levels in girls and boys aged 11 to 17 years. The study, published in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health journal and produced by researchers from the World Health Organization (WHO), finds that more than 80% of school-going adolescents globally did not meet current recommendations of at least one hour of physical activity per day – including 85% of girls and 78% of boys.
A new analysis co-led by The Johns Hopkins University identified 25 United States counties that are most likely to experience measles outbreaks in 2019. The analysis combined international air travel volume, non-medical exemptions from childhood vaccinations, population data and reported measles outbreak information.
Bill Kochevar, who was paralyzed below his shoulders in a bicycling accident, is believed to be the first person with quadriplegia in the world to have arm and hand movements restored with the help of two temporarily implanted technologies.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides safe and improved guidance for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention to treat coronary artery disease, according to results from the ILLUMIEN III: OPTIMIZE PCI trial.
New research offers unprecedented insights into the causes of childhood diarrhea, the second-leading cause of death of children worldwide, and suggests that the role of pathogens has been vastly underestimated.
