Medical Xpress / Living alone with depression and anxiety raises suicide risk by more than 500%, study of Korean adults suggests
An international team including Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Soongsil University, and Sungkyunkwan University has found that Korean adults living alone with both depression and anxiety face a 558% increased risk ...
Medical Xpress / AI model analyzes brain scans to predict relapse risk in pediatric brain cancer
Artificial intelligence (AI) shows tremendous promise for analyzing vast medical imaging datasets and identifying patterns that may be missed by human observers. AI-assisted interpretation of brain scans may help improve ...
Medical Xpress / Wearable device tracks individual cells in the bloodstream in real time
Researchers at MIT have developed a noninvasive medical monitoring device powerful enough to detect single cells within blood vessels, yet small enough to wear like a wristwatch. One important aspect of this wearable device ...
Phys.org / New approach makes AI adaptable for computer vision in crop breeding
Scientists developed a machine-learning tool that can teach itself, with minimal external guidance, to differentiate between aerial images of flowering and nonflowering grasses—an advance that will greatly increase the ...
Phys.org / Study shows 90% metal pollution drop in Adirondack waters five decades after the clean air act
A study published by researchers at the University at Albany has presented the first documented evidence that Adirondack surface waters have made a near full recovery from metal pollution since the enactment of the Clean ...
Medical Xpress / AI 'digital twin' platform personalizes cancer treatment dosing in research trial
While artificial intelligence (AI) has shown promising potential, much of its use has remained theoretical or retrospective. Turning its potential into real-world health care outcomes, researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School ...
Phys.org / Birds hold remarkable clues to fighting human and animal infections
Australian and Dutch researchers have uncovered a remarkable evolutionary adaptation in birds that could hold vital clues for combating avian flu and respiratory infections in humans, including pneumonia and COVID-19.
Medical Xpress / Gene therapy delivered early can help children with rare neurodegenerative disease retain motor and cognitive functions
If administered early, gene therapy has the potential to change the medical history of children born with metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), a rare and lethal neurodegenerative disease of genetic origin which leads to the ...
Phys.org / Rethinking neutron star mergers: Study explores the effects of magnetic fields on their oscillating frequencies
Neutron star mergers are collisions between neutron stars, the collapsed cores of what were once massive supergiant stars. These mergers are known to generate gravitational waves, energy-carrying waves propagating through ...
Medical Xpress / 3D spatial mapping of tumor cell 'neighborhoods' reveals potential targets for personalized cancer therapy
Researchers in Nikolaus Rajewsky's lab at Max Delbrück Center combined high-resolution, single-cell spatial technologies to map a tumor's cellular neighborhoods in 3D and identify potential targets for personalized cancer ...
Phys.org / Tightening the math behind a key quantum process
An exact expression for a key process needed in many quantum technologies has been derived by a RIKEN mathematical physicist and a collaborator. This could help to guide advances in quantum technologies.
Phys.org / A single gene may control corn snake's skin pattern diversity
In many animals, skin coloration and its patterns play a crucial role in camouflage, communication, or thermoregulation. In the corn snake, some morphs display red, yellow, or pink blotches, and their dorsal spots can merge ...
