For patients with diabetic macular edema (DME), intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injection followed by a dexamethasone (DEX) intravitreal implant demonstrates noninferior efficacy and comparable ...
Phys.org / AI tools may reshape higher education by automating marking and personalizing feedback
The evolution of higher education in the digital era has attracted global attention, and Prof. S. Joe Qin, president and Wai Kee Kau Chair Professor of Data Science at Lingnan University, published a paper titled "AI for ...
Medical Xpress / Protective human antibodies target West Nile and related viruses
West Nile virus (WNV) is transmitted by mosquitoes and is increasingly relevant for Europe and worldwide. It can cause severe brain infection and death, yet there is no specific antiviral treatment or approved human vaccine. ...
Phys.org / Analyzing wildfire behavior can help detect risk zones earlier and support fire‑smart strategies
Fire-smart risk assessment is needed to tackle the scale of wildfire destruction, which is a growing reality across the globe. Hazardous fires are more intense and more frequent, fueled both by climate change and by the no ...
Medical Xpress / Lab-grown neurofibromatosis 1 tumors reveal how benign growths turn malignant
A research team from the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP) has developed a new experimental model based on induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) that makes it possible to reproduce in the laboratory the progression ...
