Medical Xpress / AI tools shaping patient care are operating outside regulatory oversight. Researchers say it's time to change that
Every day, across thousands of American hospitals, artificial intelligence quietly shapes decisions that determine patient outcomes. An algorithm flags a patient as high risk for sepsis; a risk score informs whether a woman ...
Medical Xpress / Most Australians with dementia excluded from voluntary assisted dying, study finds
New research from the University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ) has found that most Australians living with dementia are unlikely to qualify for voluntary assisted dying (VAD) under current laws. Lead author Prof. Kerstin ...
Medical Xpress / The number of uninsured Californians could double by 2030
California's ranks of uninsured residents could nearly double in the next four years—to nearly 4.6 million people—because of deep federal cuts to Medicaid and dramatic changes in federal and state policy, according to a new ...
Medical Xpress / IV atorvastatin during myocardial infarction reduces myocardial damage compared to pre-infarction oral loading
Reducing the damage sustained by the heart during a myocardial infarction remains one of the major challenges in cardiology, even when the blocked coronary artery is reopened in a timely manner. Part of the myocardial injury ...
Tech Xplore / Entirely new way of making espresso shakes up the coffee world
Researchers at UNSW Sydney have harnessed the power of ultrasonic sound waves to make espresso-strength coffee with room-temperature water, cutting energy use by up to 75%. That morning coffee kick from a shot of espresso ...
Phys.org / Possible dark matter-deficient twins discovered in the Fornax Cluster
Astronomers have identified a possible new example of one of the universe's strangest galaxy types: galaxies that appear to contain little or no dark matter. The newly studied pair, FCC 224 and FCC 240, on the outskirts of ...
Phys.org / Cosmic acceleration holds up as new analysis rebuts slowdown claim
Our universe's expansion is still accelerating despite recent claims suggesting otherwise, an international team of astrophysicists says.
Phys.org / Could the Milky Way's missing mass be hiding in a swarm of interstellar comets?
3I/ATLAS has caused quite a stir over the last year, inviting astronomers to update what they know about other solar systems as well as our own. However, this third interstellar visitor may have an unexpected impact on our ...
Phys.org / 'Black hole stars'—Webb finds strongest evidence yet
The complex puzzle known as little red dots has become more complete since their initial discovery by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope in 2022. Now a particular little red dot's spectrum is helping connect many of the pieces.
Phys.org / Birth rates are declining in most of the world—here's why it really matters
Birth rates have been declining worldwide since the peak of the post-Second World War baby boom. Birth rates have now reached below replacement in most of the world, including Australia. Put simply, populations on average ...
Phys.org / To discover new physics, AI may need to 'unlearn' the old one
A study in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics explores how a machine-learning strategy known as transfer learning could dramatically reduce the computational cost of searching for new physics beyond the standard ...
Phys.org / Black hole feeding bursts may explain JWST's Little Red Dots in early universe
A new theoretical study may have cracked one of the most puzzling discoveries of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST): Little Red Dots, spotted across the early universe. The paper, posted to the arXiv preprint server on ...
