Phys.org / Mapping cotton bacterial blight resistance
Spoorti Gandhadmath carefully placed 3.5-inch (8.9-centimeter) pots on a shelf in a growth chamber. Within seven days of sowing, newly sprouted leaves had fully emerged from each of the carefully selected seeds, representing ...
Medical Xpress / Chatbot-provided information about alcohol consumption and breast cancer risk is inconsistent, new study finds
Artificial intelligence (AI) is loosely defined as a narrow form of data-driven intelligence exhibited by machines. Generative AI (GenAI) creates new content based on learned patterns and supports online chatbots such as ...
Medical Xpress / Study links real-time prescription monitoring to drop in high risk medication prescribing
Research shows that patients who see multiple doctors for high-risk medicines face increased risks of dependence, overdose and death, as well as reduced continuity of care.
Medical Xpress / Cardiac rehab saves lives post heart attack, yet more than 80% of patients don't access it
New research has found that every year almost 400,000 Australians fail to access cardiac rehabilitation programs following conditions like a heart attack, despite strong evidence that doing so significantly reduces the risk ...
