Medical Xpress / Combining AI with optical coherence tomography shows potential for detecting lipid-rich plaques in coronary arteries
Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence-based approach for detecting fatty deposits inside coronary arteries using optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. Because these lipid-rich plaques are strongly ...
Phys.org / Novel nanosheets boost clot clearing while limiting systemic bleeding
Thrombotic disorders—such as ischemic stroke, heart attack, pulmonary embolism, and deep vein thrombosis—are principal contributors to global mortality. However, conventional thrombolytic therapies are often constrained ...
Phys.org / Supercomputer simulations test turbulence theories at record 35 trillion grid points
Using the Frontier supercomputer at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have performed the largest direct numerical simulation (DNS) of turbulence ...
Medical Xpress / Rewards vs. goals: How a brain signal used to study depression tells us about our immediate desires
James Cavanagh has been at the University of New Mexico for 13 years studying cognitive neuroscience and using imaging tools to understand psychiatric and neurological disorders. His most recent publication in Trends in Cognitive ...
Medical Xpress / Study pairs key air pollutants with home addresses to track progression of lost mobility through disability
A University of Michigan study has taken a fine-grained, long-term look at residential-area air pollution and how it relates to deteriorating mobility—and hindered recovery—for older Americans. The paper is published ...
Phys.org / AI model uses molecular energy to predict the most stable atom arrangements
Whether a smartphone battery lasts longer or a new drug can be developed to treat incurable diseases depends on how stably the atoms constituting the material are bonded. The core of molecular design lies in finding how to ...
Medical Xpress / Combination treatment may slow disease progression in advanced sarcoma
An oral combination treatment may prevent the progression of advanced leiomyosarcoma, one of the most common subtypes of soft tissue sarcoma, according to a recent study published in The Lancet Oncology. "These findings support ...
Phys.org / Lahontan Basin cave burials 'neither rare nor uncommon,' says new study
In a study published in American Antiquity, Dr. David Madsen and his colleagues address the proposition that the lower Lahontan drainage basin (LLDB), located in the Intermountain West, is "unique" for the use of caves and ...
Phys.org / Versatile enzyme that quickly, accurately synthesizes RNA can also perform reverse transcription
From vaccines and diagnostics to emerging gene-based therapies, RNA molecules are now central to modern medicine. But as their use continues to grow, so does a fundamental challenge: producing RNA quickly, accurately and ...
Phys.org / Passing got faster and more accurate in top soccer leagues, study finds
The amount and accuracy of passing in the game of soccer—called football across much of the world—has climbed in recent years, according to new research. The average passing volume, pass accuracy, and the percentage of ...
Phys.org / Breeding a better cucumber: New genetic map reveals 171,892 structural variants
Cucumber is an economically important crop worldwide, ranking as the third most-produced vegetable after tomatoes and onions. Yet breeding improved varieties—plants that are more resilient, produce better-shaped fruit, ...
Medical Xpress / Airborne toxins trigger a unique form of chronic sinus disease in veterans
Researchers at the University of California San Diego and the Veterans Affairs San Diego Healthcare System have identified a distinct biological pattern of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), a chronic respiratory illness frequently ...
