AI IDs 5 kinds of heart failure to guide risk prediction and treatment

Heart failure affects many millions globally but can be caused by multiple factors, requiring different treatments. Now, researchers have trained multiple machine learning models using a large, population-based dataset to identify five subtypes of hear… Continue reading AI IDs 5 kinds of heart failure to guide risk prediction and treatment

Scientists pinpoint the cause of heart damage in cancer treatments

Cancer treatment is a complex and multifaceted area of medicine, and despite it having led to much greater survival rates, there are still many negative health impacts.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Cardiovascular, University College L… Continue reading Scientists pinpoint the cause of heart damage in cancer treatments

Mutual destruction: Binary stars, black holes, and ripples in space-time

Researchers from University College London and the University of Potsdam, Germany have studied two most massive touching stars in a neighboring galaxy that will eventually turn into black holes and collide, sending ripples through space and time.Contin… Continue reading Mutual destruction: Binary stars, black holes, and ripples in space-time

Targeted brain network disconnection may improve epilepsy surgery outcomes

For medication-resistant epileptics, surgery is often the only way to stop seizures. However, for those with frontal lobe epilepsy, sometimes surgery doesn’t ensure the seizures stop. A new study has uncovered connections in the brain that go some way … Continue reading Targeted brain network disconnection may improve epilepsy surgery outcomes

More evidence that smartwatches can detect and predict heart issues

A new study from researchers at University College London examined 83,000 healthy 50 to 70 year olds who had taken a 15-second ECG “comparable to the kind carried out using smart watches and phone devices.” People whose readings exhibited an extra beat… Continue reading More evidence that smartwatches can detect and predict heart issues

Lit-up tumors give surgeons new precision in cancer surgery

Light-guided cancer surgery has been in development for some time with varying degrees of success, from light therapy to glow-in-the-dark tumors and the development of compounds that can illuminate tumors.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags:… Continue reading Lit-up tumors give surgeons new precision in cancer surgery

Bizarre new form of ice might be “true glassy state” of water

Ice and water might not seem very exciting to most of us, but they’re actually super strange from a scientific standpoint. Researchers have now discovered a brand new type of ice that’s described as being a true “snapshot” of water, and may be found on… Continue reading Bizarre new form of ice might be “true glassy state” of water

Pressure-sensing glove may help reduce stillbirths in developing nations

According to UNICEF, the vast majority of stillbirths occur in poor countries. An experimental new pressure-sensing surgical glove may help reduce those numbers, by allowing clinicians to gauge the orientation of the baby within the womb.Continue Readi… Continue reading Pressure-sensing glove may help reduce stillbirths in developing nations
