Artificial Intelligence in Nephrology
Kidney diseases develop slowly and may not produce any obvious symptoms for a long time. The body can compensate for them so effectively that the patient remains unaware of the…
Physician’s medical decisions benefit from AI, Stanford Medicine-led research finds
Artificial intelligence-powered chatbots are getting pretty good at diagnosing some diseases, even when they are complex. But how do chatbots do when guiding treatment and care after the diagnosis? For…
The Lancet: AI-supported mammography screening results in fewer aggressive and advanced breast cancers
Artificial intelligence (AI)-supported mammography identifies more cancers during screening and reduces the rate of breast cancer diagnosis by 12% in the years following, finds the first randomised controlled trial of…
AI to predict patient falls based on core density in middle age
Artificial intelligence (AI) applied to abdominal imaging can help predict adults at higher risk of falling as early as middle age, a new Mayo Clinic study shows. The research, published…
The opportunities and risks of AI in mental health research and care
In a Review, Nils Opel and Michael Breakspear discuss how artificial intelligence (AI) can be responsibly and effectively integrated into mental health care, given the unique clinical, ethical, and societal…
Drug toxicity predicted by differences between preclinical models and humans
In the UK, there was a case where TGN1412, an immunotherapy under development, triggered a cytokine storm within hours of administration to humans, leading to multiple organ failure. Another example,…
AI analysis of world’s largest heart attack datasets opens way to new treatment strategies
A landmark international study led by the University of Zurich has shown that artificial intelligence can assess patient risk for the most common type of heart attack more accurately than…
How old are you really? Researchers find a new way to measure biological age
How old are you really? Researchers find a new way to measure biological age Researchers from Edith Cowan University (ECU) have developed an innovative new way to measure biological age,…
New AI tool illuminates “dark side” of the human genome
Proteins sustain life as we know it, serving many important structural and functional roles throughout the body. But these large molecules have cast a long shadow over a smaller subclass…
“AI platform” designs molecular missiles to attack cancer cells
Precision cancer treatment on a larger scale is moving closer after researchers have developed an AI platform that can tailor protein components and arm the patient’s immune cells to fight…
