| Artificial intelligence helps physicians better assess the effectiveness of bladder cancer treatment Posted: 22 Apr 2022 06:43 AM PDT In a small but multi-institutional study, an artificial intelligence-based system improved providers' assessments of whether patients with bladder cancer had complete response to chemotherapy before a radical cystectomy (bladder removal surgery). |
| Differences in children's behavior predict midlife health behaviors, study finds Posted: 21 Apr 2022 03:12 PM PDT A recent study in Finland investigated the paths from childhood socioemotional behavior to midlife health behavior decades later. Socioemotional behaviour at age 8 predicted health behaviour both directly and indirectly through education. |
| This algorithm has opinions about your face Posted: 21 Apr 2022 03:12 PM PDT Researchers have now taught an AI algorithm to model first impressions and accurately predict how people will be perceived based on a photograph of their face. |
| COVID-19 can directly infect and damage human kidney cells Posted: 21 Apr 2022 03:12 PM PDT Researchers showed that SARS-CoV-2 can infect kidney cells via multiple binding sites and hijack the cell's machinery to replicate, causing injury and COVID-19-associated kidney disease. |
| Machine-learning model can distinguish antibody targets Posted: 21 Apr 2022 12:41 PM PDT A new study shows that it is possible to use the genetic sequences of a person's antibodies to predict what pathogens those antibodies will target. The new approach successfully differentiates between antibodies against influenza and those attacking SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. |
| Can a messenger substance considered to be inflammatory alleviate asthma symptoms? Posted: 21 Apr 2022 11:16 AM PDT The messenger substance interleukin-3 produced by the body was previously considered to be pro-inflammatory in bronchial asthma. Researchers have now shown that the administration of interleukin-3, or IL-3 for short, can have a positive effect on chronic inflammatory respiratory disease. |
| Posted: 21 Apr 2022 11:16 AM PDT A study has found that living in a tree-filled environment is associated with better early childhood development than living in an environment where vegetation takes the form of grass cover. The analysis also found that both varieties of green space are associated with better child development outcomes than areas dominated by paved surfaces. |
| Fungal meningitis spreads by blocking and bursting blood vessels Posted: 21 Apr 2022 11:15 AM PDT New research has revealed how fungus blocks and bursts blood vessels in the brain, helping scientists better understand how meningitis starts. |
| Posted: 21 Apr 2022 10:09 AM PDT Researchers have developed the hybrid alphavirus-SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus system that can robustly express reporter genes in cells within hours to rapidly measure neutralizing antibodies. Ha-CoV-2 pseudovirus was utilized against the COVID-19 virus and its variants including Alpha, Delta, and Omicron, as well as the currently emerging omicron BA.2 variant. |
