A study published in BME Frontiers has unveiled a novel artificial intelligence (AI) model capable of multi-quantifying maxillofacial traits with remarkable precision and demographic parity. The research was conducted by a team of experts including Zhuofan Chen, Xinchun Zhang, Zetao Chen, and their colleagues at the Hospital of Stomatology, Guanghua... Read more

A study investigating the impact of artificial intelligence on health care has shown that using large language models to process thousands of patient records daily across multiple hospitals could lead to substantial resource consumption.... Read more

Can artificial intelligence-powered tools help enrich child development and learning?... Read more

The pulse oximeter, a device that measures the degree to which red blood cells are saturated with oxygen, is one of health care's most fundamental tools.... Read more

To determine the type and severity of a cancer, pathologists typically analyze thin slices of a tumor biopsy under a microscope. But to figure out what genomic changes are driving the tumor's growth—information that can guide how it is treated—scientists must perform genetic sequencing of the RNA isolated from the...

The 2024 Nobel Prizes in physics and chemistry were seen as a sweep for artificial intelligence (AI) tools which, at their conception, were inspired by neuroscience. By imitating the behavior of human brain cells, machine-learning algorithms are accelerating our understanding of basic biology, with technologies such as Google DeepMind's AlphaFold... Read more

When Briony and her husband embarked on their journey to start a family, they didn't think artificial intelligence (AI) would play a role.... Read more

A team led by Dr. Yuri Tolkach at the University of Cologne's Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital Cologne has investigated prostate tumors and developed an advanced, realistic, three-dimensional model of prostate cancer with the help of mathematical modeling.... Read more

A deep learning artificial intelligence model developed at Washington State University can identify pathology, or signs of disease, in images of animal and human tissue much faster, and often more accurately, than people.... Read more

Collecting images of suspicious-looking skin growths and sending them off-site for specialists to analyze is as accurate in identifying skin cancers as having a dermatologist examine them in person, a new study shows.... Read more

The social media platform TikTok has become a cultural phenomenon, influencing the behavior and taste of its users in almost every area of life. From dance trends to skincare and make-up products, health hacks to fad diets, TikTok recommendations can go viral within minutes—and so can its health advice.... Read more

Researchers have developed an AI-powered model that—in 10 seconds—can determine during surgery if any part of a cancerous brain tumor that could be removed remains, a study published in Nature suggests.... Read more

Researchers from Johns Hopkins Medicine and Yale University have collaborated on the development and application of a diagnostic model to detect acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) in patients, which could have a lasting impact on getting patients diagnosed earlier.... Read more

Some patients with advanced heart failure can benefit from the support of a continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (CF-LVAD) to sustain heart function. However, despite improvements in managing complications associated with the use of CF-LVADs, stroke continues to be a major adverse event after the implantation of the device.... Read more

A team of clinicians, scientists, and engineers at Mount Sinai trained a deep learning pose-recognition algorithm on video feeds of infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to accurately track their movements and identify key neurologic metrics.... Read more
