If you’re feeling confused about the government’s latest pandemic restrictions – you are really not alone. Seriously, you would need to be wired in to the news channel 24 hours a day, and even then you might not be able to keep up. From the Nando’s-style spice chart of severity, to categories labelled high, medium […]
Researchers at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have found that a drug that activates the body’s natural defenses by behaving like a virus may also make certain stealthy melanoma tumors visible to the immune system, allowing them to be better targeted by immunotherapy. The findings, published today in the journal Science Translational Medicine, open […]
In a new perspective piece “Transparency and reproducibility in artificial intelligence” published this week in the journal Nature, an international group of scientists including CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy (CUNY SPH) Associate Professor Levi Waldron raised concerns about the lack of transparency in publication of artificial intelligence algorithms for health applications. […]
2020 presidential candidates trade insults on coronavirus pandemic response Fox News medical contributor Dr. Nicole Saphier and owners of Steepologie Teas Andrea Raetzer and Joe Raetzer discuss which candidate delivered the message Americans wanted to hear. Biotech company Moderna announced on Tuesday that its coronavirus vaccine candidate elicited immune responses in older adults from a […]
Researchers have created a mathematical model that can determine the impact of the immune system on tumor evolution. The information gained from using this model may be able to be used to predict whether immunotherapy is likely to be effective for a patient’s cancer, helping to guide treatment decisions. Immune cells recognize tumors by detecting […]
A new study by members of the Cumming School of Medicine (CSM) at the University of Calgary finds niacin, commonly called vitamin B3, combined with chemotherapy can help immune cells attack glioblastoma (a type of brain tumor), dramatically slowing progression of the disease, in mice. The results published in Science Translational Medicine found the lifespan […]
Researchers in Korea have developed a deep learning-based artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that can accurately classify cutaneous skin disorders, predict malignancy, suggest primary treatment options, and serve as an ancillary tool to enhance the diagnostic accuracy of clinicians. With the assistance of this system, the diagnostic accuracy of dermatologists as well as the general public […]
Feeling the love! Jenna Cooper is getting ready to give birth to her first child, and although the Bachelor in Paradise alum is a newbie at motherhood, she’s received plenty of advice from her Instagram followers. “I finally feel like I can be more open, and share exactly what’s going on in my life,” Cooper, […]
The immune system must learn from early in life to tolerate bacteria that normally populate healthy skin, while still defending against more dangerous “bugs,” but how immune cells make this distinction has long been a mystery. In a study of young mice, UC San Francisco scientists found that an early-life window of immune tolerance available […]
Artificial intelligence has made leaps and bounds in medical science, helping doctors perform the most complex surgeries with greater accuracy than ever before. Now, as startling as it may sound, a new algorithm has been developed by researchers of Stanford University which can assess the correct time of demise of patients who are admitted to […]
