Researchers at the University of East Anglia have developed a new way of identifying patients at risk of an irregular heartbeat, known as atrial fibrillation.

While not life threatening, the condition increases people’s risk of having a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke by up to five times.

A new study, published August 27 in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, reveals four specific factors that can predict which patients will have atrial fibrillation. These include older age, higher diastolic blood pressure and problems with both the coordination and function of the upper left chamber of the heart.

A new study led by researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden has examined how T cells of the immune system are affected by weightlessness. The results, which are published in the journal Science Advances, could explain why astronauts’ T cells become less active and less effective at fighting infection.

The next steps in the exploration of space are human missions to the moon and to Mars. Space is an extremely hostile environment that poses threats to human health. One such threat is changes to the immune system that occur in astronauts while in space and that persist after their return to Earth. This immune deficiency can leave them more vulnerable to infection and lead to the reactivation of latent viruses in the body.

“If astronauts are to be able to undergo safe space missions, we need to understand how their immune systems are affected and try to find ways to counter harmful changes to it,” says study leader Lisa Westerberg, principal researcher at the Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology, Karolinska Institutet. “We’ve now been able to investigate what happens to T cells, which are a key component of the immune system, when exposed to weightless conditions.”

In this video, we’ll dive deep into the cutting-edge research on how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) are helping us to better understand the aging process and unlock the secrets to living forever.

We’ll discuss the latest breakthroughs in AI and AGI and how they are enabling researchers to analyze vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions that were once impossible. We’ll also explore how AI and AGI are being used to develop new treatments and therapies to prevent or reverse aging-related diseases within the Longevity Industry.

This is according to a report by Euronews Next published on Saturday.

A major discovery

Dr Andreas Beyer, the lead researcher, told the news outlet this is a “major discovery.”

A new type of star may eventually collapse and become a magnetar – a highly magnetic neutron star, whose origins have been a cosmic mystery for decades.

For decades, electronics engineers have been trying to develop increasingly advanced devices that can perform complex computations faster and consuming less energy. This has become even more salient after the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning algorithms, which typically have substantial requirements both in terms of data storage and computational load.

A promising approach for running these algorithms is known as analog in-memory computing (AIMC). As suggested by its name, this approach consists of developing electronics that can perform computations and store data on a single chip. To realistically achieve both improvements in speed and energy consumption, this approach should ideally also support on-chip digital operations and communications.

Researchers at IBM Research Europe recently developed a new 64-core mixed-signal in-memory computing chip based on phase-change memory devices that could better support the computations of deep neural networks. Their 64-core chip, presented in a paper in Nature Electronics, has so far attained highly promising results, retaining the accuracy of deep learning algorithms, while reducing computation times and energy consumption.

The bioactivity of most near-infrared II (NIRII) fluorophores are limited, thereby conflicting the achievement of strong fluorescence and high catalytic activities, due to a lack of free electrons in the method.

To overcome this challenge, Huizhen Ma and a research team in translational medicine, neural engineering, physics, and materials at the Tianjin University China developed atomically precise gold clusters with strong near-infrared II fluorescence to show potent enzyme-mimetic activities by using atomic engineering, to form active copper single-atom sites.

These gold-copper clusters (Au₂₁ Cu₁) showed higher antioxidant nature with a 90-fold catalase-like and 3-fold higher superoxide dismutase-like activity compared to gold clusters alone. These clusters can be cleared through the kidney to monitor cisplatin-induced renal injury within a 20–120-minute window to visualize the process in 3D via near-infrared light-sheet microscopy.
