The significance of such a test lies in its non-invasive nature and the potential to detect brain tumors at an earlier stage, which can be critical for timely treatment and improved patient outcomes.
AI has been employed to predict homelessness in some areas of the US as part of ongoing efforts to provide assistance to individuals at risk.

As such, predictive AI models can help social service agencies and non-profit organizations identify individuals and families at risk of homelessness early in order to intervene and provide assistance before a crisis occurs.

Germany: A recent study published in the International Forum of Allergy & Rhinology has shown the effectiveness of the probiotic treatment with Enterococcus faecalis in reducing the symptoms of allergic rhinitis after four weeks.
The results are in line with similar studies showing the beneficial effects of E. faecalis. Furthermore, the data showed that allergic symptoms were alleviated during the COVID-19 pandemic situation. This is in line with previous studies and might be explained by a reduced confrontation with pollen due to masks, psychological factors, or lockdown situations.
Although allergic rhinitis treatment has been proven to be effective, it is expensive, does not completely resolve symptoms, and is related to side effects. Previous studies have indicated that probiotics may be a new promising treatment for allergic rhinitis. Michael Schaefer, Medical School Berlin, Berlin, Germany, and colleagues aimed to evaluate the effects of a single bacterial strain, Enterococcus faecalis on symptoms of allergic rhinitis. Beneficial effects of E. faecalis have been reported before but not in seasonal allergic rhinitis.

People are being diagnosed with depression earlier than in the past because of a decrease in stigma and better diagnostic guidelines.
Looking for some good holiday reads? We’ve updated our list of best longevity books and added several from top longevity researchers like Dr. Harold Katcher, Dr. Morgan Levine, and Dr. Peter Attia.
Update 11/7/2023: This post has been updated since we originally published it in September 2020 and first updated it in April 2021. Several new best longevity books have been added to both the main list and honorable mentions sections, and the post has been cleaned up, and review ratings made current.
There are a lot of life extension and longevity books published every year.
Dinkinesh, previously thought to be a single asteroid, is revealed by NASA’s Lucy probe to in fact be a binary pair.

Dinkinesh, a main-belt asteroid with an orbital period of 3.2 years, was discovered on 4th November 1999 by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) sky survey at Socorro, New Mexico. Less than two weeks after being observed, astronomers lost track of the object and it went unrecognised for several years. Additional sightings occurred in the mid-2000s, helping to re-establish its position and greatly reduce the uncertainties of its orbit.
The interaction was captured using a specialized piece of kit called a transmission electron microscope.
Bluetti, a leading US solar and storage specialist, has announced the launch of its groundbreaking EP760 battery system, offering a highly customizable energy storage solution for residential settings. This innovative system introduces a modular design that allows users to stack up to four lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery modules, providing a flexible energy storage capacity of 9.9 kWh to 19.8 kWh.
Unlike traditional fixed-capacity battery systems, the EP760 offers adaptability and scalability, enabling homeowners to tailor their energy storage setup to meet their specific needs. By combining the EP760 with two to four B500 battery packs, users can create an energy storage system ranging from 9,920 Wh to a maximum of 19,840 Wh. With the ability to deliver up to 7,600 W of single-phase power in grid or off-grid mode, the EP760 ensures reliable and efficient operation.
Bluetti’s EP760 comes equipped with several advanced features that make it an ideal choice for residential applications. The system’s intelligent peak load shifting feature allows homeowners to take advantage of off-peak electricity pricing by charging the battery system when grid electricity is cheap and discharging it during peak hours, reducing overall energy costs. Additionally, the EP760 can be seamlessly integrated with existing or future solar systems, supporting up to 9,000 W of solar charging.
Early machine-learning systems were inspired by neural networks — now AI might allow neuroscientists to get to grips with the brain’s unique complexities.
HUMANS could get the power to see in the dark after mice were injected with nanoparticles which gave them the ability to see infrared light.
The rodents were given infrared night vision for 10 weeks after the injection, with only minor side effects, in an experiment conducted by Chinese and US scientists.
The team at the University of Science and Technology of China said they could modify a human’s vision to detect a wider spectrum of colours.
