Clinical trial identifies potential new treatment for liver disease
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in category: biotech/medical
Researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine have led a study to examine a potential new treatment option for patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)-related fibrosis.
The results, published in the June 24, 2023, online edition of The New England Journal of Medicine, found that a drug that mimics a hormone in the body improved both liver fibrosis, or scarring of the liver, and liver inflammation in patients with NASH.
“Identifying an effective drug for NASH is extremely promising for patients as currently there are no FDA-approved therapies for this condition,” said Rohit Loomba, MD, the study’s first author and chief of the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at UC San Diego School of Medicine. “NASH can adversely impact the quality of life in patients and can progress to cirrhosis. Its complications can lead to death or liver transplantation. Our findings will further the science of this disease and provide a potential new treatment option to those affected by NASH-related fibrosis.”

AI will change software development in massive ways, says MongoDB CTO
Posted by Omuterema Akhahenda in category: robotics/AI
Artificial intelligence, including the most popular form at the moment, generative AI such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, is going to provide tremendous leverage to software developers and make them vastly more productive, according to the chief technologist of MongoDB, the document database maker.
AI, especially the generative sort, is going to “let developers write code at the quality and the speed and the completeness that we’ve always wanted to,” says Mark Porter.

Warfarin use should not disqualify stroke patients from lifesaving clot-removing surgery, says study
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: biotech/medical, health, neuroscience
Most stroke patients taking the anticoagulant warfarin were no more likely than those not on the medication to experience a brain bleed when undergoing a procedure to remove a blood clot, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers report in a new study. The findings, published in JAMA, could help doctors better gauge the risk of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT), potentially expanding the pool of eligible patients for this mainstay stroke treatment.
Warfarin is a type of blood thinner commonly used to prevent stroke because of heart conditions such as atrial fibrillation. Although not very common, patients taking warfarin may still experience a stroke. In clinical practice, it’s very possible that some physicians may withhold an endovascular thrombectomy because patients have been treated with warfarin before their strokes.
Our study could increase the number of patients for whom this lifesaving and function-saving surgery would be appropriate, said study leader Ying Xian, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Professor of Neurology and in the Peter O’Donnell Jr. School of Public Health at UT Southwestern. Dr. Xian is also Section Head of Research, Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases in the Department of Neurology at UTSW.

How Generative AI Can Dupe SaaS Authentication Protocols — And Effective Ways To Prevent Other Key AI Risks in SaaS
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: business, robotics/AI, security
Security and risk teams are already overwhelmed protecting their SaaS estate (which has now become the operating system of business) from common vulnerabilities such as misconfigurations and over permissioned users. This leaves little bandwidth to assess the AI tool threat landscape, unsanctioned AI tools currently in use, and the implications for SaaS security.
With threats emerging outside and inside organizations, CISOs and their teams must understand the most relevant AI tool risks to SaaS systems — and how to mitigate them.

Generative AI: The Next Inflection Point For Digital Transformation
Posted by Jose Ruben Rodriguez Fuentes in categories: business, robotics/AI
Data and analytics have played a key role in all four dimensions of digital transformation—that is, customers, employees, products and operations—by helping businesses understand these functions and by offering actionable insights. These insights have been necessary to enable timely interventions to optimize operations or offer excellent customer experience by continuously innovating products and services.
Likewise, with generative AI becoming more widely available through ChatGPT from OpenAI and BARD from Google, among other products, the power of AI can help break innovation barriers and transform businesses. Generative AI is a subset of AI capable of creating new content in the form of text, code, voice, images, videos and processes in response to user prompts.
AI and analytics solutions powered by generative AI will likely have significant impact on all four dimensions of digital transformation to be innovative and accelerate the journey.
