An effort led by researchers in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania has developed a new risk model for cardiovascular disease in CKD patients. The researchers say it is more accurate than current methods of measuring cardiac risk in these individuals.
A paper about the research was published in European Heart Journal.
Today, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced that it will be signing a new research agreement with Proteus Ocean Group, which has been drawing up ambitious plans to build a roomy underwater research facility that can host scientists for long stays while they study the marine environment up close.
The facility, called Proteus, is the brainchild of Fabien Cousteau, the grandson of Jacques Cousteau.
“On PROTEUS™ we will have unbridled access to the ocean 24/7, making possible long-term studies with continuous human observation and experimentation,” Cousteau, founder of Proteus Ocean Group, said in a press release. “With NOAA’s collaboration, the discoveries we can make — in relation to climate refugia, super corals, life-saving drugs, micro environmental data tied to climate events and many others — will be truly groundbreaking. We look forward to sharing those stories with the world.”
Our research found that concussion was associated with increased functional connectivity between the thalamus and the rest of the brain very shortly after injury, when compared to 76 healthy control subjects.
In other words, the thalamus was trying to communicate more as a result of the injury. This was despite routine MRI and CT imaging showing no structural changes in the brain.
While many of us would assume that more connectivity in the brain is a good thing, research looking at more severe head injuries indicates that greater connectivity between brain regions might actually be a sign of the brain trying to compensate and offset damage across the brain.
AUSTIN, Texas — Scientists at the University of Texas at Austin have created an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that can turn people’s brain activity into written text. This technology might help those who can’t physically speak, like stroke patients, communicate again.
Given the rise of chat gpt and its volumes of knowledge bases there is a new chat bot that is aiding mental health care and therapy 😀
When it comes to mental health, the main focus is on the patient and how to provide the best care possible. But with the rising demand for mental health services, it’s increasingly difficult for clinicians to address the individual needs of their patients and meet the growing demand for mental health services. This is where ChAT-GPT, or Conversational Artificial intelligence-based Therapy for Generalized Psychological Treatment, comes in.
Chat-GPT is an AI-based therapy that uses natural language processing (NLP) and conversational AI to help therapists provide more personalized and effective mental health care and therapy. This new technology allows mental health professionals to provide real-time and personalized care to their patients in a way that is tailored to their needs and preferences. In this article, we will discuss the key features of Chat-GPT and how it is helping improve mental health care and therapy.
Chat-GPT is a type of AI-based therapy developed by researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. It is a conversational AI-based therapy designed to help clinicians diagnose mental health issues. Chat-GPT uses natural language processing (NLP) to understand the patient’s conversations and provide personalized care and therapy.
Year 2021 face_with_colon_three This could be made into a smartphone device that could one day treat everything without the need for surgery or other ways that are not as safe.
Researchers are investigating potential uses for the cell reprogramming technology to treat brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease or autoimmune diseases.
In a remote part of the Amazon, anthropologists and neuroscientists are learning about life and health without an “embarrassment of riches.”
When Apple’s M1 chip made its debut in November 2020, it not only shook up the Mac, it shook up the whole computer industry, outperforming chips from giants such as Intel (which Apple ditched) and AMD. Those companies have been doing their best to catch up and lo and behold, AMD now claims its latest laptop chip, the 7840U, is faster than Apple’s M2.
According to AMD, its new Ryzen 7 7840U shows improvement over the M2 that ranges from 5 percent in web browsing to 75 in the Passmark 10 benchmark tool. (We wonder why it doesn’t supply specific numbers or use a more common tool such as Geekbench or Cinebench.) Macworld’s sister site, PCWorld, states that the 7840U is meant to be used in lower-power laptops, which is likely why AMD compares its chip to the M2 that is in the MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro. Apple’s M2 Pro and M2 Max in the 14-and 16-inch MacBook Pro are significantly faster than the M2–and almost certainly faster than the 7840U–but those laptops and chips require much more power.

Researchers from the University of Aberdeen develop an AI algorithm to detect planetary craters with high accuracy, efficiency, and flexibility.
A team of scientists from the University of Aberdeen has developed a new algorithm that could revolutionize planetary studies. The new technology enables scientists to detect planetary craters and accurately map their surfaces using different data types, according to a release.
The team used a new universal crater detection algorithm (CDA) developed using the Segment Anything Model (SAM), an artificial intelligence (AI) model that can automatically identify and cut out any object in any image.
For the first time in human history, doctors will transplant a human bladder from a deceased person to an alive patient using surgery robots.
A team of urologists at Keck Medicine of the University of South California (USC) is conducting a clinical trial that will soon lead to the first-ever bladder transplant operation in humans. The doctors are currently in the process of selecting participants for their trials.
If successful, such operations would provide relief to millions of people around the globe who live with bladder-related disorders.
