Study Finds High Triglyceride Levels May Be Linked to Obstructive Sleep Apnea

A new study has discovered a link between triglycerides and obstructive sleep apnea ("OSA"). Triglycerides are a type of lipid in the blood that gives energy to an individual’s body. High triglyceride levels raise an individual’s risk of pancreatitis, strokes and heart attack. On the other hand, obstructive sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that causes an individual’s airway to close while they sleep, which prevents the lungs from oxygenating the blood sufficiently. This common sleep disorder has many symptoms, which include choking, gasping, loud snoring, drowsiness, morning headaches, poor school and job performance, hyperactivity in young children and waking…

Patient Attitudes on Colorectal Cancer Screening Shifted During Pandemic

How Medical Research Can Leverage AI Without Risking Personal Data

Artificial intelligence (“AI”) can be used to accelerate research and advance healthcare. It can also play a crucial role in conducting clinical trials and drug research. Using artificial intelligence to pool medical data helps save lives because AI surpasses humans in diagnosing conditions and choosing treatments. However, pooling medical data and centralizing it is unethical, given that it doesn’t align with patient privacy conditions. Centralizing data from millions of individuals also makes it vulnerable to misuse, breaches and hacks. So, how can we yield the same benefits as pooling data without sharing patient data? Sharing data is impossible, mainly because…

Research Finds That Brain Tumors Spread in a Calculated Manner

For the longest time, researchers thought that the process through which cancer spread to other parts of the body, in particular the brain, was random. However, a recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Southern California has found that cancer spread to other parts of the body in a somewhat organized manner. For their study, the researchers carried out an analysis of more than 3,100 brain tumors that originated from cancers in the colon, kidney, breast, lung or skin of more than 900 patients who received treatment at the Keck Medical Center; the patients were treated during 1994–2015.…
