New Multimodal AI System Boosts the Accuracy of Lung Cancer Screening

Early diagnosis of lung cancer is pivotal to effective treatment because this disease is very challenging to treat. Advances in AI are transforming the screening for this disease, improving both efficiency and accuracy. Existing screening methods such as low-dose CT have several challenges. These include high rates of false-positives and a high variability when reporting other incidental but critical information, such as findings on cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, the shortage of radiologists around the world means that less than 10% of people who need low-dose CT scans can actually undergo them. New research published in the journal Nature Communications shows that…

He added that he was going to order drug firms to slash their prices within the U.S. There has been a growing concern about the high cost of prescription drugs in America and data exists…

Study Links Higher Consumption of Ultra-Processed Foods to Heightened Psoriasis Risk

A recently conducted study has found a strong link between the intake of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and a higher risk of developing psoriasis. The findings of this research appeared in the Nutrients journal. People suffering from psoriasis have lesions/patches that are itchy, scaly and inflamed. They commonly affect the nails, soles and palms, although the condition can manifest on any part of the body. The condition can also elevate the risk of a number of mental health problems, such as anxiety and depression, in addition to increasing the risk for Crohn’s disease and cardiovascular disease. While there currently isn’t a…

Study Reveals Early Development of Pediatric Brain Tumors in Specialized Nerve Cells

Medulloblastoma is a commonly occurring pediatric brain cancer in kids and adolescents. The cancer develops within the cerebellum, the part of the brain responsible for coordinating movement and other functions. These tumors enlarge quickly, can grow into nearby tissues, and in some cases, can metastasize. The variations in these tumors make it challenging to find appropriate treatments. Now a recent study in Germany has come up with findings which shed light on the exact location where these aggressive tumors normally first develop. The findings appeared in the Nature journal. The study’s first author Konstantin Okonechnikov explains that they genetically characterized…

Eye Exam Could Help in Detecting Parkinson’s Disease Early, Study Suggests

New research suggests that a simple examination of the retina could provide an early diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. Universite Laval researchers conducted this study and their findings appeared in the Neurobiology of Disease journal. According to the researchers, the retinas of individuals having Parkinson’s don’t respond in the same way to light stimulus as those of individuals without the disease. Prof. Martin Levesque, the study leader, explains that currently, people are only diagnosed with Parkinson’s after consulting their doctor regarding tremors and other motor problems. By this time, Levesque adds, the disease has progressed to such an extent that central…

Study: Women with Lung Cancer Have Worse Outcomes Due to Genes Linked to Pregnancy

According to a study conducted recently at Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) Cancer Center, lung cancer co-opts some genes usually involved in helping fetuses to grow. The lung cancer leverages these genes to evade the immune system of the patient. The researchers found that because of this, women in whom these genes were activated tended to have poorer outcomes. This analysis suggests that targeting those genes could have a beneficial effect of improving the clinical outcomes of females diagnosed with lung cancer. The researchers presented their findings at this year’s annual meeting of the American Association of Cancer Research. Jung Hun,…
