New Biomarkers to Detect Colorectal Cancer

Machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques and analysis of large datasets have helped University of Birmingham researchers to discover proteins that have strong predictive potential for colorectal cancer.

In a paper published in Frontiers in Oncology, researchers analysed one of the largest UK Biobank dataset of protein profiles from healthy individuals and colorectal cancer patients and highlighted three proteins - TFF3, LCN2, and CEACAM5 - as important markers linked to cell adhesion and inflammation, processes closely associated with cancer development.

New Study Reveals AI's Transformative Impact on ICU Care with Smarter Predictions and Transparent Insights

Intensive care units (ICUs) face mounting pressure to effectively manage resources while delivering optimal patient care. Groundbreaking research published in the INFORMS journal Information Systems Research highlights how a novel artificial intelligence (AI) model is revolutionizing ICU care by not only improving predictions of patient length of stay, but also equipping clinicians with clear, evidence-based insights to guide critical decisions.

Most Advanced Artificial Touch for Brain-Controlled Bionic Hand

For the first time ever, a complex sense of touch for individuals living with spinal cord injuries is a step closer to reality. A new study published in Science, paves the way for complex touch sensation through brain stimulation, whilst using an extracorporeal bionic limb, that is attached to a chair or wheelchair.

New Computer Models Open Door to Far More Targeted Antibiotics

With antibiotic resistance a growing problem, University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers have developed cutting-edge computer models that could give the disease-fighting drugs a laser-like precision to target only specific bacteria in specific parts of the body.

As it stands, antibiotics kill bacteria indiscriminately.

From Text to Structured Information Securely with AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) and above all large language models (LLMs), which also form the basis for ChatGPT, are increasingly in demand in hospitals. However, patient data must always be protected. Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn have now been able to show that local LLMs can help structure radiological findings in a privacy-safe manner, with all data remaining at the hospital. They compared various LLMs on public reports without data protection and on data-protected reports.

AI Innovation Unlocks Non-Surgical Way to Detect Brain Cancer Spread

Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model to detect the spread of metastatic brain cancer using MRI scans, offering insights into patients’ cancer without aggressive surgery.

The proof-of-concept study, co-led by McGill University researchers Dr. Matthew Dankner and Dr. Reza Forghani, alongside an international team of clinicians and scientists, demonstrated the AI model can detect the presence of cancer cells in surrounding brain tissue with 85-per-cent accuracy.

Picking the Right Doctor? AI could Help

Years ago, as she sat in waiting rooms, Maytal Saar-Tsechansky began to wonder how people chose a good doctor when they had no way of knowing a doctor's track record on accurate diagnoses. Talking to other patients, she found they sometimes based choices on a physician’s personality or even the quality of their office furniture.
