Increasing use of blood tests to detect prostate cancer is leading to overworked doctors. NTNU has now created an AI diagnostic tool that can help lighten the burden. Diagnostic tools based on artificial intelligence are now making their way into Norwegian hospitals. AI can independently read X-ray images and detect bone fractures, or assess cancer … Read more
CAPITAL – May 22, 2024 – Astronomers are investigating a mysterious object designated ASKAP J1832-0911, located in the milky Way, approximately 15,000 light-years away. The object is emitting both X-rays and radio flashes every 44 minutes, a behaviour unprecedented in this category, making this space phenomenon highly unusual. Its discovery, and the subsequent analysis of … Read more
In a first-of-its-kind genome-wide association study (GWAS) researchers have discovered two genes, RNF144B and ENPP1, that cause calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) disease in Americans of European and African descent. This crystalline arthritis is caused by calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystal deposition in joints. The findings of this novel study in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, … Read more

New research led by scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) reveals the workings of a human antibody called mAb 3A6, which may prove to be an important component for Ebola virus therapeutics. This antibody was isolated from blood samples from an Ebola survivor treated at Emory University Hospital during the 2014-2016 Ebola virus … Read more
Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have created the world’s brightest X-ray source, which has surpassed the intensity of previous sources by twofold. This breakthrough could advance critical fields like fusion energy research. To achieve this milestone, the researchers combined two powerful tools: the National Ignition Facility (NIF) laser and ultra-light metal foams. The … Read more
The melding of visual information (microscopic and X-ray images, CT and MRI scans, for example) with text (exam notes, communications between physicians of varying specialties) is a key component of cancer care. But while artificial intelligence helps doctors review images and home in on disease-associated anomalies like abnormally shaped cells, it’s been difficult to develop … Read more
