By Nathan Langer/UPMC By coupling machine learning with whole genome sequencing, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and Carnegie Mellon University scientists greatly improved the quick detection of infectious disease outbreaks within a hospital setting over traditional methods for tracking outbreaks.
Most human diseases can be traced to malfunctioning parts of a cell – a tumour is able to grow because a gene wasn’t accurately translated into a particular protein or a metabolic disease arises because mitochondria aren’t firing properly, for example. But to understand what parts of a cell can go wrong in a disease, […]
A new tool developed at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience in Norway and described in an article in Nature Neuroscience [1], predicts gaze direction and eye movement directly from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. The goal is to make eye-tracking diagnostics a standard in brain imaging research and hospital clinics.
WHO puts health at centre of climate change mitigation recommendations
The global healthcare system is a large contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, representing 4.4% of the total worldwide footprint.[1] Supply chains occupy a significant share of this contribution. In the UK, for instance, 62% of the National Health Service’s emissions footprint came from the supply chain in 2019. [2] The purchasing power of healthcare systems […]
The NIH Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative Cell Census Network (BICCN) [1] has unveiled an atlas of cell types and an anatomical neuronal wiring diagramme for the mammalian primary motor cortex, derived from detailed studies of mice, monkeys, and humans. This publicly available resource represents the culmination of an international collaborative effort […]
Scientists pave the way for reducing the harmful side effects antibiotics have on gut bacteria
A Tel Aviv, Israel-based tech company has built a surgical robot that is worth a billion dollars.
Paris, France-based Ganymed Robotics, a start-up developer of advanced software and robotics technologies for orthopaedic surgeons, has secured a €2,5 million grant through the European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator program. The company says it will use the EIC funding to accelerate product development and further strengthen its team, to become global category leader in surgical […]
