WashU Medicine and BJC already are using AI to predict excessive blood loss during surgery so blood products can be deployed efficiently to the operating room, which helps to reduce waste. Image Credit: Matt Miller/WashU Medicine Washington University School of Medicine and BJC Health System, both located in St. Louis, have launched the joint Center [...]
An AI-based diagnostic system reveals cancerous tissue that may not otherwise be visible during brain tumour surgery, enabling neurosurgeons to remove the tissue while the patient is still under anaesthesia – or treat it afterwards with targeted therapies. A new study has demonstrated that using an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered diagnostic tool helps neurosurgeons identify invisible [...]
New research has shown that PET/CT image analysis using artificial intelligence (AI) can predict the occurrence of interstitial lung disease, known as a serious side effect of immunotherapy in lung cancer. Immunotherapy has dramatically improved the treatment outcomes of primary lung cancer; however, it sometimes causes a serious side effect called interstitial lung disease. Interstitial [...]
In a new editorial, researchers from the Mayo Clinic emphasize the need to address potential biases in Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools used for cancer detection to ensure fair and equitable healthcare. The authors discuss the risks of biased AI systems, which can lead to disparities in diagnosis and treatment outcomes across diverse patient groups in [...]
Researchers are releasing the flagship dataset from an ambitious study of biomarkers and environmental factors that might influence the development of type 2 diabetes. Because the study participants include people with no diabetes and others with various stages of the condition, the early findings hint at a tapestry of information distinct from previous research. For [...]
Investigators have developed an AI-based tool to sift through electronic health records to help clinicians identify cases of Long Covid, an often mysterious condition that can encompass a litany of enduring symptoms, including fatigue, chronic cough, and brain fog after infection from SARS-CoV-2. The results could identify more people who should be receiving care for [...]
Artificial intelligence (AI) can provide same-day assessments of antimicrobial resistance for patients in intensive care – critical to preventing life-threatening sepsis. Antimicrobial resistance, the process of microorganisms developing defences against treatment, poses a huge challenge to healthcare around the world. It is estimated to cause 1.2 million deaths globally and cost the NHS at least [...]
By Vladimir Murovec, head of life sciences regulatory, Osborne Clarke in Brussels The European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the Heads of Medicines Agencies recently unveiled guiding principles on leveraging large language models (LLMs) within regulatory science and pharmaceutical oversight. These new guidelines, while directed at regulatory authorities, bear implications for pharmaceutical firms and enterprises using or supplying [...]
Climate change-related extreme weather, such as massive flooding and prolonged drought, can lead to dangerous outbreaks of diarrheal diseases particularly in less developed countries - where diarrheal diseases is the third leading cause of death among young children. Now AI is being harnessed to help health systems prepare for, and better deal with, such outbreaks. [...]
By Andrey Doronichev, CEO of AI-focused drug discovery infrastructure company Optic. The global drug development landscape is bustling, with over 20,000 biotechs competing for investor attention. Now more than ever, having a decisive edge is crucial to bring the right molecule from target to lead candidate to approved drug. Fast. Generative AI could be the [...]
