Discover the cutting-edge sketch-based object detection tool developed by researchers at the University of Surrey that uses AI to find specific objects and revolutionize cancer detection and wildlife conservation. Presentation at CVPR.

A new technique has been discovered that can differentiate between cancerous and healthy tissue in thin pathological samples. Using femtosecond Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) and machine learning, it can achieve a 95% classification accuracy. This innovative method has the potential to be used in the clinic for swift pathology during surgery without damaging healthy tissue.

This meta-analysis published in the Neurology journal offers evidence of strong correlations between clusters headaches & migraines and the circadian system. Researchers uncovered an association between the genes of the circadian clock, the timing of headaches, and hormones associated with the circadian cycle. Possible treatments based on the circadian rhythm & causing circadian changes may be offered to cluster headache & migraine sufferers in the future.

A new study by Karolinska Institutet researchers suggests that tau protein levels in the bloodstream can be used to detect and treat Alzheimer's Disease early. The research, published in Alzheimer's & Dementia, can help identify those at risk up to 10 years before symptoms appear. Their findings may revolutionize prognosis of Alzheimer's and help provide preventive measures.

Female healthcare workers investing time in intense environments such as orthopedic surgery and radiology are exposed to radiation. Increased exposure increases the risk of breast cancer among them. To reduce the risk, adequate radiation protection is mandatory, physically and legally. A new article by The BMJ discusses the importance of PPE, providing extra protection such as capped sleeves and axillary wings. Technology like the AI-based blood test can help with early detection. For safe working, employers need to invest in protective equipment.
