New AI tool enhances medical imaging with deep learning and text analysis

In a recent study published in Nature Medicine, researchers developed the medical concept retriever (MONET) foundation model, which connects medical pictures to text and evaluates images based on their idea existence, which aids in critical tasks in medical artificial intelligence (AI) development and implementation. Study: Prediction of tumor origin in cancers of unknown primary origin with […]

Bidirectional Mendelian randomization uncovers link between plasma metabolites and heart attack risk

Myocardial infarction, more commonly known as a heart attack, is a leading cause of death worldwide. Biomarkers called plasma metabolites may play a key role in the physiological pathways involved in myocardial infarctions. Recently published research used a methodological approach called bidirectional Mendelian randomization to understand more about these biomarkers and what they can tell […]

AI assistance in radiology shows mixed results for performance

One of the most touted promises of medical artificial intelligence tools is their ability to augment human clinicians’ performance by helping them interpret images such as X-rays and CT scans with greater precision to make more accurate diagnoses. But the benefits of using AI tools on image interpretation appear to vary from clinician to clinician, […]

99mTc-maraciclatide holds potential as a non-invasive test for early-stage endometriosis

The presentation summarized the preliminary findings from patients with known or suspected endometriosis who were imaged with a SPECT-CT camera and subsequently underwent planned laparoscopic surgery, a key-hole surgical procedure to establish the presence, absence and location of endometriotic lesions. The imaging findings were compared to the surgical and histology reports and indicate that 99mTc-maraciclatide […]

Rapid, easy-to-use diagnostic test could save more lives from melioidosis

Globally, more than half of patients die after infection with the neglected tropical disease, melioidosis, often before they are diagnosed. A new rapid test could save lives by diagnosing patients in hours, rather than several days taken by current bacterial culture methods, meaning they receive the correct antibiotics faster. The test uses CRISPR to detect […]

Closing the Cancer Care Gap with the Power of Precision Oncology

According to American Cancer Society, Cancer causes about 1 in every 6 deaths globally, more than AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined. Today, it is the first or second leading cause of death in most countries around the world. Technological advances in genomics have enabled the identification and improved understanding of causal factors and shed light […]

Novel blood test shows promise in detecting early-stage cancers with high accuracy

In a recent article published in the journal BMJ Oncology, researchers developed a novel proteome/liquid biopsy-based diagnostic test to detect less abundant plasma proteins, i.e., biomarkers for various cancers in human organs. Study: Novel proteomics-based plasma test for early detection of multiple cancers in the general population.
