Faster quantum computers can learn from their own mistakes

Quantum computers promise to solve problems that would take even the fastest conventional supercomputers a vast amount of time, but the quantum information they store and process is extremely sensitive to even tiny disturbances from their surroundings. To keep these systems opera

Can AI be your therapist?: Q&A with an expert

More than a third of psychologists report having patients who use artificial intelligence as an additional source of mental health support. As more people turn to AI for advice, companionship and help navigating difficult situations, researchers are working to understand what the

Eliminating cancer cells that survive KRAS inhibition: A potential way to prevent relapse

Our cells rely on tightly regulated signaling pathways to control when they grow, divide and survive. When these regulatory systems are disrupted, cells can acquire the ability to grow uncontrollably and become cancerous. One of the most important cancer-related signaling molecul

New tool helps uncover rare genetic mutations in common diseases, including Parkinson's

Studies of genetics conducted in yeast cells, human neurons, mice or other model systems often reveal networks of genes that could contribute to complex diseases, such as breast cancer, type 2 diabetes and Parkinson's disease. But those findings don't always translate to human bi

Some patient groups are far more vulnerable to near-perfect privacy attacks from medical A

From detecting pneumonia on a chest X-ray to assessing whether a dark spot on the skin is benign or malignant, medical AI systems are playing an increasingly important role in clinical diagnosis. Unfortunately, the models used to train these AI systems are often victims of cybera

Eye-tracking technology helps researchers see IV pump safety through student nurses' eyes

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst are using eye-tracking technology to help understand how nurses interact with intravenous smart pumps, providing a new way to identify design flaws in systems associated with more medication errors than any other route of adm

Urgent call for better access to personalized cancer care

A University of Queensland study has found that patient access to one of the most exciting frontiers in cancer treatment is being stalled because health systems struggle to accurately assess its cost-effectiveness. The study, "Assessing Value for Money in Theranostic Nuclear Medi

Virus influences rare brain lymphomas, large study finds

Primary CNS lymphoma is a rare cancer that arises from malignant white blood cells. Affected individuals develop tumors in the brain and, more rarely, in the spinal cord, the eyes or within the cerebrospinal fluid. These lymphomas can occur in people with weakened immune systems,

Invisible threads: How our environment quietly shapes disease

From the air we breathe to the food we eat, we are constantly exposed to thousands of chemicals—yet how these exposures affect our health has remained surprisingly difficult to understand. A new study led by researchers at the CeMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Au

Interpreters do more than translate, and patient care suffers when systems ignore it

At its heart, health care is a conversation. A patient needs to explain what is wrong. They need to understand their options. They need to make decisions about their own care. Clinicians need clear information, too. They need to understand symptoms, explain risks, discuss treatme

Mutations let JC polyomavirus evade antibodies, offering clues for vaccines and treatments

In people with severely compromised immune systems, JC polyomavirus can trigger an untreatable, often fatal brain disease. An international research team has identified how virus mutations can strategically interfere with how human antibodies recognize the virus, allowing it to e

Infrared skin sensor tracks deeper hydration at home despite temperature swings

Diagnosis and management of atopic dermatitis, a type of eczema, are complicated by skin temperature fluctuations, unclear responses to at-home moisturizers, and measurement systems that don't penetrate the deep layers of skin affected by the disease.
