Hospital AI tool predicts low blood sugar in patients up to 24 hours in advance

Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University investigators developed an AI-based model that can identify hospitalized patients at risk of low blood sugar up to 24 hours before the condition occurs. The long short-term memory (LSTM) model, described in npj Digital Medicine, could help

Researchers develop HIV-prevention guide without the stigma of asking about risk

The most useful thing about a new HIV prevention guide may be a question it never asks: Why do you want to know about pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP? In a pilot study at three clinics, a two-page decision aid helped people choose between a daily pill, long used to prevent HIV,

Could one shot replace weekly GLP-1 drugs? DNA approach shows months-long effects in mice

Scientists at The Wistar Institute have shown that a single injection of a small, circular piece of genetic instruction can produce weight loss and blood glucose control in murine models that lasts up to 10 times as long as incretin-mimicking drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. If sho

Newfound biomarkers may someday help clinicians better detect—and possibly cure—Lyme disea

Lyme disease can be easiest to treat in its earliest stages, but current tests often miss infections during that critical window and cannot tell whether bacteria are still present or were cleared years ago. New research led by Tufts University School of Medicine suggests that a g
