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,

New therapeutic target for cancer identified by revealing how cancer 'hijacks' blueprint f

Anti-angiogenic therapies targeting VEGF have been widely used in cancer treatment, yet their long-term efficacy remains limited. Tumor vascular endothelial cells (TECs) exhibit high adaptive plasticity, enabling them to resist treatment and sustain tumor growth, but the molecula

Fish-inspired sensor tracks how human heart tissue responds to disease and treatment

Engineers have developed a new way to monitor how tiny lab-grown human heart tissues beat—by effectively "listening" to the ripples they create. The team has created a wireless, noninvasive sensing platform that can biomechanically measure how strongly the miniature heart tissues

Healthy but sedentary individuals show early decline in cellular energy production

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz have found that healthy yet sedentary individuals show a significant, coordinated drop in muscle mitochondrial function that may precede the development of major diseases like cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's. The work is publis
