Doctors, scientists, and researchers at The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, The Institute of Cancer Research in London have created an artificial intelligence model that can accurately determine whether abnormal tumors detected on a CT scan are cancerous. This can significantly speed up the diagnosis and treatment of patients. The team used computed tomography scans […]
The doctors analyzed data from 140,728 patients. The research team noted that previous studies have established a link between Western eating patterns and mental health problems. Suspecting that at least some of these may be related to frequent consumption of fried foods, the team compared rates of anxiety and depression with reports of eating behaviors. […]
Blood loss is often the leading cause of death from trauma. As a solution, scientists have developed patches that quickly stop the blood by accelerating the clotting process. The first experiments showed that the time of blood loss is reduced by almost 10 times. Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania presented a patch based on […]
In order for immunity to be strong, it is necessary to get basic vitamins together with food. Lack of vitamins occurs for various reasons. For example, this can happen if you do not have a balanced diet and do not eat fruits, vegetables, meat, fish. Another reason is problems with assimilation of vitamins: this happens […]

New coffee research Experts analyzed the data of 4,500 American adults who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and underwent elastometry, a […]
Specialists at Taipei Veterans General Hospital conducted a study in which they compared Apple’s AirPods with several models of hearing aids. A comparative analysis showed that wireless headphones from the ‘apple’ giant can be used as a cheap alternative to expensive hearing aids. Live Listen has been supported by AirPods since 2016. It allows you […]
Researchers at the University of Oslo have proposed a new stroke treatment that involves injecting a protein into the blood that is believed to protect the brain from damage. Early tests in mice have shown that if the treatment is administered within hours of a stroke, it can improve long-term outcomes. ‘It is very important […]
Eating moderate amounts of dairy products, such as milk and cheese, may protect against type 2 diabetes, according to a new study. But red and processed meat increase the risk. A study by Italian researchers found that dairy products – especially low-fat versions and yogurt – help reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. […]
