Science and technology, explained simply
Surgeons transplanted a pig’s kidney into a brain-dead man, and it has already worked for over a month. This procedure is a critical step before testing on live patients. The experiment has not yet been completed, and the researchers are going to continue to monitor the kidneys, reports the Associated Press. However, the result is […]
Google’s Med-PaLM 2, an artificial intelligence tool designed to answer health questions, has been undergoing trials at the Mayo Clinic Research Hospital since April, according to The Wall Street Journal. Med-PaLM 2 is a variant of the PaLM 2 language model that underlies Google Bard, but adapted to medical topics. It was announced at the […]
Clinical trials of the first medicines created entirely by artificial intelligence have begun in China. Hong Kong-based biotechnology startup Insilico Medicine has developed INS018_055 for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It is a chronic disease that causes scarring in the lungs. Every year, about 100,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with […]
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 […]
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 […]
American scientists were able to develop a technology that allowed them to revive a pig within an hour of the animal’s death. Specialists from Yale University managed to restore blood circulation and the work of internal organs in the pig within an hour after death was recorded. As part of the experiment, scientists provoked cardiac […]
