AI imaging bias reduces diagnostic accuracy
Systematically biased artificial intelligence (AI) imaging models lower diagnostic accuracy by over 11 percentage points, according to research published December 19 in JAMA. A team led by Sarah Jabbour from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor also found that biased AI model predictions with explanations lowered accuracy by about nine percentage points. However, accuracy improved by over four percentage points when clinicians reviewed a patient clinical vignette with standard AI model predictions and model explanations compared with baseline measures. “Given the unprecedented pace of AI development, it is essential...

Discover radiology's roots at the German Roentgen Museum
I recently visited Lennep, 50 km west of Düsseldorf in Germany, for the symposium of the International Society for the History of Radiology (ISHRAD), which was held at the Deutsches Röntgen Museum (DRM). I had a great time, not the least when we were exploring the cafés, restaurants, and shops in the picturesque old town.Remscheid-Lennep is the birthplace of Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, who discovered x-rays in 1895, and the museum should be visited at least once by anyone at all interested in x-rays and radiology. Over the last couple of decades, the DRM has been transformed by its dynamic director Uwe Busch, PhD, and his ...

When Should We Consider A Rickettsial Disease?
Discussion Rickettsioses are “small, obligate intracellular, gram-negative, aerobic coccobacillary α-proeobacteria” from the genuses Rickettsia, Anaplasma, Coxiella, Ehrlichia, and Orientia genuses. Often they cause limited health problems but can cause severe disease and death. They present with a fever and other non-specific signs and symptoms, usually with a rash and lymphadenopathy. Other problems can include: Cardiac – endocarditis, myocarditis, pericarditis Gastrointestinal – abdominal pain, acute abdomen, cholecystitis, hepatitis, pancreatitis Heme/Lymph – hemophagocytosis, lymph...

The keto diet protects against epileptic seizures. Scientists are uncovering why
The high-fat, low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet is more than just a trendy weight-loss tactic. It has also been known to help control seizures in children with epilepsy, particularly those who don ’t respond to first-line anti-seizure medications.In a new UCLA study published in the journalCell Reports, researchers demonstrate that the changes the diet causes in the human gut microbiome — the trillions of bacteria and other microorganisms that live in the digestive tract — can confer protection against seizures in mice.Understanding how the function of the microbiome is altered by the diet could aid in the development ...
