Are Muscle-Building Supplements a Good Idea?
Want to put on muscle? Who wouldn’t: It keeps you strong enough to do the things you love now, and it’s a great investment for later, since muscle improves bone mineral density and mobility as you age. People with more muscle mass have better outcomes when they’re sick, and quicker recoveries.
It’s hard not to be tempted by the powders, protein bars, and shakes promising to help. Whey, creatine, and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are among the most popular of these. But what do they actually do, and who (if anyone) should take them?

Can AI help chest DDR achieve clinical adoption?
Chest dynamic digital radiography (DDR) may have received a boost toward clinical use in patients with lung disorders, with researchers developing AI to perform time-consuming analysis involved in the technology, according to researchers in New York City.
A group at Mount Sinai Hospital developed a “pipeline” of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to analyze lung areas in DDR image sequences from patients. The model performed well enough to act as a surrogate to standard pulmonary function tests, they found.
“Our findings add to growing evidence suggesting DDR as a potential [pulmonary function test] surrogate,”...
