AI rivals the human nose when it comes to naming smells
When Jonathan Deutsch agreed to sniff 400 vials of unlabeled liquid for science, he didn’t know he would be competing with a computer. A research chef who helps with food product development at Drexel University, he simply welcomed the chance to hone his sense of smell. But odor profiles generated by Deutsch and 13 other volunteers served as a test for a computer program that had been trained to produce these same types of descriptions—such as fruity, cooling, fishy, piny—using chemical structure alone. The results, reported today in Science , show that the program, a so-called graph neural network, is ...

This study explored the association between different cooking fuel types and the risk of cancer and all-cause mortality among seniors constructing Cox regression models. Data were obtained by linking waves of 6, 7, and 8 of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey, which included a total of 7,269 participants who were 65 years old and over. Cooking fuels were categorized as either biomass, fossil, or clean fuels. And the effects of switching cooking fuels on death risk were also investigated using Cox regression models. The results indicate that, compared with the users of clean fuels, individuals using bio...

Career Conversations: Q & A With Physiologist Elimelda Moige Ongeri
Credit: Courtesy of Dr. Elimelda Moige Ongeri. A career path in science is rarely clear cut and linear, which Elimelda Moige Ongeri, Ph.D., can attest adds to its excitement. She went from working in animal reproductive biology to studying proteins involved in inflammation and tissue injury. Dr. Ongeri is also currently dean of the Hairston College of Health and Human Sciences and professor of physiology at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NC A&T) in Greensboro. In this interview, she shares details of her career, including a change in research focus to human physiology; her goals for the f...

Anton de Haen (1704-1776) and his extraordinary "portentosum infundibulum" case: the futile skull cauterization of a blind patient with a craniopharyngioma
J Neurosurg. 2023 Apr 28:1-10. doi: 10.3171/2023.3.JNS2381. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAnton de Haen (1704-1776) became one of the most influential physicians in the Habsburg Empire as a reformer of clinical instruction at Vienna Citizen's Hospital (Bürgerspital), where he introduced the bedside teaching method he had learned from Herman Boerhaave in Leyden, Holland. He also promoted the meticulous recording of clinical observations and the use of postmortem studies to identify the cause of death in hospitalized patients. Among the numerous clinicopathological reports compiled in his monumental 18-volume work Rationis ...

This study also provides the potential for de novo generation of complex organs in vivo. T Cells May Play a Role in the Brain Inflammation Characteristic of Neurodegenerative Conditions https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2023/03/t-cells-may-play-a-role-in-the-brain-inflammation-characteristic-of-neurodegenerative-conditions/ Alzheimer's disease, and other forms of neurodegenerative condition, are characterized by chronic inflammation in brain tissue. Unresolved inflammatory signaling is disruptive of tissue structure and function. Here, researchers provide evidence for T cells to become involved in this...

Ready, set, share: Researchers brace for new data-sharing rules
.circle-wrap{ width: 40%; float: right!important; border-radius: 50%; shape-outside:ellipse(); } Physiologist Alejandro Caicedo of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine is preparing a grant proposal to the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH). He is feeling unusually stressed because of a new requirement that takes effect today. Along with his research idea, to study why islet cells in the pancreas stop making insulin in people with diabetes, he will be required to submit a plan for managing the data the project produces and sharing them in public repositories. For his lab, that’s a daunting t...

A study of non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with brain metastasis: A single centre experience
CONCLUSION: The real-world prognosis for NSCLC patients with BMs is poor. By using an algorithm, we have reported outcomes on a comprehensive cohort of patients which helps identify those for whom an active treatment approach is appropriate.PMID:36603538 | DOI:10.1016/j.ctarc.2022.100673

Abstracts of Presentations at the Association of Clinical Scientists 143 < sup > rd < /sup > Meeting Louisville, KY May 11-14,2022
Conclusion: These assays are suitable for routine diagnostic. The UltraFast NextGenPCR is the fastest with average time (30mins), followed by Agilent (2 hrs) and MassArray (6hrs). Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to examine, measure and compare results from different assays for SARS detection, evaluate and diagnose accurately, as well as being able to plan, organize and recommend a diagnostic procedure for diagnostic laboratory. Key words: SARS-CoV-2, RNA extraction, RT-PCR, limit of detection, quantification cycle, COVID-19, in vitro diagnostic tests, Agilent, Massarray, Ultrafast. [20] From t...
