Your Houseplants Have Some Powerful Health Benefits
Every morning, I spring out of bed, eager to check on my housemates: Alvin the monstera albo, Allison the other albo, Dominic the philodendron domesticum variegated, and Connie the Thai constellation monstera. Yes, my vegetal friends all have names—which you understand if you’re a plant person, too. Collecting and caring for houseplants boomed in popularity during the pandemic, especially among younger adults who often don’t have abundant outdoor space. Americans spent $8.5 billion more on gardening-related items in 2020 than in 2019, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Vibrant communities blossomed on s...

A survey of deep learning for MRI brain tumor segmentation methods: Trends, challenges, and future directions
ConclusionThis review's objective is to increase scholars' interest in this difficult field and familiarize them with current advancements in it. To create CAD systems aimed at brain tumor identification using MR images, digital image processing approaches, such as preprocessing, segmentation, and classification, are applied. The classic machine learning and deep learning approaches for brain tumor identification are deliberated in this work. This paper provides a summary of commonly used MR image datasets. For classification, various machine learning and deep learning algorithms have been used. This survey examines curren...

MRI for all: Cheap portable scanners aim to revolutionize medical imaging
.news-article__hero--featured .parallax__element{ object-position: 47% 50%; -o-object-position: 47% 50%; } The patient, a man in his 70s with a shock of silver hair, lies in the neuro intensive care unit (neuro ICU) at Yale New Haven Hospital. Looking at him, you’d never know that a few days earlier a tumor was removed from his pituitary gland. The operation didn’t leave a mark because, as is standard, surgeons reached the tumor through his nose. He chats cheerfully with a pair of research associates who have come to check his progress with a new and potentially revolutionary device they are testing. The cylind...

Your native tongue holds a special place in your brain, even if you speak 10 languages
This study “contributes to our understanding of how our brain learns new things,” says Augusto Buchweitz, a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Connecticut, Storrs, who was not involved in the work. “The earlier you learn something, the more your brain [adapts] and probably uses less resources.” Scientists have largely ignored what’s going on inside the brains of polyglots—people who speak more than five languages—says Ev Fedorenko, a cognitive neuroscientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who led the new study. “There’s oodles of work on individuals whose language systems are...

Reliability of respiratory-gated real-time two-dimensional cine incorporating deep learning reconstruction for the assessment of ventricular function in an adult population
This study aimed to assess the image quality and accuracy of respiratory-gated real-time two-dimensional (2D) cine incorporating deep learning reconstruction (DLR) for the quantification of biventricular volumes and function compared with those of the standard reference, that is, breath-hold 2D balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) cine, in an adult population. Twenty-four patients (15 men, mean age 50.7  ± 16.5 years) underwent cardiac magnetic resonance for clinical indications, and 2D DLR and bSSFP cine were acquired on the short-axis view. The image quality scores were based on three main criteria: blood-t...
