Applying an artificial intelligence algorithm to medical records could improve the care and treatment decisions for patients with a form of head and neck cancer, research suggests. The AI engine was able to stage oropharyngeal cancer by extracting information from clinical, radiology, and pathology reports in electronic health records, bypassing…

An electron microscopy-based reconstruction of a cubic millimeter of cortex has been generated by Google’s Connectomics team and Harvard researchers. The 3D map, from a patient with epilepsy, extends through all cortical layers, is the volume of about one-millionth of a whole brain—smaller than a grain of rice. It contains…

Researchers based at the University of East Anglia in the U.K. have confirmed that accounting for biological sex when assessing patients for heart failure improves accuracy of diagnosis. The team behind the work, published in the European Heart Journal Open, fine-tuned a method for diagnosing the condition using magnetic resonance…

Applying three-dimensional AI to biopsies could predict the recurrence of prostate cancer better than traditional histopathology, researchers report. Their TriPath 3D pathology deep-learning platform more accurately reflected the intrinsically diverse nature of human tissue and could help guide clinical decisions, according to the findings reported in the journal Cell. The…

When cancer spreads to the brain, forming secondary tumors known as brain metastases, it typically originates from primary solid tumors such as those found in breast, lung, and colon cancer. This condition is often linked with a grim outlook for patients. One of the challenges of treating metastases that have…

Researchers from the University of California (UC), San Diego, have developed a novel AI platform that can generate individual drug compounds capable of inhibiting multiple molecular targets at once. They used it to synthesize 32 new drug candidates for cancer. The POLYGON platform, short for POLYpharmacology Generative Optimization Network, uses…

Artificial intelligence can filter through electronic health records (EHRs) to identify patients with rare, undiagnosed diseases, research suggests. A machine-learning algorithm was able to spot more than half of individuals who went on to be diagnosed with the inherited disease of common variable immunodeficiencies (CVID). The group of immune disorders…

People who take acid-reducing drugs to treat symptoms of acid reflux, may have a higher risk of migraine and other severe headache. The study, by researchers at the University of Maryland in College Park, was published yesterday in the online issue of Neurology Clinical Practice. Acid-reducing medications include proton pump…

Machine learning and transcriptomics have been combined to create a computational pipeline to systematically predict patient response to cancer drugs, including resistance emergence, at single-cell resolution. The researchers who built the pipeline, PERCEPTION, say this is the first of its kind. It is not yet “clinic ready,” but they hope…

A new class of artificial intelligence (AI) called hypothesis-driven AI, invented recently by Mayo Clinic researchers, offers an innovative way to discover the complex causes of cancer and improve treatment strategies. The team notes that conventional AI is used primarily for classification and recognition, such as facial recognition, or providing…

A retrospective study led by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Whiterabbit.ai showed that an artificial intelligence (AI)-based protocol theoretically reduced the number of false positive results from routine mammograms. The study is published in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence. Acknowledging that many AI-based studies in breast…
