Deep learning is making waves in predicting how long heart procedures take. Researchers focused on using video analysis to figure out the different stages of procedures in a cath lab. They found that certain deep learning models, like InceptionTime and LSTM-FCN, were the best at guessing when a proc
Older adults face unique challenges as they age, including changes in their mental abilities. But what about their mental toughness? How do they stay strong? A big study looked into this by following a large group of older adults over time. The goal was to figure out how their mental strength change

COVID-19 has been a tough opponent for the world. It's not just about vaccines and medicines anymore. Researchers have come up with a new way to fight it. They've created a fancy model called SEI1I2I3QCR. This model is not your average math problem. It uses something called fractional-order delay di
