Geriatric syndromes, which are common health issues faced by older adults, often occur together in a complex web of conditions. Researchers are now taking a closer look at this network of health problems in physically disabled seniors. They want to understand how these issues connect and impact each
In today's healthcare scene, many hospitals are growing rapidly. But sometimes, this growth doesn't go as smoothly as expected. Let's take a look at what happened when a Canadian hospital expanded its radiation oncology department. Before the expansion, everything was fine—doctors and techs were rig
Additive manufacturing (AM) has revolutionized the creation of customized materials with unique properties. It's not just about shapes anymore; now, we can mix different materials in AM to make stuff with even more special features. So far, using machine learning to design these materials has mainly
Over the past years, we've seen a worrying increase in forest fires, deforestation, and local temperature spikes in the Amazon rainforest. This has raised concerns about the collapse of the entire ecosystem. Scientists are working hard to understand how much deforestation and temperature increase co
Rural areas often struggle with diet-related health issues, which is why the U. S. Department of Agriculture wants to help. But what makes some rural communities succeed in keeping their people healthy? Let's look at rural northern New England as an example. Instead of focusing on what they lack, we
Ever wondered how tiny molecules can influence big issues like infertility? Meet microRNAs (miRNAs), which are gaining attention for their role in Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR), a major cause of infertility. Scientists are diving into the world of miRNAs to understand how they affect granulosa ce
The AI industry is moving at lightning speed, and researchers are feeling the heat. They're pulled in all directions, trying to keep up with intense competition and the constant pressure to produce. Tech giants like OpenAI and Google are in a fierce race, announcing new tools and models at a dizzyin
Imagine a world where every night, kids sleep safe from malaria under special insect-killing nets. That's what Uganda wants, but these nets wear out fast, leaving gaps in protection. A recent study in Western Uganda tried something new. They trained local health workers to give out these nets, calle
Health systems today hold great promise in using real-time health data to improve care. This is done through a continuous cycle of data analysis, applying insights, getting feedback, and making changes. However, there's a problem: we lack a well-trained team of professionals who can handle this digi
Ever thought about the power hidden in complex networks? They're not just dots and lines; they carry a wealth of information. But analyzing these networks can be tricky, especially when they come with diverse details about nodes and edges. Existing methods often struggle with this complexity. So, l
