The authors looked at how vocabulary is impacted in Alzheimer's disease and whether it could be used a predictor of disease onset.
Read More...Predicting sickle cell vaso-occlusion by microscopic imaging and modeling
The authors use blood smears from individuals with sickle cell disease to correlate sickle cell frequency with the occurrence of vaso-occlusive crises.
Read More...Quantifying natural recovery of dopamine deficits induced by chronic stress
Here the authors investigated the natural recovery of stress-induced dopamine-related gene deficits in C. elegans by measuring the expression of cat-2 (dopamine biosynthesis) and sod-2 (oxidative stress) following exposure to starvation or hydrocortisone. They found that the reversibility of sod-2 and the expression of cat-2 were highly dependent on the type and severity of the stressor, suggesting that the body's natural ability to recover from dopamine dysfunction has biological limitations.

Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel condition with symptoms like abdominal pain, fatigue, diarrhea, and malnutrition. Though there's no cure, various treatments help manage it. This study explored the potential impact of Massa Medicata Fermentata (MMF), a fermented Chinese herbal medicine containing Saccharomyces cerevisiae, on Crohn’s disease.
Read More...Knowledge gaps for recommended daily sugar intake and variations in McDonald’s Coca-Cola sugar levels
The authors looked at public knowledge regarding suggested daily limits for sugar intake and then looked at how sugar levels vary in the same drink obtained from different sources and across different days.
Read More...Applying machine learning to breast cancer diagnosis: A high school student’s exploration using R
The authors combine fine needle aspiration biopsy and machine learning algorithms to develop a breast cancer detection method suitable for resource-constrained regions that lack access to mammograms.
Read More...Using advanced machine learning and voice analysis features for Parkinson’s disease progression prediction
The authors looked at the ability to use audio clips to analyze the progression of Parkinson's disease.
Read More...A 1D model of ultrasound waves for diagnosing of hepatomegaly and cirrhosis
The authors created a 1D model to diagnose hepatomegaly and cirrhosis via ultrasound of the liver.
Read More...How artificial intelligence deep learning models can be used to accurately determine lung cancers
The authors looked at the ability of different deep learning models to predict the presence of lung cancer from chest CT scans. They found that a pre-trained CNN model performed better than an autoencoder model.
