Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge and 20 other hospitals from across the world and healthcare technology leader NVIDIA have used artificial intelligence (AI) to predict COVID patients’ oxygen needs on a global scale. The research was sparked by the pandemic and set out to build an AI tool to predict how much extra oxygen a COVID-19 […]
Classroom doors swing open for about a million New York City public school students on Monday in the nation’s largest experiment of in-person learning during the coronavirus pandemic. The start of the school year coincides with several milestones in the city’s pandemic recovery that hinge on vaccine mandates. Nearly all of the city’s 300,000 employees […]
A clinical trial of 125 young adults shows that those who limited screen time for 48 hours immediately after suffering a concussion had a significantly shorter duration of symptoms than those who were permitted screen time. These findings, published in JAMA Pediatrics, offer the first clinical evidence that restricting time spent at a computer, television […]
An artificial intelligence (AI) test performed by the bedside in 10 minutes quickly and safely triages patients coming to hospital for COVID-19, a University of Oxford-led study has shown. Results of the CURIAL-Rapide evaluation study show COVID-19 screening results were available 45 minutes after patients arrived in the emergency department—16 minutes, or 26 percent, faster […]
If you’re looking to enhance your fitness routine, you’ve probably browsed Fitbit exercise trackers online. There are several Fitbit models on the market, including the Fitbit Versa, Fitbit Alta, and Fitbit Flex (per Digital Trends). While each of these models is cool, they are also expensive. According to Nerd Wallet, the cheapest Fitbit model runs […]
SC mother pushes back against proposed mask requirements in schools Ashley Regan says she wants to make medical choices for her two children, arguing long-term effects of wearing masks for hours a day are not yet known. Plastic shields propped up in classrooms to reduce COVID-19 spread likely don’t offer much benefit, interrupting airflow and […]
In a paper published by the Journal of Hazardous Materials, researchers from Surrey’s renowned Global Centre for Clean Air Research (GCARE) explore two key questions: how long a mask should be worn; and when should it be discarded, recycled or washed to optimize its usage time. The GCARE team conducted a comprehensive laboratory investigation on […]
No benefit of high-flow therapy (HFT) can be derived from the available study data for patients with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or chronic type 1 respiratory failure. It therefore remains unclear whether this form of treatment has advantages over long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) or non-invasive ventilation (NIV). This is the conclusion of the […]
Each year, hundreds of thousands of people worldwide suffer from peripheral nerve injuries, which often leave them with long-term disabilities. The peripheral nervous system is analogous to the circulatory system; a network of vessels that reaches all parts of the body, but instead of blood flowing through vessels, electrical signals propagate information through thin fibers […]
(HealthDay)—Immediate sequential bilateral cataract surgery (ISBCS) is associated with worse visual outcomes compared with short-interval (one to 14 days between operations) delayed sequential bilateral cataract surgery (DSBCS-14) and long-interval (15 to 90 days) DSBCS (DSBCS-90), according to a study published online June 30 in JAMA Ophthalmology. Julia P. Owen, Ph.D., from the University of Washington […]
