FAU scientists develop rapid, reliable method to continuously monitor sickle cell disease

Sickle cell disease is a hereditary disorder that affects red blood cells, distorting their natural disc shape into a crescent moon or "sickle" shape. Normal red blood cells move freely through small vessels throughout the body to deliver oxygen.

UCLA physicians find more effective method for detecting prostate cancer

Each year, 1 million men in the U.S. undergo biopsies to determine whether they have prostate cancer. The biopsy procedure traditionally has been guided by ultrasound imaging, but this method cannot clearly display the location of tumors in the prostate gland.

Smarter, more educated people get a cognitive 'head start', but aren't protected from Alzheimer's

In a search for clues to what may delay or prevent Alzheimer's disease, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report that smarter, more educated people aren't protected from the disease, but do get a cognitive "head start" that may keep their minds functioning better temporarily.

AI technique helps produce high quality CT images at lower dosages

A team of bioengineers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, with funding from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, have developed an artificial intelligence technique that uses image post-processing to rapidly convert low-dose computed tomography scans to images of superior quality, compared to low-dose scans that do not use the AI technique.
