An artificial intelligence (AI) model is being trained on a set of NHS data for 57 million people in England, from which personal information has been stripped away, in a world-first pilot project run by researchers at UCL and King’s College London. Foresight model has been published on Nature The model could transform patient care,
A new chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy called AIC100, which targets the ICAM-1 protein, demonstrated encouraging responses and an acceptable safety profile in patients with two types of advanced thyroid cancer, according to researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Results from the first-in-human Phase I trial were presented today at the American Association
New research shows that even small amounts of high-intensity physical activity can significantly benefit brain health and reduce dementia risk. The study highlights how endurance training and fitness influence inflammation, blood flow, and brain plasticity—key factors in cognitive decline. Notably, short bouts of brisk activity, like walking too fast to sing, can lower dementia risk
People who are given a vaccine for shingles have a 23% lower risk of cardiovascular events, including stroke, heart failure, and coronary heart disease, according to a study of more than a million people published in the European Heart Journal. The protective effect of the vaccine lasts for up to eight years and is particularly
Around Three-Fourths of Losses Suffered Were in The Middle East, South Asia, East Asia, and the Pacific Daily exposure to certain chemicals used to make plastic household items could be linked to the more than 356,000 global deaths from heart disease that occurred in 2018 alone, a new analysis of population surveys shows. Although the
People with a certain heart valve abnormality are at increased risk of severe heart rhythm disorders, even after successful valve surgery. This is according to a new study from Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital in Sweden published in the European Heart Journal. The condition is more common in women and younger patients with valve
With increasing life expectancy, a key question arises: how can we live longer without losing quality of life? The Global Consensus on Optimal Exercise Recommendations to Enhance Healthy Longevity in Older Adults offers a resounding answer: physical exercise is not a supplement, but a pillar of treatment. Backed by decades of research and the collaboration
