With advances in artificial intelligence and robotics, we may be on the cusp of a revolution in surgical procedures. A recent paper published in Science Robotics discusses how AI-driven robots could soon support surgeons in ways that enhance precision and efficiency, helping to improve patient outcomes. This concept, referred to as “Augmented Dexterity,” allows robots… Read More »
As more people get mammograms every year to screen for breast cancer, an additional benefit may be emerging: heart disease risk detection. With advanced technology and artificial intelligence, some imaging centers now offer screenings for cardiovascular risks based on breast arterial calcification visible in mammogram images. This additional test, offered by some radiology practices, could… Read More »
Researchers have uncovered a surprising connection between pain and viral infections that doesn’t involve inflammation. A recent study shows that a specific immune sensor called STING can trigger pain by activating certain neurons in the body, all without causing inflammation. This discovery could lead to new treatments for viral-related pain, like the pain caused by… Read More »
