Chess grandmasters are often held up as the epitome of thinking far ahead. But can others, with a modest amount of practice, learn to think further ahead? In addressing this question, a team of cognitive scientists has created a computational model that reveals our ability to plan for future events. The work enhances our understanding of the factors that affect […]

Endoscopists’ predictions of polyp histology were more accurate than those of a computer-aided diagnostic tool (CADx) in real-time colonoscopy, but overall accuracy was highest when the endoscopists and CADx agreed, according to a new study. “Our results support the role of CADx as an independent second reader in a clinical setting, which can improve the performance of the endoscopist in achieving […]

Lung cancer: Signs and symptoms to look out for Young Meadhbh, who worked in Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire, first noticed something was up in September of last year when she coughed up a blood clot.

In a recent article published in eLife, researchers highlighted the knowledge gaps in the immunopathology of post-acute sequelae of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection (PASC), or long COVID and acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The aim of the research was to help design studies and direct research efforts in this area, which, in turn, could help develop […]

University of California, Riverside, chemical and environmental engineering scientists have identified two species of bacteria found in soil that break down a class of stubborn "forever chemicals," giving hope for low-cost biological cleanup of industrial pollutants. These bacteria destroy a subgroup of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, that have one or more chlorine atoms within their chemical structure, Yujie […]
