AI-based population screening could expedite the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer

An artificial intelligence tool has successfully identified people at the highest risk for pancreatic cancer up to three years before diagnosis using solely the patients' medical records, according to new research led by investigators at Harvard Medical School and the University of Copenhagen, in collaboration with VA Boston Healthcare System, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

4.2 million people in England have undiagnosed hypertension, report shows

The latest UK Government report estimates 4.2 million people in England alone have undiagnosed high blood pressure. This could lead to many thousands of preventable heart attacks and strokes, says a leading testing expert. He’s calling for blood pressure tests to be made a routine part of healthcare.

Researchers discover key immune mechanism that helps control inflammatory response to infection

Monash University researchers have discovered a key mechanism in the body's immune system that helps control the inflammatory response to infection. The discovery could help pave the way for more targeted therapies in a range of inflammatory conditions, such as autoimmunity and neuroinflammatory disease.
