Mount Sinai researchers construct a computer-derived marker for coronary artery disease

Using machine learning and clinical data from electronic health records, researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York constructed an in silico, or computer-derived, marker for coronary artery disease (CAD) to better measure clinically important characterizations of the disease.

'Stem cell plasters' could revolutionize treatment for children with congenital heart disease

Researchers at the University of Bristol funded by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) have developed 'stem cell plasters' to revolutionize the way surgeons treat children living with congenital heart disease, so they don't need as many open-heart operations.

Seroprevalence measurements reveal a higher incidence of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections among residents of three federal German states

Researchers measured the seroprevalence against SARS-CoV-2 in blood donors from the states of Hesse, Lower Saxony, and North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany to determine the incidence of undetected asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections.

Study identifies a neuromarker for drug and food craving

Craving is known to be a key factor in substance use disorders and can increase the likelihood of future drug use or relapse. Yet its neural basis - or, how the brain gives rise to craving - is not well understood.

Study shows positive effect of concentrating surgery for children with neuroblastoma

Neuroblastoma is a tumor of the sympathetic nervous system that occurs mainly in young children. Every year, 25 children in the Netherlands receive this diagnosis. Surgery to remove the tumor tissue forms an important part of the treatment plan.
