New deep learning model lays the foundation for specialized diagnostic models

Mount Sinai researchers have developed an innovative artificial intelligence (AI) model for electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis that allows for the interpretation of ECGs as language. This approach can enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of ECG-related diagnoses, especially for cardiac conditions where limited data is available on which to train.

Virally mediated gene therapy could potentially treat genetic hearing loss

By 2050, one in 10 individuals are expected to live with some form of hearing loss. Of the hundreds of millions of cases of hearing loss affecting individuals worldwide, genetic hearing loss is often the most difficult to treat.

Synthetic delivery vector STxB induces mucosal immunity against viral antigens

Research describes the development of a synthetic delivery vector called STxB for mucosal vaccination. It induces mucosal immunity, including resident memory CD8+ T cells and IgA antibodies, against antigens derived from mucosal viruses when administered intranasally in mice.

Tonsillectomy found to be cost-effective for adults with recurrent severe sore throats

Scientists say tonsil removal is both clinically and cost effective for adults who get recurrent severe sore throats.

Institution-specific machine learning model can predict cardiac patient's mortality risk prior to surgery

A machine learning-based model that enables medical institutions to predict the mortality risk for individual cardiac surgery patients has been developed by a Mount Sinai research team, providing a significant performance advantage over current population-derived models.

Bioresorbable vascular scaffolds may be just as effective as drug-eluting metal stents for treating heart disease patients

First-generation bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) may be just as effective as drug-eluting metallic stents, which are currently the standard treatment for heart disease patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Newly identified genetic variant provides protection from Alzheimer's disease

A single patient can spark new research questions and provide answers about a disease. And when a new case is identified, investigators can make connections between them that can lead to even more powerful and persuasive ideas about cause and treatment.

Nervous system of people with post-Covid fatigue found to be underactive in three key areas

Experts from Newcastle University found the nervous system of people with post-Covid fatigue was underactive in three key areas. Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of long Covid.

Study reveals ERK signaling as a crucial molecular switch between scarring and regeneration

Why do some animals regenerate lost tissues after injury while others don't? Researchers from the lab of Kerstin Bartscherer (Osnabrück University and formerly Hubrecht Institute) and Ashley Seifert (University of Kentucky) studied spiny mice, which have a remarkable regenerative capacity, to answer this question.
