Researchers develop AI model to automatically segment MRI images

Research scientists in Switzerland have developed and tested a robust AI model that automatically segments major anatomic structures in MRI images, independent of sequence. In the study, the model outperformed other publicly available tools.

Toward improved early detection of pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is the worst prognosis cancer globally, with just 13% of patients who are diagnosed with PC surviving for 5 years or more after initial diagnosis. Early detection of PC is the primary concern of most PC research, as it has the potential to make a substantial difference to the treatment and survival of patients. Survival rates, however, remain poor due to the vague nature of the symptoms associated with early-stage PC, and subsequently the late-stage of the disease at diagnosis. Now researchers are focusing on pancreatic cystic lesions to tackle the crucial issue of identifying patients who are at high-risk of developing pancreatic cancer, to improve survival rates.

Even after learning the right idea, humans and animals still seem to test other approaches, study suggests

New research adds evidence that learning a successful strategy for approaching a task doesn't prevent further exploration, even if it reduces performance.

Many gluten-free foods are high in calories and sugar, low on fiber and protein, and they cost more − new research

A loaf of brown bread with a bread knife nearby is displayed on brown wrapping paper.

U.S. consumers often pay more for gluten-free products, yet these items typically provide less protein and more sugar and calories compared with gluten-containing alternatives. That is the key finding of my new study ^[1], published in the journal Plant Foods for Human Nutrition.

This study compared gluten-free products with their gluten-containing counterparts, and the findings suggested that many perceived benefits of gluten-free...
