Google AI outperforms general pathologists at validating Gleason grading of prostate cancer biopsies

by Bob Yirka , Medical Xpress A team of researchers from Google Health, working with others from institutions across the U.S. and Canada has found that a Google AI system was able to outperform general pathologists when validating Gleason grading of prostate cancer biopsies. In their paper published in JAMA Oncology, the group describes two...

Soy and wheat proteins helpful for building aging muscles, but not as potent as animal protein

THESE MEALS ARE EXAMPLES OF VEGETARIAN MEALS THAT HELP BUILD MUSCLE PROTEINS BECAUSE THEY CONSIST OF A COMPLEMENTARY AND COMPLETE PROFILE OF ALL ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS. On a gram for gram basis, animal proteins are more effective than plant proteins in supporting the maintenance of skeletal muscle mass with advancing age, shows research presented this...

A robot may one day perform your colonoscopy

Posted Today A team from CU Boulder is taking a page from The Magic School Bus and journeying inside the body.. Graduate student Gregory Formosa inspects a robot that could one day change how doctors performcolonoscopies. Credit: CU Boulder/Glenn Asakawa The researchers, led by engineer Mark Rentschler, aren’t traveling by shrinking bus like the one in the cartoon and book series. Instead, they’re using...

New way to break cancer’s vicious cycle

University of Toronto researchers have uncovered why some cancers grow faster than others. The team led by Liliana Attisano, Professor in U of T’s Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research, has identified a protein called NUAK2, which is produced by cancer cells to boost their proliferation and whose presence in tumours is associated with poor disease prognosis....
