PurposeRobot-assisted systems offer an opportunity to support the diagnostic and therapeutic treatment of vascular diseases to reduce radiation exposure and support the limited medical staff in vascular medicine. In the diagnosis and follow-up care of vascular pathologies, Doppler ultrasound has become the preferred diagnostic tool. The study presents a robotic system for automatic Doppler ultrasound… Continue reading Automatic #robotic doppler #sonography of leg #arteries

Beyond human ears: navigating the uncharted risks of #AI scribes in clinical #practice
Artificial intelligence (AI) scribes have been rapidly adopted across health systems, driven by their promise to ease the documentation burden and reduce clinician burnout. While early evidence shows efficiency gains, this commentary cautions that adoption is outpacing validation and oversight. Without greater scrutiny, the rush to deploy AI scribes may compromise patient safety, clinical integrity,… Continue reading Beyond human ears: navigating the uncharted risks of #AI scribes in clinical #practice
The Illusion of #Readiness: Stress Testing Large Frontier Models on Multimodal #Medical Benchmarks
Large frontier models like GPT-5 now achieve top scores on medical benchmarks. But our stress tests tell a different story. Leading systems often guess correctly even when key inputs like images are removed, flip answers under trivial prompt changes, and fabricate convincing yet flawed reasoning. These aren't glitches; they expose how today's benchmarks reward test-taking… Continue reading The Illusion of #Readiness: Stress Testing Large Frontier Models on Multimodal #Medical Benchmarks
Structural brain improvements following individually tailored serious #exergame-based training in mild #neurocognitive disorders: exploratory randomized controlled trial
IntroductionExergame-based training is emerging as the most effective exercise modality for improving cognition, yet its neural correlates remain largely unexplored. This study explored gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) changes following the addition of ‘Brain-IT’ training to usual care in mild neurocognitive disorder (mNCD) and their associations with cognitive performance changes.MethodsWe included 41 participants… Continue reading Structural brain improvements following individually tailored serious #exergame-based training in mild #neurocognitive disorders: exploratory randomized controlled trial
Digital #Eye #Strain Monitoring for One-Hour #Smartphone Engagement Through Eye Activity Measurement System
Smartphones have revolutionized our daily lives, becoming portable pocket computers with easy internet access. India, the second-highest smartphone and internet user, experienced a significant rise in smartphone usage between 2013 and 2024. Prolonged smartphone use, exceeding 20 min at a time, can lead to physical and mental health issues, including psychophysiological disorders. Digital devices and… Continue reading Digital #Eye #Strain Monitoring for One-Hour #Smartphone Engagement Through Eye Activity Measurement System
Phenome-wide Analysis of #Diseases in Relation to Objectively Measured #Sleep Traits and Comparison with Subjective Sleep Traits in 88,461 Adults
Background: Sleep traits have been suggested to correlate with various diseases, but most evidence is based on subjective sleep measurement. We investigated the associations of accelerometer-derived objective sleep traits with diseases throughout physiological systems to ascertain whether the disease spectrum related to objective sleep traits differs from that related to subjective sleep traits. Methods: In… Continue reading Phenome-wide Analysis of #Diseases in Relation to Objectively Measured #Sleep Traits and Comparison with Subjective Sleep Traits in 88,461 Adults
Controlled colonization of the human #gut with a genetically engineered microbial therapeutic
Editor’s summaryThe gut #microbiota has long been an aspirational target for clinical delivery of therapeutics. Successful therapy by this route depends on ensuring engraftment of the therapeutic organisms and their clearance after treatment. Whitaker et al. have engineered a strain of Bacteroides vulgatus, which is commonly found in the gut of healthy humans, with two… Continue reading Controlled colonization of the human #gut with a genetically engineered microbial therapeutic
#AI -guided patient stratification improves outcomes and efficiency in the AMARANTH #Alzheimer’s Disease clinical trial
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) drug discovery has been hampered by patient heterogeneity, and the lack of sensitive tools for precise stratification. Here, we demonstrate that our robust and interpretable AI-guided tool (predictive prognostic model, PPM) enhances precision in patient stratification, improving outcomes and decreasing sample size for a AD clinical trial. The AMARANTH trial of lanabecestat,… Continue reading #AI -guided patient stratification improves outcomes and efficiency in the AMARANTH #Alzheimer’s Disease clinical trial
