While there is clear potential to use ChatGPT in a clinical setting, researchers say the AI algorithm may not yet be a reliable way of replacing the family doctor, especially when it comes to making effective decisions about prescribing antibiotics for infections.
Rilmenidine, a drug commonly prescribed to help treat hypertension can help slow the effects of aging and extend lifespan, a new study reports.
A new study reports cancer patients who frequently eat peanuts may be at increased risk of their cancer spreading. Researchers found Peanut agglutinin (PNA), a carbohydrate-binding protein that enters blood circulation after a peanut is eaten, interacts with endothelial cells to produce cytokines. Some of the cytokines are recognized promoters of cancer metastasis.
1 in 20 children hospitalized for COVID-19 in the UK develop neurological complications associated with the viral infection. A new study reveals a wide spectrum of neurological complications in children and suggests they may be more common than in adults admitted to hospital with COVID.
A new genetic study reveals the evolution of longevity and larger brains in capuchin monkeys.
A combination of the Zika virus and Chikungunya, two mosquito-borne infections, increase stroke risk, a new study reports.
Study identifies a specific type of immune cell that induces inflammation in herpes simplex virus (HSV) encephalitis.
Ebselen, a Selenium-based drug molecule, and several other novel compounds can change the characteristics of SOD1. The findings could help with the development of new therapeutics for ALS.
A newly developed eye movement measurement test sheds light on inhibitory control and brain aging.
Alterations associated with aging and cellular senescence may be linked to a decrease in cell proliferation, while cancer shifts towards increased cell division. The study challenges the traditional view that cancer risks increase as we age, finding the aging process may suppress the development of cancer.
Researchers conclude many psychiatric diagnoses are scientifically worthless as tools for identifying discrete mental health disorders.
Blocking the activity of interleukin-1 in mouse models of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) helped reverse symptoms. Researchers say patients with CRPS should respond to immune-based treatments which reduce some of the disease features.
