Genetic twist in gallstone disease may shield against heart attacks

Genetic twist in gallstone disease may shield against heart attacks

In a recent study published in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers performed a Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to evaluate the causal association between gallstone disease (GSD) and coronary heart disease (CHD) or acute myocardial infarction (AMI) risk. Study: Causal effect of gallstone disease on the risk of coronary heart disease or acute myocardial infarction: a Mendelian randomization … Read more

AI model for detecting ocular disease using retinal images

AI model for detecting ocular disease using retinal images

Artificial intelligence (AI) models have been validated for recognizing signs of eye diseases in retinal images, enhancing diagnosis, and risk stratification. Combining natural images and medical data, these models provide reliable disease prediction, thereby enabling efficient risk stratification in fields like chest X-rays and dermatology imaging. In a recent study published in Nature, researchers present … Read more
