Prostate cancer diagnosis | AI predicts heart disease | Memory recall

Combining tests more accurately diagnoses prostate cancer; AI predicts heart disease risk from CT scans; how memories are recalled

March 17, 2020 Edition COVID-19 is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation, and we at NIH are doing everything we can toward the development of diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccines. You can find the latest public health information from CDC at www.coronavirus.gov and the latest research information from NIH at www.nih.gov/coronavirus. Meanwhile, scientific research continues to progress on many other fronts, and we will continue to try to bring you stories across a wide range of topics. Combining tests more accurately diagnoses prostate cancer Adding MRI-targeted biopsies to the traditional prostate biopsy created a more accurate diagnosis and prediction of the course of prostate cancer. Artificial intelligence predicts heart disease risk from CT scans Artificial intelligence-based analysis of CT scans predicted people's risk of heart disease more accurately than current methods. Memories involve replay of neural firing patterns Researchers found that the distinct firing patterns of individual neurons that the brain uses when forming memories are replayed when remembering the experience.
