Credit: Antonio Iavarone, M.D. Findings could introduce new and accurate AI-based opportunities in the clinical setting, potentially leading to personalized treatments for patients with otherwise lethal forms of cancer. Scientists at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, collaborating with international researchers, have developed a sophisticated AI algorithm that performs advanced computational analysis to identify potential therapeutic targets for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and other cancers. Their research is described in the February 2 issue of the journal Nature Cancer…

Long-Term Consequences: Using Digital Devices To Soothe Young Children May Backfire
Lead Image: A study by Michigan Medicine published in JAMA Pediatrics has found that using devices such as smartphones and tablets to soothe upset children ages 3-5 is associated with increased emotional dysregulation, particularly in boys. Smartphones and tablets may help calm down a preschooler short term but could reduce opportunities to practice emotional coping skills. It’s a scene many parents have experienced – just as they’re trying to cook dinner, take a phone call or run an errand, their child has a meltdown. And sometimes, handing a fussy preschooler a digital device seems to offer a quick fix. But…

Building a Small Clinic: What You Might Need
Building a small clinic is an essential asset for many communities, providing access to healthcare services that may not otherwise be available. Licensing and permits are necessary to protect patients, staff, and community members from preventable harm. Essential tools and equipment include X-ray machines, ultrasound machines, cardio-vascular monitoring equipment, and reliable clinical chemistry analyzers. Experienced staff with up-to-date certifications and licensing requirements are also essential for reliable care in the clinic. Building a small clinic can be an essential asset for any community. Access to healthcare is necessary for many, but finding the proper care in smaller towns and rural…

A Doomed World: Astronomers Discover an Exoplanet Spiraling Toward Its Destruction
Lead Image: Ashley Chontos, Princeton’s Henry Norris Russell Postdoctoral Fellow in Astrophysics, was part of a team discovering that Kepler-1658b is spiraling to its doom around its aging star, providing a chance to learn more about the fate of other worlds as their solar systems evolve. Chontos also led 2019 effort to confirm that this object was an exoplanet, not the false positive it had believed to be for a decade. Credit: Gabriel Perez Diaz/Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias The impending demise of Kepler-1658b as it orbits its aging star offers an opportunity for scientists to gain insight into the…

Webb Peers Into Frozen Heart of Molecular Cloud – Unveils Dark Side of Pre-Stellar Ice Chemistry
Lead Image: An international team of astronomers has reported the discovery of diverse ices in the darkest regions of a cold molecular cloud measured to date by studying this region. This result allows astronomers to examine the simple icy molecules that will be incorporated into future exoplanets, while opening a new window on the origin of more complex molecules that are the first step in the creation of the building blocks of life.
