Georgia Tech researchers have developed an AI-powered hip exoskeleton that adapts in real time to a stroke survivor’s changing gait, helping patients walk with greater ease and confidence. Unlike traditional devices that require constant manual tuning, the system learns each person’s unique stride within minutes and continues adjusting as they move. The breakthrough could extend beyond stroke recovery, offering personalized mobility support for people of all ages and conditions.

An analysis published today in The Journal of Clinical Investigation explains how leptin affects the brain and how it might be used in future therapeutics. 

DKA happens when the body is unable to make insulin and begins to break down fat for fuel. This can lead to a life-threatening buildup of sugar (glucose) and ketoacids in the blood. Doctors have typically administered insulin to address the complication, authors noted. 

But evidence now shows that, when insulin is insufficient, the brain plays a key role in  driving DKA, according to the new analysis, based in literature and research that includes studies conducted at UW Medicine since 2011.  

A new AI tool could make it much easier—and cheaper—for doctors and researchers to train medical imaging software, even when only a small number of patient scans are available. It could lead to faster, more affordable diagnostic tools, especially in hospitals and clinics with limited resources.

Novel imaging research indicates that young adults with a higher genetic risk for depression showed less brain activity in several areas when responding to rewards and punishments. The study also uncovered notable differences between men and women. The findings from this new study in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging, published by Elsevier, highlight potential early indicators for depression before clinical symptoms fully manifest.
