A recent study developed a highly accurate risk prediction framework for preterm birth (PTB) that could broaden the potential of AI-driven multi-omics applications in precision obstetrics and biomedical research.

The model, deeply integrating genomics, transcriptomics, and large language models (LLMs) for the first time for PTB risk prediction, has shown its effectiveness and clinical application prospects.

The research was conducted by a collaborative team led by BGI Genomics, together with Professor Huang Hefeng's team, Shenzhen Longgang Maternal and Child Health Hospital, Fujian Maternity and Child Health Hospital, and OxTium Technology. The research was published in npj Digital Medicine on August 20th.

A new study suggests that a DNA-damaging gut bacterium may drive cancer development in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), a rare inherited condition that causes hundreds of colon polyps and almost always leads to colorectal cancer if untreated.

Sellar chondrosarcomas are a very rare form of bone cancer occurring in the base of the skull, which are not only poorly understood but also frequently misdiagnosed. Now, researchers have explored the clinical outcomes of non-invasive surgical techniques for these tumors, while additionally exploring their diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. They also provide valuable recommendations on using clinical and imaging data for accurate preoperative diagnosis of these tumors.

After a stay at the intensive care unit (ICU), many patients experience long-lasting psychological issues collectively known as post-intensive care syndrome; however, effective management interventions remain limited. In a recent study, researchers from Israel explored whether videoart could reduce stress-related symptoms among ICU patients. Although the short-term effects were not significant, patients exposed to videoart reported fewer severe stress symptoms a year after discharge, highlighting its potential as an effective technique to support psychological recovery.
