In a new study, Duke Health researchers show that a quick, outpatient nasal swab can pick up early biological changes linked to Alzheimer’s, even before thinking and memory problems appear.

Environmental and sustainability compliance reporting is getting increasingly dependent on geospatial data and workflows. However, understanding of the connection between new European Union (EU) regulations and existing Earth Observation (EO) and Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies is limited. A new review study highlights how close alignment of law, data, and corporate practices can ensure that the geospatial workflows are fit for purpose in environmental and sustainability compliance reporting.

Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine) have developed a revolutionary new method to improve compact gene-editing tools known as base editors, which enable smaller, more precise DNA correction tools that may be safer for future gene therapies.Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine) have developed a revolutionary new method to improve compact gene-editing tools known as base editors, which enable smaller, more precise DNA correction tools that may be safer for future gene therapies.

The introduction of vision-enabled artificial intelligence (AI) to medical scribes – the recording devices used by doctors to document meetings with patients in real-time – could increase the accuracy of patient notes and save valuable time for clinicians.Researchers found that a vision-enabled AI scribe, employing a combination of Google’s Gemini model and Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, substantially improved the documentation accuracy of pharmacist-patient consultations and reduced omissions and errors in clinical notes.
