Google DeepMind has announced a new type of AI model for medical research that can predict the structure and interactions of all molecules in life. The so-called "AlphaFold 3" AI model goes beyond the calculation of proteins, explained DeepMind, a subsidiary of the Google holding company Alphabet, and provides particularly accurate predictions for the interactions of proteins with other biomolecules in human cells. The London-based DeepMind subsidiary Isomorphic Labs, which specialises in the use of artificial intelligence in drug research, also played a key role in the development of the AI m...

Washington (AFP) - Un appareil d'imagerie par résonance magnétique (IRM), construit avec de simples pièces disponibles dans le commerce associées à de l'intelligence artificielle, a égalé les performances d'appareils d'IRM haut de gamme, selon une étude publiée jeudi qui pourrait favoriser un meilleur accès à ces outils coûteux qui sauvent des vies. L'IRM est une technique d'imagerie médicale permettant d'obtenir des vues précises en deux ou trois dimensions de l'intérieur du corps, de façon non invasive. L'IRM joue notamment un rôle crucial pour localiser des tumeurs et pour soigner des patho...

The consequences from severe flooding in Kenya could last beyond the current heavy rains, with environmental damage raising the risks of contamination and disease. "Many water sources are polluted and the risk of epidemics spreading throughout the country is increasing," said Camilla Schynoll, emergency relief coordinator for the German aid agency Welthungerhilfe. "It's a race against time," said Schynoll. "The poorest and already vulnerable families in particular urgently need safe shelter and access to basic services such as clean water, food and health clinics." The floods are currently cau...

Washington (AFP) - Independent US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr believed he may have been attacked by a worm that ate part of his brain and then died inside his head, US media reported on Wednesday. Kennedy, 70, made the claim in a 2012 deposition as part of his divorce from his second wife, according to the New York Times, which said the scion of the storied political clan reported severe memory loss and mental fog. A New York surgeon who reviewed his brain scans told Kennedy his health issues could have been "caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and t...

For the first time, researchers have identified an effective treatment for African spitting cobra bites, which currently lead to severe injuries and disfigurements including limb loss and amputation. Knewz.com has learned spitting cobra venom rapidly causes dermonecrosis, which destroys the skin, muscle and bone near the site of the snake bite. A bite from an African spitting cobra can lead to the loss of the whole limb or necessitate amputation in extreme cases. There is currently no treatment for severe local envenoming from spitting cobras. Antivenoms only exist for other snake species, and...

Personalised screening early in pregnancy could help doctors better predict who might be at risk for pre-eclampsia, according to a new study. The condition is a type of high blood pressure that can be dangerous in pregnancy and is a leading cause of maternal death worldwide. According to the UK’s National Health Service (NHS), pre-eclampsia affects two to five of every 100 pregnancies. A new study of more than 7,000 women with first-time pregnancies suggests that a screening algorithm that includes maternal history, blood marker tests, and ultrasounds could help to identify a woman’s risk for ...

Researchers have found that people who have two copies of a specific gene almost all develop signs of Alzheimer's disease, which could represent a distinct genetic form of the condition. While scientists knew the gene APOE4 was linked to an increased risk for Alzheimer's, a new study suggests that for people carrying two copies of the gene, it's an underlying cause of it. Published in Nature Medicine, the study also found that individuals with two copies of the gene develop the disease earlier than people with other variants of the APOE gene. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of deme...
