Japanese clinical trial data published this week reveals an advance in pediatric anesthesiology that should catch the attention of medical device investors and hospital efficiency strategists alike. By monitoring children’s brain waves during surgery, doctors can dramatically reduce anesthetic dosing while improving recovery metrics and slashing costs. The randomized controlled trial of 177 children aged … Read more
New CDC data reveals a dramatic shift in autism diagnosis patterns across America, with Black children now showing the highest prevalence rates in multiple regions. The findings, released last week in the CDC’s biennial surveillance report, show overall autism rates have climbed to 1 in 31 children aged 8 years – a significant increase from … Read more
MIT researchers have developed a probabilistic framework that could fundamentally alter the economics of AI code generation, potentially challenging the assumption that bigger models automatically deliver better results. The innovation, leveraging sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) techniques, offers a path for smaller language models (LLMs) to outperform specialized commercial systems more than twice their size, as … Read more
The latest AI systems are now diagnosing medical conditions about as well as junior doctors, according to a sweeping new analysis that’s likely to raise eyebrows across healthcare. While seasoned specialists still outperform the machines, this milestone suggests we’re entering a new era where AI could meaningfully augment medical education and extend care in underserved … Read more
Osaka researchers have developed an AI model that performs complex fluid simulations in minutes instead of hours, potentially transforming offshore engineering while maintaining high accuracy. This advancement could accelerate development cycles for maritime technologies and enable real-time monitoring systems previously considered computationally impossible. Traditional particle-based fluid simulations, essential for predicting wave behavior in oceanic applications, … Read more
Artificial intelligence is now venturing into unexpected territory: evaluating the sensory qualities of chocolate brownies. A study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign reveals that large language models like ChatGPT could streamline food product development and potentially reduce costs for manufacturers navigating an increasingly competitive market.
