Artificial Intelligence Achieves Near-Human Performance in Image Analysis
A research team has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) method that trains computers to interpret pathology images. In a recent test of the method developed to examine images of lymph nodes, human complemented with computer analyses together identified breast cancer with 99.5% accuracy. More...27 Jun 2016
PCR Better at Identifying Breast Tumor Subtypes than Immunohistochemistry
A recently published study suggested that a RT-qPCR (reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction) assay was superior to classical immunohistochemistry for subtyping breast tumors. More...27 Jun 2016
Nanoscale Biosensor for Detection of Pathogenic Bacteria under Field Conditions
A team of bioengineers used nanoscale technology to develop a simple, portable biosensor system for detection of pathogenic bacteria – such as the diarrhea-causing Escherichia coli (E. coli) 0157:H7 – under field conditions. More...27 Jun 2016
Smartphone-based Method Introduced for Evaluating Pneumatic Tube Systems
Investigators at the University of Virginia Health System (Charlottesville, USA) used accelerometer, chronometer, video, and illumination smartphone applications to evaluate the conditions during transport through the facility's pneumatic tube system following the discovery of some damaged blood sample tubes.
