- Predicting 5-year risk of type 2 diabetes with deep learning algorithms
-Anticipating benefits of personalized early diagnosis and prevention strategies
A research team led by professor Nan-Hee Kim from Korea University's College of Medicine (Nan-Hee Kim and So-Young Park of Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism; Min-Hee Kim and Jae-Young Kim of Health Science Research Center) recently developed a diabetes prediction system using clinical and genetic data. The system was registered for the domestic patent.
The diabetes prediction system is designed to predict the risk of diabetes utilizing clinical and genetic information through deep learning artificial intelligence algorithms.
The number of type 2 diabetes patients is rising globally, and it is caused by insulin secretion and insulin resistance due to genetic and environmental factors such as: aging, obesity, and lifestyle habits. Preventing the onset of diabetes is of the utmost importance because once the disease occurs, it is difficult to manage and can lead to various complications. If this innovative prediction system is commercialized in the medical field, it will assist healthcare professionals to identify individuals at high risk for developing diabetes and implement early preventive strategies.
When applying the diabetes prediction system, users' clinical and genetic information is transmitted and managed. Here, the information includes clinical data such as blood sugar levels, physical activity, and obesity, as well as genetic data that increases the risk of developing diabetes. Based on this information, the artificial intelligence algorithm calculates the likelihood of developing diabetes within the next five years, and users can receive a risk assessment report.
Professor Nan-Hee Kim said, "This diabetes prediction system can make precise predictions by reflecting the users' personal and genetic characteristics along with their lifestyle habits. This will allow us to predict the high risk for developing diabetes and take early preventive measures."

Large-scale production of organic solar cells with high efficiency and minimal environmental impact. This can now be made possible through a new design principle developed at Linköping University, Sweden. In the study, published in the journal Nature Energy, the researchers have studied molecule shape and interaction in organic solar cells.
“With electrification and the development of AI, we will probably see a significant increase in the world’s energy needs. That electricity needs to come from environmentally sustainable sources if we are to slow down climate change at the same time,” says Feng Gao, professor of optoelectronics at LiU.

CHICAGO – A diet high in ultra-processed foods is associated with higher amounts of fat stored inside thigh muscles, regardless of the amount of calories consumed or level of physical activity, according to a study being presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). Higher amounts of intramuscular fat in the thigh could also increase the risk for knee osteoarthritis.
The use of natural and minimally processed ingredients in many modern diets has decreased, more often being replaced with ingredients that have been industrially processed, artificially flavored, colored or chemically altered.

CHICAGO – A new study found that injury rates among transgender women are significantly higher than injuries among cisgender women, based on radiological imaging. The findings will be presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
‘Cisgender’ is a term used to describe people whose gender identity matches the sex they were assigned at birth, while ‘transgender’ describes people whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned ...

Two massive asteroids hit Earth around 35.65 million years ago, but did not lead to any lasting changes in the Earth’s climate, according to a new study by UCL researchers.
The rocks, both several miles wide, hit Earth about 25,000 years apart, leaving the 60-mile (100km) Popigai crater in Siberia, Russia, and the 25-55 mile (40-85km) crater in the Chesapeake Bay, in the United States - the fourth and fifth largest known asteroid craters on Earth.
The new study, published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment, found no evidence of a lasting shift in climate in the 150,000 years that followed the impacts.
The researchers inferred the past climate ...

The precise measurement of electrical resistance is essential in industrial production or electronics – for example, in the manufacture of high-tech sensors, microchips and flight controls. “Very precise measurements are essential here, as even the smallest deviations can significantly affect these complex systems”, explains Professor Charles Gould, a physicist at the Institute for Topological Insulators at the University of Würzburg (JMU).
The scientist now for the first time have experimentally implemented a so-called quantum resistance standard that can operate without an externally applied magnetic field. “In physics, ...

Most young people who were confirmed to have long Covid three months after a positive PCR test had recovered within 24 months, finds a new study led by UCL researchers.
The Children and young people with Long Covid (CLoCK) study, published in Nature Communications Medicine and funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), is the world’s largest longitudinal cohort study on long Covid in children.
The researchers, led by Professor Sir Terence Stephenson and Professor Roz Shafran (both UCL Great Ormond Street ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Although it is less abundant than carbon dioxide, methane gas contributes disproportionately to global warming because it traps more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, due to its molecular structure.
MIT chemical engineers have now designed a new catalyst that can convert methane into useful polymers, which could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
“What to do with methane has been a longstanding problem,” says Michael Strano, the Carbon P. Dubbs Professor of Chemical Engineering at MIT and the senior author of the study. “It’s a source of carbon, and we want to keep it out ...

A team from the University of Illinois has engineered potato to be more resilient to global warming showing 30% increases in tuber mass under heatwave conditions. This adaptation may provide greater food security for families dependent on potatoes, as these are often the same areas where the changing climate has already affected multiple crop seasons.
“We need to produce crops that can withstand more frequent and intense heatwave events if we are going to meet the population’s need for food in regions most at ...

New research from Karolinska Institutet and Columbia University shows that the heart has a mini-brain – its own nervous system that controls the heartbeat. A better understanding of this system, which is much more diverse and complex than previously thought, could lead to new treatments for heart diseases. The study, conducted on zebrafish, is published in Nature Communications.
The heart has long been thought to be controlled solely by the autonomic nervous system, which transmits signals from the brain. The heart’s neural network, which is embedded in the superficial layers of the heart wall, has been considered a simple structure that relays the signals from the ...

Research Highlights:
An analysis of more than 1,300 stroke survivors found that women were less likely than their male counterparts to take medications, such as cholesterol-lowering statins and blood thinning medications to prevent blood clots, to prevent recurrent strokes, as prescribed.
Mexican American women were three times more likely to report not taking cholesterol-lowering medications as prescribed than Mexican American men in the study.
Women who were older or married were also more likely to miss taking prescribed doses. Researchers suggest ...
