AI Beat Clinicians at Figuring Out Difficult Diagnoses
A generative artificial intelligence (AI) program diagnosed elderly patients with extensive medical histories and long hospital stays more accurately than clinicians, suggesting the technology could help identify missed diagnoses, according to a new study. An analysis of medical histories for six patients over the age of 65 with delayed diagnoses revealed that GPT-4 (Generative Pre-trained […]
Chemical compound promotes healthy aging, study finds: BAM15 helped geriatric mice with obesity add muscle, strength and energy while losing fat
A recently discovered chemical compound helped elderly mice with obesity lose fat and weight, add muscle and strength, reduce age-related inflammation and increase physical activity, a new study shows. The study, published in the Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, provides the first evidence that BAM15, a mitochondrial uncoupler, prevents sarcopenic obesity, or age-related muscle […]
A diet rich in plant-based products reduces the risk of cognitive impairment in the elderly: Metabolomics to study the impact of diet on health
A diet rich in plant products reduces the risk of cognitive impairment and dementia in the elderly. This is the result of a study by the Biomarkers and Nutritional Food Metabolomics Research Group of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Sciences of the University of Barcelona (UB) and the CIBER on Frailty and Healthy Aging […]
