Artificial intelligence guides personalized treatment for heart patients
An international team led by the University of Zurich used Artificial Intelligence to refine risk assessment in non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome, proposing a new GRACE 3.0 score that could better guide invasive treatment. The analysis spans data from more than 600,000 patients and suggests many should be reclassified.
Big tech backs BECCS carbon removal at mills and biomass plants
Microsoft and other large companies are paying pulp and paper mills and biomass projects to capture carbon dioxide and store it underground, spurring rapid growth of BECCS but also raising questions about carbon accounting and pollution.
Artificial intelligence is changing how clinicians quantify pain
Clinicians are testing artificial intelligence to turn pain into a measurable vital sign, from facial analysis apps in care homes to monitors in the operating room. Early deployments report fewer sedatives, calmer patients, and faster assessments, but questions about bias and context remain.
