Artificial intelligence is outperforming doctors when it comes to detecting common cancers in men. A new UCLA study found that AI tools identified prostate cancer with 84% accuracy, compared with 67% accuracy for doctor-detected cases, according to a UCLA press release. Unfold AI, developed by California-based Avenda Health, is a recently U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved software that uses AI algorithms to visualize the likelihood of cancer based on different types of clinical data. In the study, a team of seven urologists and three radiologists analyzed 50 cases in which tumors had been removed, looking for signs of residual cancer.…

Artist’s impression showing the bipolar jets of gas emanating from the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy. Credit: ESA/Hubble, L. Calçada (ESO)The study revealed that galaxies have a regulatory mechanism similar to that of hearts and lungs that controls their growth by limiting the amount of gas they absorb.This mechanism is a supermassive Black Hole and its jet emission keeps the galaxy from expanding too quickly, extending its lifespan and preventing it from prematurely aging into a “zombie” galaxy.Galaxies avoid premature death because they have “hearts and lungs” that effectively regulate their “breathing” and prevent them from…

The day after Valentine’s Day, I woke up feeling bloodshot-eyed, foggy-headed, and a little sick to my stomach.I hadn’t had too much to drink. I hadn’t been ghosted, scorned, or broken up with.
