The NIH-developed AI algorithm, TrialGPT, can identify relevant clinical trials for eligible patients and provide a clear explanation of their eligibility. The researchers found that clinicians using TrialGPT spent 40% less time screening patients while maintaining the same level of accuracy.
Researchers at NIH found an AI model solved medical quiz questions with high accuracy, but made mistakes explaining images and reasoning behind diagnoses. Human physicians scored higher when using external resources.
Researchers developed an AI model to analyze noncoding DNA mutations' impact on brain function and development, identifying potential causes of complex brain disorders like autism. The study sheds light on the origins of brain disorders and may lead to novel treatments.
Researchers identified 11,378 viroid-like cccRNAs in 4,409 species-level clusters, exceeding previously known elements. These findings reveal viroids are more common and abundant than thought, with distant relatives of human Hepatitis Delta Virus discovered.
Researchers discovered over 2.5 million novel RNA virus sequences in diverse metatranscriptomes, revealing new phyla and classes of bacteria-infecting viruses. This expansion significantly increases known RNA virus diversity, shedding light on their evolution.
Scientists have discovered a new syndrome associated with severe congenital neutropenia, linked to mutations in the G6PC3 gene. The study found that these mutations affect glucose levels, leading to cellular stress and immune system dysfunction, potentially relevant to other diseases.
The NIH/National Library of Medicine (NLM) will administer a new public health information expert training program, funded by the $3.68 million grant. The program aims to develop more public health professionals skilled in applying computer technology to enhance their work.
The National Library of Medicine is providing $102,000 to the Medical Library Association to strengthen programs for recruiting minorities into medical librarianship and increasing scholarship opportunities. The goal is to improve diversity in health sciences librarianship by attracting more minority applicants.
The National Library of Medicine is launching an initiative to increase internet access to health information, with a focus on underserved communities. The 49 funded projects will provide computers and teach computer skills to individuals in rural, inner-city, and suburban areas.
The National Library of Medicine (NLM) announces 24 contract awards totaling $2.3 million to develop innovative medical projects leveraging the capabilities of the Next Generation Internet (NGI). These projects aim to improve data transfer, security, and usability in healthcare settings.
