Breaking News in Biomedicine October 2024
- Histopathology Advancements: Researchers proposed a new technique called Stain SAN for histopathology, which adjusts color in stained tissue samples to improve machine-learning-based classification systems. This could lead to better diagnostic tools
- Mammography Screening Study: A large US study found that women were less likely to return for subsequent mammography screenings if they had a false positive recall for additional imaging or biopsy. This raises concerns about the unintended consequences of false-positive results
- Alzheimer's Disease Biomarker: New research revealed a promising method for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease earlier by analyzing potassium isotopes in blood serum. This minimally invasive test could help diagnose AD before cognitive decline becomes apparent
