GLP-1RA and SGLT2i medications for type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer disease and related dementias

About The Study: In people with type 2 diabetes, both glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) were statistically significantly associated with decreased risk of Alzheimer disease and related dementias compared with other glucose-lowering drugs, and no difference was observed between both drugs.

Elucidating Earth’s interior through advanced teleseismic phase picking

KeAi Communications Co., Ltd.
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A deep learning-based scheme is proposed for automated and efficient processing of teleseismic phases.

1. The validation with two teleseismic phases, PcP and PKiKP, demonstrate high detection accuracies and low picking errors.

2. Deep-learning picking of first peaks is more accurate than picking first breaks of teleseismic phases.

3. This proposed scheme would enhance mining of teleseismic phases and probing of Earth's interior structures and their dynamics.
