A deep learning system (DL-T1b) leveraging digital pathology achieved strong performance (AUC 0.910) for predicting lymph node metastasis in T1b gastric cancer. Integration with six clinical risk factors into a nomogram further boosted predictive accuracy, offering a precise tool for personalized treatment decisions. This study establishes proof-of-concept for deep learning-based pathomics in early gastric cancer risk stratification.
A new Editorial published in Translational Exercise Biomedicine (ISSN: 2942-6812), an official partner journal of International Federation of Sports Medicine (FIMS), argues that physical inactivity can no longer be described merely as a public-health crisis. Instead, the authors contend, it represents a persistent implementation failure of modern societies to align with fundamental human biology with consequences that strain global health systems, economic sustainability, and long-term human resilience. The editorial was authored by Yannis P. Pitsiladis, Daria Obratov, Fabio Pigozzi and Ugur Erdener.
Sight-threatening antibiotic-resistant eye infections are becoming a significant threat to vision in dogs, cats, and horses, according to a newly published comprehensive review. The study examines global trends in antimicrobial resistance in animal eye infections and warns that multidrug-resistant bacteria are becoming more common in referral veterinary settings. The review also highlights a critical challenge for veterinarians: standard laboratory tests may not always predict how well topical eye treatments will work in practice. The authors call for earlier diagnostic testing, more targeted antibiotic use, stronger infection-control measures, and the development of antibiotic-sparing strategies to help preserve treatment options for future patients.
Curtin University researchers will examine the ‘partygoing’ behaviours of young people in regional areas, the use of nicotine pouches and ways to promote physical activity among young people as part of new projects funded by Healthway.
A joint research team from China Pharmaceutical University, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, National Engineering Research Center for the Emergency Drug, and Shandong Agricultural University has developed a novel multisite bridging‑mediated lateral flow immunoassay (mbLFIA) that enables ultrasensitive, enzyme‑free, visual on‑site detection of mosquito‑borne viruses such as chikungunya virus (CHIKV). The breakthrough, published in Targetome, addresses a critical global need for field‑deployable diagnostics in resource‑limited regions, where conventional nucleic acid tests rely on bioenzymes and bulky laboratory instruments.
