ASHG will host the Genetic Diagnosis & Rare Disease Virtual Symposium on December 2–3, featuring 16 expert-led sessions on cutting-edge genomic technologies and rare disease diagnosis. The event offers interactive learning, up to six CME credits, and global access to innovations like long-read sequencing, RNA-Seq, and federated variant sharing.
Medical reports written in technical terminology can pose challenges for patients. A team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has investigated how artificial intelligence can make CT findings easier to understand. In the study, reading time decreased, and patients rated the automatically simplified texts as more comprehensible and more helpful.
Excessive screen use among school-aged children has been linked to sleep disturbances and behavioral problems, but its effects on brain development have remained unclear. Now, researchers from Japan have examined data from over 11,000 children to explore the relationship between screen time, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, and brain structure. Their findings reveal that longer daily screen exposure is linked to increased ADHD symptoms and measurable changes in brain development.
