Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) powered model that predicts colorectal cancer risk in patients with ulcerative colitis and low-grade dysplasia.Using data from more than 55,000 individuals, the tool could accurately identify very-low-risk patients, potentially helping to reduce unnecessary surveillance colonoscopies.The findings suggest AI could support more personalized surveillance strategies while complementing clinician decision making.Colorectal cancer describes any cancer affecting the colon and rectum. Also known as bowel cancer, it is the third most common cancer worldwide, accounting for roughly 10% of all cancer cases. It is also the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths.People living with IBD, especially…
Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree says there’s still a lot of work to do on the India security file — a day after a senior government official said Ottawa no longer believes the country is linked to foreign interference and transnational repression.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a molecule derived, among others, from vitamin B3.Recent studies have highlighted the role it plays in maintaining body systems ‘youthful’, which has led to the suggestion that NAD supplementation could help slow down aging and boost longevity.But how much truth is there behind these claims? Longevity expert Şebnem Ünlüişler weighs in.Recent studies on aging have latched onto a “player” in longevity that had hitherto received little attention: nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD for short.NAD is a molecule sometimes derived from vitamin B3, also known as “niacin,” and it occurs in every living cell of the…
A new study shows that, despite having less plaque overall, females experience cardiovascular events at a similar rate to males, suggesting that they face a risk at lower levels of plaque buildup.In females, cardiovascular risk increased earlier and more steeply at lower plaque levels, suggesting that uniform plaque thresholds may underestimate risk in females.As such, the study’s findings indicate that sex-specific interpretation could improve risk assessment.Previous research has highlighted sex-specific differences for CAD, with females having a significantly greater risk of experiencing complications. Notably, plaque characteristics differ between males and females.Females often have a smaller coronary artery diameter, meaning they…
We asked Monique Richard, MS, RDN, LDN, a registered dietitian nutritionist and owner of Nutrition-In-Sight, for her top tips on how to use what we eat to potentially help lower dementia risk and preserve cognitive health, whether you plan to follow the DASH diet or not. “As a dietitian, what excites me most is the possibility of prevention and intervention with the power of nutrition-rich nourishment,” Richard commented. “Cognitive decline is multifactorial, nutrition is one of the few modifiable risk factors we can influence daily. Small, consistent shifts toward more plants, better blood sugar regulation, and vascular support can compound over…
