A recent study published in Nature Medicine has revealed that artificial intelligence (AI) can significantly improve breast cancer detection rates. The research, conducted in Germany, found that AI-assisted mammography screening identified one more cancer case per 1,000 screened individuals compared to traditional methods. This breakthrough has the potential to streamline the screening process and reduce…
A recent study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine has found that women who incorporate short bursts of intense physical activity into their daily routines can lower their risk of major cardiovascular problems by 45%. The study, led by Emmanuel Stamatakis, suggests that even just 20-30 seconds of intense exercise per day can…
