Credit: stevanovicigor/ Getty Images Researchers at the University of Zurich have developed a new artificial intelligence-enhanced version of the GRACE (Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events) scoring system that provides a personalized and accurate method for assessing coronary risk of patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). Published in The Lancet Digital Health, the new findings revealed by the development of GRACE 3.0 suggest that current approaches to treatment stratification for NSTE-ACS may be misclassifying patients and could be improved by leveraging individualized treatment effect predictions. “GRACE 3.0 is the most advanced and practical tool yet for treating patients with…

Their recognition helped immunotherapy gain traction and revolutionized cancer treatment. However, patients’ responses to cancer immunotherapy can vary widely, and many factors influence these—from genetics to the consumption of artificial sweeteners. In this article, learn about some…

Jeffrey K AronsonCentre for Evidence Based Medicine, Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford, Oxford, UKSome of the earliest uses of the words “analogy” and “analogue” related to medical matters, the former in Philip Barrough’s textbook, The Methode of Physicke (1583) and the latter in William Whewell’s History of the Inductive Sciences (1837), reporting the Theory of Analogues that the French naturalist Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire had propounded in his Philosophie Anatomique of 1818. Today, analogies of different kinds are often used in medical practice. Examples include: visual analogue scales; reasoning from known pharmacological properties of existing compounds…
