Detecting Ion Levels, Changes to Health

Hospital clinicians typically test for ions using invasive or rather cumbersome methods that require post-test analysis and offer a view of a patient’s ion concentrations at one moment in time. Today’s engineers and researchers, however, are devising new measurements that are simple to run, offer real-time results, and in some cases, provide continuous monitoring. One group is even using changes in ion flow—skin electrical resistance—as possible indicators of breast cancer.

Identification of Tissue Types and Gene Mutations From Histopathology Images for Advancing Colorectal Cancer Biology

IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology Report on New AI Tool Details Improved Colorectal Cancer Survival Rate.The report, “Identification of Tissue Types and Gene Mutations from Histopathology Images for Advancing Colorectal Cancer Biology,” available in the IEEE Xplore® digital library, details how AI can be used to more rapidly predict mutant KRAS (Kirsten rat sarcoma) genes in cancer patients—a key step in assessing and recommending treatment options. Patients with predicted mutant KRAS genes in the study showed a higher survival rate two and a half years after diagnosis.
