Scientists at Universite de Montreal and its affiliated Montreal Clinical Research Institute (IRCM) have uncovered unique roles for a protein complex in the function of brain cell connectivity, as well as in specific cognitive behaviours

Mental illnesses, such as anxiety disorders, autism and schizophrenia are among the leading health disorders worldwide.

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in hospitals and patient care is steadily increasing. Especially in specialist areas with a high proportion of imaging, such as radiology, AI has long been part of everyday clinical practice.

Study demonstrates the potential of using artificial intelligence in oculomics to assess HbA1c levels from fundus images. By analyzing over 6,000 images, the researchers found that diverse datasets are key to minimizing bias and improving model reliability across different populations.

Diabetic kidney disease – a complication of diabetes – is considered the leading cause of chronic kidney disease and kidney failure worldwide.
