Your dreams may not foretell the future, but the way that your heart falls asleep just might. Researchers have now shown that in the early stages of sleep, as the nervous system undergoes rapid changes, the heart's electrical activity can be used to determine future health risks. All that is needed is the data from one electrocardiogram (ECG) lead, placed on the chest during sleep. With that, artificial intelligence can predict someone's risk of an irregular heartbeat, stroke, heart failure, or death from any cause in the next 10 years. The findings are published in the journal SLEEP, with support from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH). "This new approach has the potential to identify individuals at risk for cardiovascular disease years before clinical symptoms arise," says David Goff, acting director of NIH's National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). "Evaluating whether this information improves traditional risk prediction is an important next step. "The research team, led by scientists at Emory University, first trained a deep learning system on the public health data of nearly 16,000 patients.

Interaction of Bunyamwera virus non-structural protein NSm with cellular BNIP1 is required for efficient viral gene expression and replication - Nature
We’re sharing this article early to provide faster access to peer-reviewed, accepted research. It is citable and carries a permanent DOI. This version is subject to further edits and will be replaced automatically by the final Version of Record. All legal disclaimers apply. AbstractBunyamwera virus (BUNV) is the prototypical member of the Peribunyaviridae family of arthropod-borne viruses and possesses a genome comprising three segments of negative-sense RNA, named small, medium and large. The medium segment encodes a polyprotein that is processed to form Gn and Gc spikes and a non-structural protein, NSm. The role of NSm during replication in mammalian cells is poorly characterized, although it associates with a Golgi-derived structure called the virus factory (VF), the site of BUNV genome replication and virion assembly. To further define NSm function, we generated an epitope-tagged BUNV and used co-immunoprecipitation and quantitative proteomics to identify host interacting partners.
CT scans reveal body composition changes preceding pancreatic cancer diagnosis - News-Medical
People who develop pancreatic cancer experience measurable changes in body composition years before diagnosis that differ from those seen in similar individuals without cancer, according to a Mayo Clinic study led by former Mayo Clinic research fellow, Aleksander Bogdanski and published in Pancreatology. Pancreatic cancer remains one of the deadliest cancers, largely because most patients are diagnosed after the disease has already spread. Current surveillance programs focus primarily on people with inherited genetic risk or strong family histories, yet most pancreatic cancers occur outside those high-risk groups.
Study identifies potential treatment target for aggressive lung tumors - News-Medical
A UTHealth Houston-led team has identified a promising new avenue to curb the growth and spread of tumors associated with hard-to-treat lung and other cancers. The research was published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and led by Xiaochao Tan, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Integrative Biology and Pharmacology at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston.
$52 million study to investigate why some infants develop lasting lung infections - News-Medical
A Michigan Medicine-led research consortium has secured approval for up to $52 million in federal funding to launch a multicenter study examining why some young children recover fully from viral lower respiratory tract infections while others develop severe illness or lasting problems such as asthma. The project brings together researchers and clinicians from across the United States to study children ages 0 to 24 months who are hospitalized with viral lower respiratory tract infections, including bronchiolitis, pneumonia and pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Daily vaping in the US rises by 230% from 2013-14 - News-Medical
More people are likely vaping, and with greater frequency, in the US since 2013-14, suggests a data analysis published online in the journal Tobacco Control. The proportion of those vaping daily rose by 230%, while vaping among those aged under 21 quadrupled between 2013-14 and 2022-23, the analysis indicates.
