This artificial intelligence is able to detect Covid-19 by analyzing the sound of a cough

Building on previous work analyzing an individual’s voice to identify signs of Alzheimer’s disease, MIT researchers have designed an artificial intelligence capable of detecting Covid-19 from a simple cough. An innovative diagnostic method If the difference between the cough of a person with Covid and that of a healthy person is indistinguishable to the human …

17% of patients considered to have recovered from Covid-19 are still believed to be carriers of the virus

An Italian study found that a proportion of subjects considered to have recovered from Covid-19 still carried the virus. This prompted its authors to recommend that people recently recovered from the disease avoid close contact with those around them, wear a mask and undergo additional tests. A significant proportion of patients considered to be cured …

getting the flu shot may reduce your risk of infection

A new Dutch study suggests that getting a flu shot could help reduce the risk of contracting coronavirus infection, as well as that of serious complications from Covid-19. Statistical analysis suggesting lower risk of contracting Covid-19 New preliminary research by a team of immunologists from theRadboud University, to the Netherlands, suggest a possible cross-protection against …

Researchers have discovered how memories are formed through a molecular mechanism

A team of American scientists recently determined that the formation of new memories is governed by a molecular mechanism inducing structural changes in the genetic material of the neurons involved. Better understand the mechanisms involved in the formation of memories As part of this work published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, scientists from MIT have …
