A Bayesian approach that selects the most informative frames for manual labeling could speed up real-time heart MRI analysis.

Decisions about the HPV vaccine among adolescents and their families are influenced by a web of social, cultural and trust-related factors, beyond simple awareness or access, a Cochrane review finds.

The link between highly processed modern-day diets and inflammation-related chronic diseases (e.g., cancer, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, poor mental health) has been well-established. But what other factors influence the systemic inflammation and rising rates of chronic diseases experienced by industrialized nations?

USC researchers* recently reviewed the existing literature on diet-induced inflammation, climate change, and food systems – finding numerous scientific papers focusing on each of these areas but very few that looked at their overlap. With nutrition epidemiologist and inflammation expert James Hébert taking the lead, the team examined the intersection of these three factors – along with their collective impacts on health – publishing their insights in Advances in Nutrition.

As USC leadership and expertise in advancing brain health and healthy aging grows ever stronger, a recent scholarly paper perfectly exemplifies why South Carolina’s flagship university is excelling in these efforts. Led by health promotion, education, and behavior (HPEB) professor Daniela Friedman, 26 researchers representing 16 departments came together to integrate their knowledge and insights related to Alzheimer’s disease research in the Palmetto State. They published their collective perspectives in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease Reports.
