Diagnosing breast cancer
Peer-Reviewed Publication
University of Utah electrical and computer engineering assistant professor Benjamin Sanchez-Terrones is developing a diagnostic tool that uses safe, low-voltage electricity instead of radiation to detect breast cancer. The device therefore can be used repeatedly and on younger patients safely.

New Oregon State University research shows that warm-water habitats can be critically important for the survival of cold-water fish such as trout and salmon.
Durham University's Department of Computer Science will be the host to Intel's first UK- based oneAPI Academic Centre of Excellence. The centre will conduct research on task-based and GPU programming using oneAPI for heterogeneous architectures and will champion oneAPI training.
Which diet is better: moderately reduce meat consumption and eat more fruit, vegetables and wholegrain products, as recommended by the German Nutrition Society? Follow our southern neighbors' example and eat more fish and seafood? Or even switch completely to a vegan diet? A new study by the University of Bonn (Germany) shows that the answer to these questions is not as clear-cut as one might think - depending on which impacts one closely looks. The results are published in the journal Science of The Total Environment.
Brain signal recording with the Wyss Center for Bio and Neuroengineering’s subscalp Epios™ sensing electrodes (leads) is being carried out for the first time in patients at the University Hospital Bern, Inselspital. The clinical trial is the first step towards the validation of Epios, a minimally invasive, long-term brain monitoring system intended for people with drug resistant epilepsy. The trial will assess the feasibility, safety and recording ability of the electrodes and will test the tools developed to insert the leads based on required locations and patient specific anatomy.
From May 23 to August 13, 2021, the Institut Pasteur, in partnership with the French National Health Insurance Fund (CNAM), Santé publique France and the Ipsos institute, conducted the fourth part of the ComCor epidemiological study on circumstances and places of infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus in France. The aim of the study was to identify the socio-demographic factors, places visited and behaviors associated with a higher risk of infection with SARS-CoV-2. The study was also used to carry out a real-world analysis of the effect of previous infection with COVID-19 and the efficacy of messenger RNA vaccines against symptomatic infection with the Delta variant. The findings were published in The Lancet Regional Health Europe on November 26, 2021.
