Swedish researchers at Chalmers University of Technology developed an AI model, named Lymphoma Artificial Reader System (LARS), that detects lymphatic cancer with 90% accuracy. This deep learning system, trained on over 17,000 images from more than 5,000 patients, assists radiologists by analyzing images from positron emission tomography to identify visual signs of cancer.

Stroke experts to test emerging nerve stimulation treatment
A new stroke therapy that delivers electrical pulses to the brain via a portable device will be tested in a pioneering trial to improve arm recovery after stroke. Led by researchers from Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Sheffield, this trial aims to determine if transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation can enhance hand and arm strength during rehabilitation therapy for stroke survivors.
