A deep learning AI model was developed to estimate gestational age (GA) from blind ultrasonography sweeps and incorporated into a low-cost, battery-powered device, aiming to improve pregnancy care in low-resource settings. The study found that novice users, with no prior sonography training, could estimate GA with the AI tool as...

Determining the causes of schizophrenia has been a notoriously intractable problem, resistant to a multitude of investigative approaches over centuries.
