| Atom-thick CCD could capture images Posted: 19 Dec 2014 01:06 PM PST An atomically thin material may lead to the thinnest-ever imaging platform. Synthetic two-dimensional materials based on metal chalcogenide compounds could be the basis for superthin devices.  |
| Technophobia may keep seniors from using apps to manage diabetes Posted: 19 Dec 2014 01:05 PM PST Despite showing interest in web or mobile apps to help manage their type 2 diabetes, only a small number of older adults actually use them, says a new study. Approximately 2.2 million Canadians are living with type 2 diabetes, 2 million of whom are age 50 or older. A study found that although more than 90 per cent of research participants owned a computer or had daily Internet access, just 18 per cent used applications on this technology to help manage their diabetes. While almost half owned smartphones, only 5 per cent used them to manage their disease.  |
| 'Deep learning' finds autism, cancer mutations in unexplored regions of genome Posted: 18 Dec 2014 11:10 AM PST Scientists have built a computer model that has uncovered disease-causing mutations in large regions of the genome that previously could not be explored. Their method seeks out mutations that cause changes in 'gene splicing,' and has revealed unexpected genetic determinants of autism, colon cancer and spinal muscular atrophy.  |
| First real-world trial of impact of patient-controlled access to electronic medical records Posted: 16 Dec 2014 08:30 AM PST The first real-world trial of the impact of patient-controlled access to electronic medical records has been conducted. Results, analysis, commentary, point and counterpoint are summarized in a new article.  |
