Long-term, heritable changes in gene activity fundamentally shape our biology, trigger many of our diseases, and set the clock on how we age. Now, a team of U of U Health scientists is starting an ambitious project to map these changes across the entire human genome.
An AI-based analysis of over 2 million hospital visits has found that most pneumonia diagnoses made in the hospital will change from a patient’s entrance to their discharge; clinical notes on pneumonia diagnoses reflect similarly high uncertainty.
Early menopause significantly raises breast cancer risk, highlighting the need for proactive health screenings, according to research from Huntsman Cancer Institute and the Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine.
