Designing face shields to protect medical staff
Montreal medical specialists and 3D printing company team up to find solutions for critical supply shortages
听
The COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented need to provide personal protective equipment (PPE) for hospital staff. A team of Montreal medical experts has partnered with a 3D printing company to design and distribute face shields to protect healthcare workers as they treat patients with this life-threatening disease.

Using a cappella to explain speech and music specialization
Study suggests humans have developed complementary neural systems in each hemisphere for auditory stimuli
Speech and music are two fundamentally human activities that are decoded in different brain hemispheres. A new study used a unique approach to reveal why this specialization exists.
Bridging the gap between AI and the clinic
Open source app helps predict brain tumour malignancy and patient survival
The power of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine lies in its ability to find important statistical patterns in large datasets. A study published today is an important proof of concept for how AI can help doctors and brain tumour patients make better treatment decisions.
AI-analyzed blood test can predict the progression of neurodegenerative disease
New technique could be used to choose best therapies for patients and measure their effectiveness
Evaluating the effectiveness of therapies for neurodegenerative diseases is often difficult because each patient鈥檚 progression is different. A new study shows artificial intelligence (AI) analysis of blood samples can predict and explain disease progression, which could one day help doctors choose more appropriate and effective treatments for patients.
An exceptional donation to support autism research
Q1K: A collaborative undertaking involving 1,000听families to transform autism care
How much do obesity and addictions overlap?
Food can trigger overconsumption similar to alcohol and drugs, but it is not the whole story
A large analysis of personality studies has found that people with obesity behave somewhat like people with addictions to alcohol or drugs. But obesity is also a complex condition that cannot be fully explained by the addiction model.
Improving research with more effective antibodies
Scientists demonstrate flaws in protein detection tools, and outline a solution
A new study points to the need for better antibody validation, and outlines a process that other labs can use to make sure the antibodies they work with function properly.
Surgery simulators are key to assessment of trainees
AI and virtual reality can determine neurosurgeon expertise with 90% accuracy
Machine learning-guided virtual reality simulators can help neurosurgeons develop the skills they need before they step in the operating room, according to a new study.
Study finds Nunavik Inuit are genetically unique
Variants found in this population may predispose to brain aneurysm
A new study has found that an Inuit population in Canada鈥檚 Arctic are genetically distinct from any known group, and certain genetic variants are correlated with brain aneurysm.
