Lifespan Pancreas Morphology for Control vs Type 2 Diabetes using AI on Largescale Clinical Imaging
Purpose: Understanding how the pancreas changes is critical for detecting deviations in type 2 diabetes and other pancreatic disease. We measure pancreas size and shape using morphological measurements from ages 0 to 90. Our goals are to 1) identify reliable clinical imaging modalities for AI-based pancreas measurement, 2) establish normative morphological aging trends, and 3) detect potential deviations in type 2 diabetes. Approach: We analyzed a clinically acquired dataset of 2533 patients …

New blood micro-sampling method may enable early prevention of type 1 diabetes
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and SciLifeLab have developed a new method for detecting early signs that the disease type 1 diabetes is going to develop. The study, conducted in an experimental model, shows that analyzing tiny amounts of blood can reveal disease-causing changes in the body, thereby enabling early treatment and disease prevention. The results have been published in the journal Diabetologia.

Casual Viewing | Will Tavlin
A decade before Airbnb persuaded homeowners to transform their homes into hotels, Netflix convinced its users to turn theirs into mini Netflix warehouses. Customers who held onto their DVDs for longer meant fewer shipping costs for Netflix, and fewer DVDs for the company to manage and store. Netflix tracked heavy users of its service — labeling them internally as “pigs” — and secretly throttled their deliveries. It didn’t matter if Netflix rented fewer DVDs than Blockbuster, b…
