Before she starts to break down what parents with sick newborns should look for in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), neonatologist Rachel Chapman, MD, says she first needs one key piece of information.鈥淚t depends on why you need a NICU,鈥� she says鈥攎eaning, how serious is your baby鈥檚 condition? Dr. Chapman is Medical Director of the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation Newborn and Infant Critical Care Unit (NICCU) at Children鈥檚 Hospital Los Angeles.
Kenneth Merz, PhD, of Cleveland Clinic's Center for Computational Life Sciences, and a research team are testing quantum computing鈥檚 abilities in chemistry through integrating machine learning and quantum circuits.
Chemistry is one of the areas where quantum computing shows the most potential because of the technology鈥檚 ability to predict an unlimited number of possible outcomes. To determine quantum computing's ability to perform complex chemical calculations, Dr. Merz and Hongni Jin, PhD, decided to test its ability to simulate proton affinity, a fundamental chemical process that is critical to life.
Dr. Merz and Dr. Jin focused on using machine learning applications on quantum hardware. This is a critical advantage over other quantum research which relies on simulators to mimic a quantum computer鈥檚 abilities. In this study, published in the Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation, the team was able to demonstrate the capabilities of quantum machine learning by creating a
Children exposed to higher levels of ozone in their first two years of life were significantly more likely to be diagnosed with asthma or wheezing at ages 4-6 鈥� but researchers didn鈥檛 observe the increased risk of asthma at ages 8-9.

Mayo Clinic is taking epilepsy research in a bold new direction, exploring treatment approaches to help patients living with the most severe and difficult-to-treat forms of epilepsy. About 50 million people worldwide are impacted by epilepsy. Approximately 30% of patients, or about 15 million people, suffer with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE).
Terbium-161 (Tb-161) is a radiolanthanide that shows promise for use in theranostic nuclear medicine. To obtain Tb-161 in a form amenable for medical use, the isotope must be separated from gadolinium, generally using DGA (N,N,N鈥�,N鈥�-tetra-n-octyldiglycolamide) and LN (Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate) resins.
The American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) invites members of the media to attend the 2025 AANS Annual Scientific Meeting, taking place April 25鈥�28, 2025, in Boston.
One of the latest neuromodulation therapies available at UTSW鈥檚 Peter O鈥橠onnell Jr. Brain Institute is transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). This therapy uses external magnets and coils to depolarize affected neurons, 鈥渞esetting鈥� the connected networks to restore normal function.
A multidisciplinary team of UT Southwestern Medical Center specialists, led by Nader Pouratian, M.D., Ph.D., and Peter Tsai, M.D., Ph.D., has received a grant worth up to $5 million from the Raynor Cerebellum Project to develop neuromodulation therapies for patients with cerebellar disorders of the brain.
A multicenter study led by Cedars-Sinai created a database of adverse medication events鈥攖he fourth leading cause of death in the United States and a medical issue costing more than $500 billion annually.
CF is a genetic disorder that causes problems with digestion and breathing. Currently, newborns in every state are screened for CF. However, great variation in practice and the genetic panels used con...
Cervical artery dissection is a tear in an artery in the neck that provides blood flow to the brain. Such a tear can result in blood clots that cause stroke. A new study has found almost a five-fold increase in the number of U.S. hospitalizations for cervical artery dissection over a 15-year period. The study is published on April 2, 2025, online in Neurology庐, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN).
