Researchers build AI that can predict breast cancer

One of the biggest challenges with breast cancer is the delayed diagnosis. To help doctors identify at-risk patients early, researchers are taking the help of artificial intelligence.

Researchers have built a new deep learning model that can predict from a mammogram if a patient is likely to develop breast cancer in the future. As their official release explains, the system has been trained on mammograms and known outcomes from over 60,000 patients to learn the subtle patterns in breast tissue.

The Ai was able to accurately access 31 % of all cancer patients in its highest-risk compared to 18% by traditional models. Systems like these could help doctors in  early diagnosis, much before the disease actually develops.

Natural Remedies to Get Rid of the Hiccups

We all know how frustrating it can be to get a bad case of the hiccups. A hiccup is an involuntary contraction of the diaphragm. Once the contraction occurs, it causes an intake of breath that is suddenly stopped by the vocal cords closing off. The closure of the vocal cords then produces a "hic" type of sound. 

Hiccups can last anywhere from a couple of minutes to a few hours. They can be stopped by using natural home remedies to increase the level of carbon dioxide in the blood. Hiccups lasting over 48 hours are called persistent hiccups. If they have not gone away in that time period, please consult your family physician.

What Causes Hiccups:

• Eating a lot too quickly
  
• Drinking a hot beverage immediately followed by a cold beverage
  
• Drinking too much alcohol
  
• Swallowing too much air
  
• Stress
  
• Smoking
  

Here Are 9 Home Remedies To Cure the Hiccups:

1) Eat a Little Peanut Butter - This delicious remedy involves a large tablespoon of peanut butter. The slow digestion process of the peanut butter disrupts your swallowing and breathing patterns, which eliminates the hiccups. Besides, what other excuse do you need to eat a spoonful of peanut butter!  

 

2) Have a Teaspoon of Honey - Honey can cure almost anything, including hiccups! A teaspoon of honey is all it takes to get rid of those unwanted hiccups. Mix the teaspoon of honey in a glass of warm water, and allow it to slide onto the back of your tongue before swallowing. 

3) Swallow A Teaspoon of Sugar - Did you know that a spoonful of sugar can help fight off the hiccups? The grainy texture of the sugar can change nerve impulses on your tongue and help irritate the esophagus. The vagus nerve is then stimulated, and your hiccups are history! 

4) Swallow Something Sour - The sour acidity found in vinegar and pickle juice can also disrupt the esophagus, which puts an end to your hiccupping situation. Drink half a teaspoon of either vinegar or pickle juice every 10 seconds until the hiccups go away. Yes, this does sound rather unpleasant, but it works. 

 

5) Try a Little Hot Sauce - Hot sauce helps by distracting you from hiccupping. The hot spicy flavor burns inside your mouth and digestive tract long enough to help you forget about that terrible hiccupping situation. You don't have to reach for the ultra hot Tabasco sauce, the mild stuff will do just as well. 

  

6) Powdered Chocolate Can Help - A delicious teaspoon of powdered cocoa mix can work wonders for your hiccups. Take a spoonful of powdered cocoa or Ovaltine mix, and swallow it right away. The difficult swallowing process of the cocoa can help put an end to the hiccups. 

 

7) The Paper Towel Method - Put a single layer of a paper towel over the top of a glass, and then drink through the towel. A napkin may be used as an alternative. The paper towel forces your diaphragm to work harder in order to drink the water. The hiccups should disappear after that. 

 

8) Chew On Some Dill - This hiccup cure goes back a long way. Chewing on a teaspoon of dill seeds helps to stimulate the vagus nerve, which should put an end to your hiccupping nightmare once and for all! Dill seeds can also be mixed with tea as an alternative to stop the hiccups. 

 

9) The Brown Paper Bag Method - Paper bags are used to prevent hyperventilating, and help cure the hiccups. Breathing slowly and deeply into a small paper bag increases the carbon dioxide level in the blood. This process allows the diaphragm to contract deeper to bring more oxygen in. The hiccups should end after a few deep breaths.

Decorative ceramics wares in your homes may raise cancer risk

Love to decorate your homes with ceramics wares and glass painting? Beware, they may contain high levels of cadmium that can raise the risk of cancer, warns researchers.

Cadmium is commonly used to give products a bright red, orange or yellow pigment, but over time the decoration on glass can start to flake and the glaze on ceramics fail, ingestion of which can potentially raise risks to human health as well as the environment. 

The findings showed that cadmium was also found in everyday household products like second-hand plastic toys, drinking glasses, alcoholic beverage bottles. 

The surfaces of these common items were covered by cadmium more than the recommended levels which is said to be ranging from 50 to 800 parts per million (ppm).

The highest readings of up to 70,000 ppm were recorded on the enamels of old and new drinking glasses and bottles, with cadmium detected in about 70 per cent of the 197 logos, patterns, text, pictures and cartoons tested on 72 products, the researchers revealed in the paper published recently.

"If you asked most people about cadmium, they would probably know very little about it. But it is listed among the World Health Organisation's 10 chemicals of major public health concern, alongside substances such as lead and asbestos," said a Prof.

"The health risk depends on how easily the cadmium can flake off or leach out. Additional tests performed indicate that this is greatest for enamelled glassware," said the Prof.

In addition, cadmium was found in new ceramic items such as mugs, plates and bowls, with the highest recorded level of 40,000 ppm, and in old plastic products including toys, with a maximum 35,000 ppm in a decorative brooch.
