On a sunny Friday, teams of aspiring young scientists gathered in the Clinical Sciences building at Parnassus Heights to look for treasure in a trillion data points about cancer.
Tweens who spend more time on screens have a higher likelihood of developing disruptive behavior disorders, with social media having an especially strong influence, a new UCSF-led study found.
For 29 years, Rashetta Higgins was wracked by epileptic seizures. UCSF neurologists used a pioneering imaging technique to spot what was triggering them and then removed that region from her brain. Now Rashetta is living a seizure-free life.
In a recent study, UCSF researchers looked at the efficacy of hybrid and virtual delivery of cardiac rehabilitation (CR). They found that virtual and hybrid CR services produced similar improvements in patient function as in-person CR.
Using AI in ECG analysis improves diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a leading cause of sudden death in adolescents.
A natural language processing study parses doctor-patient communication at an unprecedented scale and offers new ways to help doctors communicate with their patients.
A recent UCSF study tested possible triggers of a common heart condition, including caffeine, sleep deprivation and sleeping on the left side, and found that only alcohol use was consistently associated with more episodes of heart arrhythmia.
UCSF and Siemens Healthineers create the first carbon-neutral radiology imaging service while improving access to and quality of radiological imaging for patients in Northern CA.
UCSF Health physicians have successfully treated a patient with severe depression by tapping into the specific brain circuit involved in depressive brain patterns and resetting them using the equivalent of a pacemaker for the brain.
The Kidney Project’s implantable bioartificial kidney, one that promises to free kidney disease patients from dialysis machines and transplant waiting lists, took another big step toward becoming reality, earning a $650,000 prize from KidneyX for its first-ever demonstration of a functional prototype of its implantable artificial kidney.
A single glass of wine can quickly raise the drinker’s risk for atrial fibrillation, according to new research by UCSF.
In a new study, an artificial intelligence algorithm exceeded the performance of a widely available commercial system in nearly all examined diagnoses.
Following groundbreaking work on a “speech neuroprosthesis” that enabled a paralyzed man to communicate using his brain signals, the lab team answered public questions about brain-computer interfaces and the limitations of translating brain signals into code.
