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.
UCSF researchers developed a program that translates the hundreds of EEG traces into a 3-D movie showing activity in all recorded locations in the brain. The result is a multicolored 3-D heat map that looks very much like a meteorologist’s hurricane weather map.
Researchers at UC San Francisco have successfully developed a “speech neuroprosthesis” that has enabled a man with severe paralysis to communicate in sentences, translating signals from his brain to the vocal tract directly into words that appear as text on a screen.
UCSF researchers have found a way to double doctors’ accuracy in detecting the vast majority of complex fetal heart defects in utero.
The partnership will allow the company and the University to develop technology that will enable a modern, more streamlined experience for patients and set a new standard for health care delivery.
For patients who can utilize the technology, particularly for follow-up care after a diagnosis has already been made, the benefits of telehealth are overwhelming.
Pioneering neural recordings in patients with Parkinson’s disease by UCSF scientists are providing the groundwork for personalized brain stimulation to treat Parkinson’s and other neurological disorders.
Scientists at UCSF’s Neuroscape brain research center have developed a first-of-its-kind virtual reality video game that can improve memory in healthy, older adults.
Depression is among the most common psychiatric disorders, affecting as many as 264 million people worldwide and leading to hundreds of thousands of deaths per year. But as many as 30 percent of patients do not respond to standard treatments such as medication or psychotherapy.
The device, which may be a better illness indicator than a thermometer, could lead to earlier isolation and testing, curbing the spread of infectious diseases.
UCSF scientists have developed a single clinical laboratory test capable of zeroing in on the microbial miscreant afflicting a patient in as little as six hours.
