New Delhi, May 15 (Ians) A team of researchers has developed an AI-based approach to predict whether a person with Type 2 diabetes will develop kidney disease, a frequent and dangerous complication of diabetes.
The study by researchers from Sanford Burnham Prebys in the US and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, published in Nature Communications, could help doctors prevent or better manage kidney disease in people with type 2 diabetes.
“Our team has demonstrated that by combining clinical data with cutting-edge technology, it’s possible to develop computational models to help clinicians optimise the treatment of Type 2 diabetes to prevent kidney disease,” said Kevin Yip, a professor and director of Bioinformatics at Sanford Burnham Prebys.
The new algorithm depends on measurements of a process called DNA methylation, which occurs when subtle changes accumulate in our DNA.
DNA methylation can encode important information about which genes are being turned on and off, and...

New Delhi, Feb 24 (Ians) Gaurav Jain (name changed upon request) recovered from a mild Covid-19 attack around Divali and began a normal life after a short bout of weakness. Nearly three months later, Jain experienced some unusual symptoms like blurry vision, constant thirst and lethargy.
He checked his blood sugar at home and to his horror, the reading came above 400 mg/dL. Before Covid, his blood sugar levels were in the normal range.
Jain rushed to the nearby hospital and was given medications along with a warning to completely transform his lifestyle.
According to leading health experts, Jain is not alone as they are witnessing more Covid-recovered patients being diagnosed with diabetes and related complications.
"Corona infection can mess up with sugar levels of otherwise healthy and non-diabetic people. Those who recovered from the disease must get their glucose levels checked to avoid long-term complications," Dheeraj Kapoor, head of department...
