Indian researchers have decoded how H5N1 can jump to humans

Even as the bird flu virus H5N1 is evolving rapidly, with the potential to become a significant threat to human health, a team of Indian researchers using an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based model has decoded how the deadly virus can actually spillover to humans. In the study, published in the BMC Public Health journal, the team used BharatSim -- an ultra-large-scale agent-based simulation framework for infectious diseases that was originally built for Covid-19 modelling -- to describe the sequential stages of a zoonotic spillover. “We modelled the possibility of initial spillover events of H5N1 from birds to humans, followed by sustained human-to-human transmission,” said Philip Cherian and Gautam I. Menon from the Department of Physics at the Haryana-based Ashoka University, in the ...

A Look Inside ChatGPT’s New ‘App Store’

Earlier this year, OpenAI announced ChatGPT apps. Not the ChatGPT app, mind you: That's been out for more than a couple years now. ChatGPT apps, on the other hand, are programs that work within ChatGPT. You can access them in any given conversation with ChatGPT—in fact, they may appear based on the context of the conversation. These aren't necessarily apps that OpenAI builds itself, either; rather, you'll find options here based on apps you may use yourself. The initial batch of apps included with the feature's rollout included Booking.com, Canva, Coursera, Figma, Expedia, Spotify, and Zillow—big apps you've likely used before. While in a conversation with ChatGPT, you could ask the bot to help you book a flight to Paris via Expedia, find a particular listing through Zillow, or create a sl...

Most Canadians support oil and gas expansion, differ on priorities: Ipsos – National

New data suggests the majority of Canadians support efforts to expand oil and gas development, including expanding and building pipelines — but within that data, their support shifts when it comes to the specifics of how to do that, according to Ipsos polling. That finding comes as Prime Minister Mark Carney has been working to speed up the development of major projects, including new oil and gas projects in Canada amid the trade war, and after Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith reached a memorandum of understanding towards building an oil pipeline from Alberta to Canada’s West Coast.A newly released Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News asked 1,500 adult Canadians in December how they were feeling about Carney’s oil and gas pipeline plans amid the trade war.Eighty-three ...

Is high-fat cheese healthy for your brain? New study sheds light on risk factors

While cheese -- high in saturated fat and sodium -- is known to raise the risk of high cholesterol or blood pressure, a new study has linked it to a lower risk of developing dementia. The study, published in the journal Neurology, showed that some high-fat dairy products, such as cheddar, Brie, and Gouda, as well as whipping cream, double cream, and clotted cream, may actually lower the risk of dementia. The findings challenge some long-held assumptions about fat and brain health. However, researchers from Lund University, Sweden, clarified that “the study does not prove that eating high-fat cheese and high-fat cream lowers the risk of dementia, it only shows an association”. Researchers analysed data from 27,670 people in Sweden with an average age of 58 at the start of the study. The...
