AI can analyse retinal images for cardiovascular risk: Researchers

An international team of researchers on Friday said that by leveraging AI to analyse retinal images for cardiovascular risk assessment, they aim to bridge a crucial gap in early disease detection. A recent position paper in the Asia-Pacific Journal of Ophthalmology explores the transformative potential of AI in ophthalmology. The work represents a collaboration among researchers from Penn Engineering, Penn Medicine, the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center, St John Eye Hospital in Jerusalem, and Gyeongsang National University College of Medicine in Korea. With fundus photography enabling the visualisation of retina at the back of the eye, the potential of AI in providing systemic disease biomarkers is becoming a reality. When fundus images are of sufficient quantity and quality, ...

Photo: 123RF WARNING: This story contains graphic content that some readers may find upsetting.

Toilet queues disproportionately impact women: What Australians plans to do about unfair loo queues

By Sarah McLean, ABC Not enough loos? It's a problem worth solving, Australia's Building Codes authority says, and it could deliver health and economic benefits as well as pluses for comfort and equity. Photo: Unsplash/ Jonathan Taylor New analysis shows women are 34 times more likely than men to be queued for bathrooms A researcher says there often are not enough cubicles for women to use In Australia, the Australian Building Codes Board wants to reduce the problem by imposing revised standards that would increase the minimum number of cubicles in women's bathrooms in some new buildings, including theatres and cinemas. A slow and painful crawl towards the bathroom in an endless queue is a situation most women would rather avoid. But for theatre entertainer Libby Trainor Parker, it...

Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 – engineered to take the rough with the smooth

Royal Enfield pulled off quite a coup when it launched its Himalayan 411 in 2016; oozing with rugged adventure vibes, it found a genuinely enthusiastic following and was a sales success.It wasn’t perfect of course. It was a little crude in places and certainly not fast, but it was fun, capable enough off-road and could be fitted with bespoke alloy panniers for long trips, even if it wasn’t a great motorway cruiser.Now it’s been overhauled from the ground up; engine, suspension and frame have all been redesigned, with the team learning from the old model. It’s a refined gem now and makes quite a visual impression - especially when decked out in the fancy ‘Kamet White’ paint job (five colours are available) and with a full suite of luggage.In place of the air-cooled 411 single making 24.5 bh...

Photo: AFP/ Jason Kempin Country star Garth Brooks has denied rape accusations against him as he returned to his Las Vegas concert residency in the wake of a sexual misconduct lawsuit filed against him. In a statement to People magazine, the 62-year-old dismissed the allegations, in which a former employee accuses Brooks of rape and repeated unwanted sexual advances, including exposing himself and groping. "I have been hassled to no end with threats, lies, and tragic tales of what my future would be if I did not write a check for many millions of dollars," Brooks said, adding his team had filed suit against the woman for extortion and defamation.

The building report showed a problem – what do I do? – Ask Susan

Photo: RNZ Send your questions to susan.edmunds@rnz.co.nz I'm currently in the process of buying my first house. The building report has shown some problems with the house that need to be fixed - like a hole in the roof - but it's not enough to make me want to pull out of the purchase. Can I ask the seller to cut the price? Assuming your offer was conditional on a building report, you can use an unsatisfactory one as a reason for pulling out of the purchase. But there are options, if that's not what you want to do. You could ask your lawyer to negotiate with the seller's lawyer to have the repairs done for you before you buy the house, or you could ask for a price reduction. You'll need to be willing to show them the report. There is no obligation on the vendor to do either, but it's wo...

Five Czech kids in hospital over TikTok ‘piercing challenge’

Photo: CFOTO / NurPhoto via AFP A Prague hospital said Friday it was treating five children who had swallowed magnets following a "piercing challenge" they had found on TikTok. The children placed sphere-shaped magnets at the tip of their tongues to imitate piercing and then swallowed them by accident, the Prague-Motol hospital said in a statement. "One patient was lucky enough to excrete the magnets easily, but other patients remain in hospital and two are likely to undergo acute surgeries today," added the hospital in the Czech capital. The hospital said patients who swallowed several magnets or a magnet and a metal object ran the risk of the objects connecting inside the body. "They may pull the stomach and the intestine towards each other and damage them or even cause perforation or ...
