Researchers developed a machine learning tool that predicts cognitive frailty risk in older adults with significant precision. According to the study, this approach may help integrate simple, easily ...

A new study led by researchers at National Taiwan University (NTU) reveals that subtle differences in retinal thickness between the eyes—known as inter-eye retinal asymmetry—may serve as an early and ...
