- Scientists are working on making smart robots and AI systems that use less energy and cost less money, which can help us in the future.
- They are using a special type of computer hardware that mimics how our brains work to make these systems more efficient.
- In testing, these new designs saved a lot of energy, using 25 times less power and 940 times less energy for tasks compared to older technology.
Background: Coronary bypass surgery remains a cornerstone treatment for advanced coronary artery disease. Identifying reliable predictors of postoperative mortality can significantly enhance patient care and outcomes. This study investigates the prognostic value of preoperative and postoperative amylase levels, creatinine, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase as mortality markers in coronary bypass surgery patients.

- The study investigates the relationship between colonic diverticulosis and upper gastrointestinal histopathological changes, emphasizing the potential impact of low-fiber diets and gastrointestinal disorders.
- It included 184 patients, with 84 diagnosed with colonic diverticulosis, comparing their demographic and lab findings to a control group.
- Results showed higher levels of certain lab markers (such as white blood cells and glucose) in diverticulosis patients, suggesting a link with Helicobacter pylori, which may warrant attention in dyspeptic patients.
