Researchers designed a model that used machine learning to predict recurrent exacerbations among adults with asthma by analyzing real-world data, according to a letter published in Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.The heterogeneity in the results may indicate different pathologic drivers in specific patient groups, Ji-Hyang Lee, MD, PhD, department of allergy and clinical immunology,
Type-II Dirac semimetals are quantum materials with unique energy level structures, such as a bulk Dirac point (BDP). However, these semimetals are unsuitable for real-life applications because their BDP is far off the "Fermi energy level." Nickel ditelluride (NiTe2), a newly reported type-II Dirac semimetal has a BDP slightly above the Fermi level. Now, researchers…
