In order to efficiently pursue environmental conservation, it is important for organizations to understand and obtain efficient updates on projects. Especially with the ever changing speeds of society and the countless actions being taken to solve the issue, it has become increasingly difficult to keep track of all the media and updates concerning conservation. Previously, NEWSPANDA, a toolkit, has benefited those looking to extract and analyze important online media ...

The ocular disease Glaucoma affects around 3 million people in the United States, and serves as the second leading cause of blindness. The primary structure effect is known as the Trabecular Meshwork (TM), similar to an adaptive filter as its permeability alters depending on the pressure inside the eye. Aqueous humor flows through the TM, nourishing the surrounding tissues with glucose and oxygen. In patients with Glaucoma, overexpression of certain genes causes the TM to ...

In times of increasing political polarization, information tends to be less reliable. To counteract this trend, fact-checks have become more prevalent, verifying relevant claims made by politicians. Traditional fact-checking relies on human research and analysis, which may be less efficient than an automated method. Previous automated fact-checkers such as the SmBoP model attempted to directly translate a natural language query in the form of a question into SQL (Structured Query Language) ...

As of 2020, an estimated 236,511 women live with ovarian cancer in the United States. Given the high prevalence of genetic variants, multiple organizations, including ASCO, recommend universal genetic counseling and yearly testing. Nearly 1% of individuals have a hereditary cancer predisposition syndrome; however, most individuals with hereditary ovarian cancer syndrome are unaware of their underlying mutation, and racial and ethnic minority individuals, as well as patients of low ...

Bipolar disorder is a debilitating disease that affects roughly 3% of adolescents. The disease is characterized by chronic episodes or mania, followed by depressive episodes. While there is no cure, following a medication regimen along with a balanced lifestyle can help to minimize symptoms of the disorder. Exercise, drug use, nutrition, and sleep habits have shown to have a significant effect on bipolar patterns. Past research has found that the addition of exercise to one’s lifestyle ...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a public health problem worldwide, with dietary factors being the leading cause of CRC-related death. Growing evidence suggests that diet and nutrition promote tumor initiation and progression by altering stem cell metabolism. Therefore, identifying metabolic pathways that determine stem cell activity in CRC may offer a new category of therapeutic targets. Here, we propose to perform a retrospective analysis for single-cell RNA-seq data of 34 CRC ...

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on global health, with varying effects on different patient populations. While the primary impact of COVID-19 is on the respiratory system, it has also been associated with a range of complications in other organ systems, including the liver. Patients with pre-existing conditions, such as fatty liver disease, have been observed to experience more severe COVID-19 outcomes. However, these correlations are not yet fully understood, and the ...
