USF professor: Statin use not justified for healthy people with high cholesterol
New research from David Diamond, a neuroscientist and cardiovascular disease researcher in the Department of Psychology at the University of South Florida showed LDL alone has “a very weak association” with heart disease and stroke. Their review went further, showing that when people with high LDL and optimal triglycerides and HDL were given a statin, there was no benefit.
USF Health, Weill Cornell Medicine earn inaugural funding in NIH’s newly launched Bridge2AI initiative, will create artificial intelligence platform for using voice to diagnose disease
As one of four data generation projects funded by NIH’s Bridge2AI, this multi-institution project – co-led by the University of South Florida and Weill Cornell Medicine – will bring together medical, voice, AI, engineering, and ethics experts to create a human voice database using privacy-preserving AI, giving doctors a new tool for diagnosing conditions known to have associations with voice alterations.
