One key treatment option for pancreatic cancer is the Whipple procedure, a complex surgery that removes the head of the pancreas. There are three approaches to this challenging surgery: open, laparoscopic and robotic.⁠ ⁠ Dr. Michael Kendrick, a hepatobiliary and pancreas surgeon at Mayo Clinic, says depending on the location and stage, patients may need to undergo extensive treatment before surgery. This makes the minimally invasive laparoscopic approach easier on the patient.⁠ ⁠ Learn more: https://mayocl.in/3Z9HjO4

Mayo Clinic researchers have developed new AI-based tools to pinpoint specific regions of the brain with seizure hotspots more quickly and accurately in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Their study highlights the potential of AI to revolutionize epilepsy treatment by interpreting brain waves during electrode implantation surgery. This transformative approach could significantly reduce the time patients spend in the hospital, accelerating the identification and removal of seizure-generating brain regions, according to the paper published in Nature Communications Medicine.

Electronic health records are increasingly including technology-aided predictions of how patients may respond to specific medications, known as pharmacogenomic alerts. Two Mayo Clinic Ph.D. candidates are exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to make these alerts more actionable and less intrusive for clinicians, who can suffer from alert overload.⁠ ⁠ In a new study, Ph.D. candidates Caroline Grant and Jean Marrero-Polanco, under the mentorship of lead author Arjun Athreya, Ph.D., found that clinicians generally prefer concise, individualized alerts that use patient-specific genomic data to help personalize their care, rather than more generic or detailed alerts.⁠ ⁠ Learn more: https://mayocl.in/490Esve
