AI medical technology is maturing but there is still a lack of legislation

According to data released by the National Cancer Registry of the OFweek Medical News, cancer has become the leading cause of death in China, and morbidity and mortality are still rising. Cancer has become a very important public health problem. Among them, lung cancer is the tumor with the highest incidence rate, and it is also the leading cause of cancer death. While air pollution has become a hot topic in the whole society, the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer has also received great attention. Pulmonary nodules are a very important part of the diagnosis of early lung cancer.

Sarcoidosis is a more common systemic disease with an unknown cause. Pulmonary nodules refer to round lesions with a diameter of ≤3 cm in the lung by medical imaging. Under normal circumstances, the nodules are mostly benign, and 95% of malignant nodules will gradually develop into lung cancer. If they can be detected and diagnosed in advance, the patients can basically recover after reasonable treatment, and the recurrence rate is extremely low.

Although the cause of the nodule is still unclear, it is not difficult to find a nodule in today's increasingly developed medical technology. CR/DR slices of pulmonary nodules (digital radiographic processing), the detection rate reached 6%-10%. If a more advanced multi-slice spiral CT scan is used, about 40 out of 100 people can detect 1-6 nodules in the lungs. In this case, how to quickly and accurately determine whether the nodule of the patient's lungs is benign or malignant is very important. Due to insufficient understanding of the imaging manifestations and pathological features of sarcoidosis, especially for atypical patients, it is easy to cause misdiagnosis.

医疗人工智能困局:技术日趋成熟,但还缺乏立法

Zhang Xun, president of the Thoracic Surgeon Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, director of the thoracic surgery department of the Tianjin Chest Hospital, and Zhang Xun, who has decades of experience in thoracic surgery, told reporters in an interview that the nature of the lung nodules in the past diagnosis process The judgment often needs to be carried out by experienced experts. The shape of the pulmonary nodules is diverse, the density and shape of the distribution are burrs or smooth, and the specific location will affect the doctor's judgment on the nature of the nodules. Experienced physicians have a diagnosis rate of more than 90% for malignant nodules, and physicians who lack relevant experience often do not.

The problem of imbalance in the distribution of medical resources has been plaguing China. Although it is difficult to see a doctor and the problem of expensive medical treatment has been greatly alleviated than in the past, there is still a problem of "the people of the whole country agree." China has a vast territory and a large population. Problems that cannot be solved by grassroots hospitals often require medical treatment in the top three hospitals in big cities. The diagnosis of pulmonary nodules is time-consuming and laborious, leaving patients and doctors in a difficult situation.

Today, with the rapid development of technology, technology can greatly smooth the gap between cognition and experience, especially in medical image analysis.

On March 29th, Ali demonstrated the practical application of the intelligent diagnosis system for ultrasound thyroid nodules based on Alibaba Cloud service at the Shenzhen Summit of Yunqi Conference. The system uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to increase the accuracy of thyroid nodule diagnosis from 60% to 70% to 85%. At the meeting, He Jianxing, dean of the First Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College, said, “Our diagnosis requires the assistance of artificial intelligence, which makes the examination more confident and reduces the rate of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.”

Natural Sweetener

Natural sweeteners refer to food additives that can sweeten soft drinks. They can be divided into natural sweeteners and synthetic sweeteners according to their sources.

Natural sweeteners are substitutes for sugar. Natural sweeteners considered to be generally safe include stevia, licorice, disodium glycyrrhizinate, tripotassium glycyrrhizinate and trisodium. Natural sweeteners have many uses in the home and in processed foods.

Natural non-nutritive sweeteners are increasingly paid attention to, is the development trend of sweeteners, WHO pointed out that diabetes patients have reached more than 50 million, more than a quarter of the American people require low-calorie food. In sucrose substitutes, the United States mainly uses aspartame, up to more than 90%, Japan mainly uses stevia glycoside, and Europeans are more interested in AK sugar (acesulfames). All three non-nutritive sweeteners are available in China.
