BALTIMORE, MD, January 16, 2025 – Intensive care units (ICUs) face mounting pressure to effectively manage resources while delivering optimal patient care. Groundbreaking research published in the INFORMS journal Information Systems Research highlights how a novel artificial intelligence (AI) model is revolutionizing ICU care by not only improving predictions of patient length of stay, but also equipping clinicians with clear, evidence-based insights to guide critical decisions.
Cutting-edge chips, especially those designed to power emerging AI applications, tend to receive the most attention in the media and generate the most excitement. However, so-called “legacy” chips are just as important — if not more — to our daily lives.
January is National Blood Donor Month and, not coincidentally, a time when donations tend to ebb. Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood for serious injuries, childbirth, cancer treatments and more, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.

In North Carolina, counties with higher education levels tend to have the best COVID-19 vaccination rates. That means reaching people in counties with lower income, education rates and internet access could be crucial in the next phase of vaccination, experts say.
The government may no longer require North Carolinians to wear masks in public, but putting them on could help prevent thousands of coronavirus cases and deaths by the end of the year, according to researchers at three of the state’s universities.
The researchers have created a computer model that predicts coronavirus cases, hospitalizations and deaths under various scenarios. The variables include vaccination rates and effectiveness of the vaccines, as well as adherence to measures meant to prevent spread of the virus, such as closing schools and workplaces and wearing masks.
Experts say if the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us anything, it is that we need to plan and prepare more.
Back in March 2020, Japan and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) decided that delaying the 2020 Olympics was necessary, given the uncertainty and risks surrounding the SARS-CoV-2 virus and its then unknown impact on global public health. This decision was prudent, given the many unknowns at the time.
The University of Maryland Medical System is donating $4.6 million worth of personal protective equipment such as masks and gloves as well as generators and other goods to South Asian countries currently hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic.
