AI并非冲着医生而来。它已然在场。

10 11 月, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - 随着医院转向人工智能，患者可能不再知道是谁——或者是什么——正在做出他们的医疗决定。作为急诊医生，我们看到了人工智能指导如何改变进入急诊室的意义。 这不是一个政策故事。这是一个文化故事：关于当“医生”可能是一个算法时，信任你的医生意味着什么。根据最近的一项研究，急诊科的人工智能应用已被用于分诊、风险预测和人员配置模型，这些计划帮助医院确保在正确的时间拥有正确数量和组合的医生、护士和其他工作人员来照顾病人。患者可能不知道治疗他们的人是医生还是人工智能辅助的混合体。这可能感觉无缝，也可能令人不安，取决于情况的利害关系。我们正在应对急诊室的一场悄然变革，在这里，成本压力、人员短缺和人工智能副驾驶正在重写看医生和信任医生的意义。 从医生转向人工智能不仅仅是一种人员配置解决方案，更是医疗决策制定方式上的一场巨大变革。每种方式都有其权衡。人工智能可以在几秒钟内处理大量数据，但它无法直视病人的眼睛识别恐惧，体会人类痛苦的安静时刻，也无法捕捉到握住痛苦之人手时所传递出的无声线索。我们成为急诊医生所接受的超过10,000小时医学培训的一部分，就是培养出一种直觉，即即使病人的生命体征和实验室检查结果看起来正常，也能察觉到不对劲。它能捕捉到微妙的线索——一丝困惑、病人言语中轻微的含糊、眼中无声的恐慌——这些病人可能不会提及，算法也无法察觉。人文因素，即信任和同情的核心，正是人工智能的短板所在。 科技公司正竞相通过创建数字化分诊系统、诊断副驾驶和决策支持工具，将人工智能整合到临床领域，旨在增强甚至取代医生的监督。医院也正迅速采纳它，被其降低成本和提高诊断准确性的承诺所吸引。在最近的一项研究中，人工智能的表现与非专业医生不相上下，这证明了算法在诊室中追赶人类临床医生的速度有多快。OpenAI、Google和Microsoft正在明确测试基于人工智能的医疗保健应用。其中一家公司Open Evidence AI正在构建一个人工智能驱动的工具，旨在为临床医生提供快速、基于证据的医疗问题答案，其估值已达35亿美元。 诚然，人工智能也有其大放异彩之处。它能够揭示即使是最有经验的临床医生也无法察觉的模式，将数月前的实验室结果与药物清单和一系列症状联系起来，在其他人发现之前标记出严重的感染风险。它能够查阅不常见的药物相互作用，支持决策，并加快文件处理速度，从而让医生有更多时间陪伴患者，减少职业倦怠。正确使用时，人工智能与其说是直觉的替代品，不如说是直觉的倍增器。 也许最重要的是，新情况是患者和医生现在都在使用人工智能，但方式不同。 几天前的一个晚上，一名年轻女子因胸痛来到急诊室。她的所有检查结果都正常，但她仍然显得很紧张。当我问她是否担心什么时，她承认自己在注意到几次心跳漏搏后，在ChatGPT上深入查询。聊天机器人告诉她，她可能患有：一种罕见且致命的心脏病。（她没有。）随之而来的恐慌很可能导致了她来急诊的症状。 另一位病人，一名年轻男子，坚信自己得了阑尾炎，因为ChatGPT告诉他就是这样。这一次，他是对的。他的症状是典型的，接诊的医学生也独立推断出同样的诊断。人工智能帮助患者更快地找到诊断并寻求治疗。然而，他仍然需要外科医生熟练的双手来切除他的阑尾。 这就是当下这个时代的悖论：同样的技术，既能引发困惑和恐惧，也能提升洞察力并加速医疗服务。它不仅改变了我们的诊断方式，也改变了患者的就诊方式以及谁来照护他们。成本、人员配置和技术已经模糊了人机护理之间的界限，开创了一种新型医疗：患者由临床医生治疗，而这些临床医生最有力的同事可能是一个算法。 问题不仅在于人工智能可能会误诊，还在于长期使用人工智能也可能损害临床医生的洞察力。在一次研究中，医生在使用人工智能工具后，发现结肠镜检查中发现可能癌变斑点的可能性降低了。作者推测，他们越依赖算法，就越少运用人类的判断力。 将人工智能或非医生临床医生整合到急诊室的这种转变本身并非坏事，但它对患者来说往往是不可见的。而这正是问题所在。 患者有权知道他们的护理何时由人工智能指导，谁最终对所做出的决定负责，以及当“房间里的医生”可能是一个算法时，存在哪些保障措施。 透明度不会阻挡技术发展的步伐，但它可能有助于保留医学界无法承受失去的东西：信任。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

In Energy, order intake increased by ¥674.5 billion YoY mainly due to continued strong demand in Gas Turbine Combined Cycle (GTCC). Contracts for 23 large frame gas turbine units—up 14 units YoY—were concluded during 1H, the majority of which were from customers in North America and Asia. Revenue increased by ¥38.8 billion YoY; the largest gains were seen in GTCC, which continued to execute its sizeable backlog. Segment business profit decreased by ¥22.4 billion YoY due to one-time charges in Steam Power, which offset strong performance in GTCC from both higher revenue and margins.In P&I, order intake decreased by ¥108.7 billion YoY due to the absence of large orders booked in the previous fiscal year in Metals Machinery and Machinery Systems. Revenue grew by ¥36.7 billion YoY. Improved margins in Metals Machinery and Machinery Systems helped to raise segment business profit by ¥16.4 billion YoY.In LT&D, revenue decreased by ¥21.4 billion YoY due to a decline in units sold in Turbochargers and Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC) and foreign exchange impact in HVAC. Steady performance in Engines on the back of strong demand in Asia, combined with the rebound from one-time charges associated with a supply chain disruption in Turbochargers during the previous fiscal year, resulted in a ¥1.3 billion YoY increase in segment business profit.In ADS, order intake decreased by ¥257.0 billion YoY due to a high base effect from large orders booked in Defense & Space during the previous fiscal year. Revenue increased by ¥107.1 billion YoY, mainly in Defense & Space, where steady progress in backlog execution continued. Increased revenue and higher margins in Defense & Space and Commercial Aviation served to increase segment business profit by ¥16.3 billion YoY.FY2025 Earnings ForecastMHI revised its guidance for the period ending March 31, 2026, increasing the forecasts for order intake and revenue over the previous announcement made on September 30, 2025, based on stronger-than-anticipated performance during 1H.

Nishio continued, "GTCC was our star performer in terms of order intake, booking 23 large frame gas turbine units across North America and Asia. We continue to see high demand for gas turbines particularly in the U.S., where new electricity demand from the data center buildout and other factors are driving capital expenditures at our utility customers. Revenue was up especially in GTCC and Defense & Space, which made excellent progress executing on their sizeable backlogs. Business profit growth was small, but the fact that we were able to beat last year's figure—despite one-time expenses recognized in Steam Power—reflects the high normalized margins we are achieving today in GTCC and some other businesses.""Based on our results through the first half," Nishio went on, "we have increased our order intake and revenue forecasts due to better-than-expected results in Energy Systems, mainly GTCC. We have maintained the business profit guidance announced on September 30, with continued strength from growing revenue and improving margins in other businesses compensating for one-time expenses in Energy Systems in excess of the initial 20-billion-yen risk buffer and weakness in the remainder of the Logistics, Thermal & Drive Systems segment. MHI's strong performance despite growing uncertainty in global markets is a testament to our resilience as a company, which has been made possible in part by our continued efforts to evolve our portfolio of businesses. We appreciate the continued support of our shareholders and other stakeholders as we work to meet our full-year commitments during the second half of the fiscal year."Attachment 1: 1H FY2025 Financial ResultsFinancial Results (465 KB)Attachment 2: Presentation Materials of Financial ResultsPresentation Materials (508 KB)Downloadable PDF of this press releasePress Release (164 KB)Forward Looking Statements:Forecasts regarding future performance outlined in these materials are based on judgments made in accordance with information available at the time they were prepared.

Focus Graphite Commences Hydrogeological Study Supporting Redesigned Tailings System to Eliminate Mine Drainage at Lac Knife ACN Newswire

Focus Graphite Commences Hydrogeological Study Supporting Redesigned Tailings System to Eliminate Mine Drainage at Lac Knife

10 11 月, 2025
One of the final studies required to complete the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) and advance toward mine permitting.Ottawa, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - November 10, 2025) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a leading Canadian graphite developer advancing high-grade projects in Quebec, is pleased to announce the commencement of a hydrogeological study (the "Study") at its wholly owned Lac Knife Project (the "Project").The Study will be executed by Yves Leblanc, P.Geo., of Richelieu Hydrogeologie Inc. ("RHI"), a Quebec based consulting firm specializing in groundwater management, mining and environmental hydrogeology, geothermal systems, and individual well design. RHI has supported Focus and the Lac Knife Project since 2019. The program will be carried out under the supervision and management of IOS Geosciences Inc. ("IOS"), the Company's geological consulting firm and general contractor for the Lac Knife Project.This Study represents one of the final major technical milestones in advancing the Company's Environmental and Social Impact Assessment ("ESIA") - a critical step toward the mine permitting phase for the Project. The hydrogeological program will characterize groundwater flows, aquifer properties, and potential interactions with Project infrastructure such as the open pit and tailings storage facility, ensuring responsible water management and full compliance with Quebec's regulatory standards.The Lac Knife deposit is located on a hillcrest between Knife Lake and Pecan River, both tributaries of the Moisie River, which is designated as a planned aquatic reserve. As such, the highest standards of aquifer protection must be applied. This Study aims to address concerns outlined in the second round of questions received in 2019 from Quebec's Ministry of Sustainable Development, Environment, and the Fight Against Climate Change ("MDDELCC") during its review of the Company's original Environmental and Social Impact Study submitted in 2014. As part of the 2021 Lac Knife FeasibilityStudy ("Feasibility") update, the Project's tailings storage facility was fully redesigned to incorporate nearby dolomitic marble, which will amend the tailings and eliminate the risk of acid mine drainage. This new design concept required a complete remodelling of the aquifer system. Results from the current hydrogeological modelling are expected by February 2026, aligning with the planned submission of the final ESIA revision.Focus continues to collaborate with IOS to finalize contracting for the remaining studies, including tailings dam breach analysis and dust dispersion modelling.“The launch of the hydrogeological study marks another important step toward permit readiness,” said Jason Latkowcer, Vice President, Corporate Development, Focus Graphite. “We are systematically closing out the final technical components of the ESIA — with hydrogeological modelling being the most time-sensitive — ensuring that every environmental and social consideration is addressed with scientific rigour. Our commitment remains to advance Lac Knife responsibly, in alignment with Indigenous and Quebec environmental standards and the growing global demand for ethically sourced graphite.”The Lac Knife Project hosts one of the highest-grade flake graphite deposits in the world, with measured and indicated resources grading 14.95% graphitic carbon (Cg). Once in production, Lac Knife is expected to supply high-purity graphite for defense, battery, and advanced materials markets, supporting Canada's Critical Minerals Strategy.On November 3, 2025 the Company announced that it had been selected by Natural Resources Canada ("NRCan") under the Global Partnership Initiatives ("GPI") for conditional approval for a non-repayable contribution of up to $14,062,500, pending final due diligence.Qualified PersonsThe technical content disclosed in this news release was reviewed and approved by Réjean Girard, P.Geo.

JFCR and NEC Confirm Research Results for Developing Individualized Neoantigen Cancer Vaccines Using Whole-Genome Data JCN Newswire

JFCR and NEC Confirm Research Results for Developing Individualized Neoantigen Cancer Vaccines Using Whole-Genome Data

10 11 月, 2025
TOKYO, Nov 7, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Japan Foundation of Cancer Research (JFCR) and NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) have confirmed research results supporting the development of a novel personalized neoantigen cancer vaccine using whole-genome data (*1). Analysis utilizing NEC's proprietary AI technology from breast cancer and soft tissue sarcoma has successfully enabled the prediction of numerous cancer-specific antigens (cryptic antigens, *2) originating from dark genomes—regions of the genome whose function and role remain largely unexplored—in addition to conventional neoantigens (*3). Developing vaccines using these antigens could potentially offer new treatment options for cancers that have been difficult to treat until now.Both organizations will present these findings at the annual meeting of the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC), held in National Harbor, Maryland, USA, from Wednesday, November 5 to Sunday, November 9, 2025.This joint research project will be carried out as part of the Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED)’s "Action Plan for Whole-Genome Analysis for Cancer and Rare/Intractable Diseases," within the research initiative on the "Demonstration of the Clinical Utility of Cancer Whole-Genome Analysis and Research on Establishing Systems for Patient Benefit".In recent years, personalized medicine—aiming for more effective and optimal treatments based on each patient's genomic information and gene expression profiles—has garnered significant attention. Among these approaches, immunotherapy using personalized cancer vaccines that target neoantigens specific to each patient's cancer cells is especially promising for practical application due to its potential for high therapeutic efficacy and reduced side effects. In Japan, efforts to promote research and drug discovery utilizing whole-genome analysis data are accelerating, as demonstrated by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's formulation of the "Action Plan for Whole Genome Analysis 2022" (*4). Against this backdrop, the Cancer Institute and NEC have been collaborating since 2024 on the development of a novel personalized neoantigen cancer vaccine utilizing whole-genome analysis data.The prevalence of neoantigens is known to vary across cancer types. In this study, the Cancer Institute and NEC analyzed whole-genome data from breast cancer and soft tissue sarcoma, which are considered to have relatively low neoantigen emergence rates, utilizing NEC's proprietary AI technology. This study sought to demonstrate that integration of whole genome data allows the identification of relevant immunogenic targets, even in patients with cancer associated with a low number of canonical antigens.The collaborative research successfully predicted the presence of numerous non-canonical antigens, in addition to previously known classes of antigen targets. Developing vaccines utilizing these findings is expected to open new therapeutic approaches for cancer types that have traditionally been considered difficult to treat with personalized neoantigen cancer vaccines."We are delighted to share the findings of our basic research aimed at developing next-generation personalized cancer vaccines. This work was conducted under an AMED research program based on the Action Plan for Whole-Genome Analysis 2022 (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare). By integrating whole-genome data with NEC’s proprietary AI technology, we have revealed the potential presence of diverse cancer-specific antigens, known as cryptic antigens, derived from the dark genome even in cancer types previously considered to have limited neoantigen expression. Moving forward, we will continue to evaluate the immunogenicity of these antigens and advance the development of personalized cancer vaccines to realize the next generation of cancer immunotherapy."Tetsuo Noda, M.D., Ph.D., Advisor, Atsushi Ohtsu, M.D., Ph.D., Research Director, Japanese Foundation for Cancer Research"We are pleased to share our research findings on cryptic antigens, developed in collaboration with JFCR.

Boost program, which is designed to fast-track tech development and adoption for promising startups.Indicio’s platform and specialized encryption technology addresses critical vulnerabilities in traditional, centralized identity systems, which are prone to data breaches, privacy violations and forgery.

Recognized by Gartner and Juniper Research firms as a market leader in Decentralized Identity, Indicio enables organizations to meet the growing demand for secure, privacy-preserving digital interactions and decentralized infrastructure."We are honored to join NEC X," said Heather Dahl, CEO of Indicio, "and to see our innovation in digital identity authentication and access management, biometrics, AI, seamless digital travel and border management recognized by such a technology leader as NEC X. We see decentralization and verifiable digital identity as the foundation for building the next era of the internet, and for scaling new digital markets and autonomous digital systems. The ability to instantly authenticate any entity and share trusted data securely and in a privacy-preserving way will be a tremendously powerful ‘algorithm’ that synergizes economic growth, business integration, and consumer trust. It will also be critical to successfully deploying autonomous systems that use AI."Being part of NEC X’s Elev X! program will inform, inspire, and above all, accelerate, our work in making this new, better, simpler and safer digital world a reality."NEC X's Elev X! Boost program provides startups with strategic funding, cutting-edge technology access and business resources to accelerate their growth. Indicio will leverage NEC X’s investment and NEC’s world-class biometric authentication technologies to develop new solutions for applications like trusted AI, streamlined travel and secure access management."Indicio’s vision for a user-controlled internet aligns perfectly with NEC X’s commitment to fostering disruptive technologies that solve fundamental global challenges," said Shintaro Matsumoto, CEO of NEC X. "Their leadership in decentralized identity is creating the foundational layer for a more trusted and secure digital future. We are excited to support their journey as they redefine the standards for digital interaction and data privacy."Indicio is already gaining significant market traction.

The company's technical excellence has also been recognized with multiple awards, including the EIC Award 2022 and selection as a finalist in the DHS Digital Design Challenge 2020.Indicio provides the technology and services for enterprises to build and deploy decentralized identity solutions across travel, finance, enterprise applications, education and more.

中国通才教育战略收购广州茼盟美术 开辟艺考培训新赛道​

9 11 月, 2025
香港, 2025年11月10日 - (亚太商訊) - 11月6日，香港上市公司中国通才教育集团（股票代码：2175.HK，以下简称"通才教育"）正式对外公告，将以3.12亿元人民币收购广州市茼盟美术教育咨询有限公司（以下简称"茼盟美术"）100%股权。据公告，收购完成后，茼盟美术将成为通才教育全资子公司，其财务数据也将并入通才教育合并报表。这一交易意味着，这家以山西为核心阵地的民办高等教育机构，正式进军增长迅猛的艺考培训市场，开启业务多元化战略新篇章。战略布局：从高等教育到艺考培训高增长赛道，开辟全新收入通才教育主要在山西经营民办高等教育，核心运营太原标杆民办本科学院，2023/2024学年以15.7%市场份额稳居当地民办高教在校生规模第一，既拥有扎实的高教业务根基，更具备上市企业的资本运作与品牌背书优势。而被收购的茼盟美术教育，是广东艺考培训领域的深耕者：14年美术艺考培训经验（前身为2007年创办的广州同盟画室）、2000余名在读学员、2.48万平方米独立教学园区，不仅是当地龙头企业，更精准卡位艺考核心赛道——其主营的美术类培训，占全国艺考培训市场份额38%（2023年数据），完全贴合当前艺考行业需求。艺考培训市场：前景广阔的新赛道艺考培训市场近年来驶入发展快车道，成为教育服务领域最具潜力的细分赛道之一。据共研产业研究院《2025-2031年中国艺考培训行业报告》预测，2025年我国艺考培训市场规模将精准突破700亿元，行业年复合增长率保持8%的稳健增速。这一市场不仅体量可观，更呈现"客户支付意愿强烈、高品质服务需求激增"的核心特征。政策层面，国家持续强化美育教育、推进艺考改革，推动行业规范化发展，头部机构市场集中度有望从2025年的18%提升至2030年的35%，为优质参与者开辟了更广阔的成长空间。协同效应：资源共享与全链条价值共赢此次收购，是精准把握行业机遇的战略布局，实现资源互补与价值倍增。一方面，通才教育可依托自身扎实的高教资源、上市企业的资本优势，与茼盟美术14年积累的艺考实训经验、2000余名学员基础及2.48万平方米教学园区深度融合，通过师资互通、教学方法共享，双向提升双方教学品质；另一方面，收购将推动通才教育品牌覆盖从山西核心市场，快速延伸至广东这一教育消费大省，辐射珠三角高净值客群，显著扩大品牌影响力与社会认可度。未来展望：多元化战略与长期价值通才教育将正式打通"高等教育+艺考培训"双业务脉络，进一步放大核心竞争力，不仅有效分散单一业务依赖风险，更能持续开拓新增长曲线。这一布局不仅将巩固通才教育在民办教育领域的综合实力，更将助力其精准把握美育政策深化、艺考市场规范化的行业新机遇，为全体股东创造稳定可持续的长期价值。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.
