The Fire and Disaster Management Agency will introduce an artificial intelligence-powered system to automatically transcribe emergency calls with the aim of streamlining record-keeping and easing the workload on staff amid rising ambulance dispatches. The Fire and Disaster Management Agency plans to launch a model project in fiscal 2027 to utilize artificial intelligence in the handling of 119 emergency calls for firefighting, rescue and ambulance services. The agency will introduce an AI-powered speech recognition system that automatically transcribes emergency calls with the aim of streamlining the process of recording call details and easing the burden on staff amid a growing number of ambulance dispatches. Related expenses will be included in the agency's fiscal 2027 budget request. The project will utilize so-called "vertical AI," which specializes in specific fields. The AI system will also be equipped with a function that advises staff on necessary actions according to the content of each call.

New findings shed light on what's making the parasite less treatable using the drug that's considered a first line of defense. The main drug that has been in use for decades to combat malaria in sub-Saharan Africa is running into a problem: In recent years, researchers have become increasingly concerned that parasites are becoming less sensitive to treatment. Identifying the underlying genetic factors has become an urgent priority. In an attempt to identify the reason for drug-resistant malaria, a team led by Brown University researchers conducted whole-genome analysis of 157 malaria parasite samples selected from specimens collected in Uganda between 2016 and 2024. The work, published in Nature Medicine this week, shows evidence that mutations in a gene that encodes a protein called px1, which had previously received little attention, is likely responsible for the rise in drug resistance.

The fatalities come amidst declining vaccination rates and calls from President Donald Trump to split up the MMR vaccine. Amid a 35-year high in US measles cases, two people in Pennsylvania have died after contracting the virus, the state's health department confirmed on Tuesday. They are the first measles-related deaths in the country this year. Both individuals were unvaccinated residents of Lancaster County in south-central Pennsylvania, which has a large Amish population. The health department said in a statement that it would not be releasing additional information about the individuals to protect their privacy.

When doctors can't figure out what's ailing us, they can search our bodies for snippets of genetic material from viruses, bacteria, and fungi. In 2019, Nichol Cano, an otherwise healthy mother of three in Fresno, California, began experiencing worsening headaches. She had no history of headaches; they had seemed to start after a liposuction surgery in Tijuana, Mexico. She saw her primary-care doctor and then a neurologist, who diagnosed her as having migraines. She was given a standard migraine treatment--an injection and a pill--but her pain only intensified.
