Researchers have developed an algorithm that can detect and identify different types of brain injuries. The team, from the University of Cambridge, Imperial College London and CONICET, have clinically validated and tested their method on large sets of CT scans and found that it was successfully able to detect, segment, quantify and differentiate different types of brain lesions. Their results, reported in The Lancet Digital Health, could be useful in large-scale research studies, for developing more personalised treatments for head injuries and, with further validation, could be useful in certain clinical scenarios, such as those where radiological expertise is at a premium. Head injury is a huge public health burden around the world and affects up to 60 million people each year. It is the leading cause of mortality in young adults.

I am roaming the ravaged streets of Los Angeles while Patrick Mahomes is in my ears; directing me to watch my back. Despite the best efforts of the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and the reigning NFL MVP, I am no match for the sniper sitting atop a nearby roof who takes me out in front of a police car. "I told you to watch out," Mahomes said. Thankfully I have a next time because Mahomes and I are playing "Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 'Operation Grand Heist,'" which was released this week. Mahomes was in Los Angeles to get a tour of Treyarch, a video game developer in Santa Monica, which developed the game and six other "Call of Duty" titles dating to "Call of Duty 2: Big Red One" in 2005.

When Jon was born prematurely at 26 weeks, he weighed around two pounds and had trouble breathing on his own. For two months he lived in an incubator and eventually grew into a healthy baby and toddler. At age four, he had two epileptic seizures. About a year later his parents began to notice that Jon couldn't remember things that happened in his daily life. He didn't recall watching TV or what happened at school or what book he read. Jon's IQ was normal, he could read and write, and did well at school.
