Artificial intelligence already sees migraine as more than just a headache

Euronews Portugal4 September 2026 at 05:28

Researchers used artificial intelligence and genetic data from more than 43,000 people to identify biological patterns related to migraine. The goal is to transform how this neurological disease, one of the most common worldwide, is diagnosed and treated.

The researchers used machine learning algorithms to analyze the vast genetic dataset, looking for markers that may explain why some people suffer from migraines while others are not affected.

This approach represents a paradigm shift in how medicine views migraine, moving away from considering it merely as a simple headache to recognizing it as a complex neurological condition with specific biological foundations.

The results of this research could lead to the development of more accurate diagnoses and more effective treatments, tailored to the individual genetic characteristics of each patient.

They emit up to five times more CO2: study reveals that plug-in hybrid cars are more polluting than expected

A study conducted by the ICCT (International Council on Clean Transportation) revealed that plug-in hybrid cars emit up to five times more CO2 than expected. The investigation concluded that these vehicles are charged less frequently and driven in electric mode less assiduously than initial calculations predicted, resulting in significantly higher emissions than manufacturer estimates.

Man lives for nine months with pig kidney before human transplant

A man lived for nine months with a genetically modified pig kidney, avoiding dialysis during this period, in a historic feat that marks the first successful use of an animal organ as a temporary "bridge" for a human transplant. The pig kidney, which was genetically modified to reduce the risk of rejection, remained functional during the record time, allowing the patient to wait for a human kidney transplant in better health conditions.
