首款治疗产后抑郁的药物问世 | 一周看点

首款治疗产后抑郁的药物问世

 

美国FDA终于通过了史上第一款治疗产后抑郁的药。临床试验显示,这种抗抑郁药物起效快,与安慰剂相比,该药物可大幅改善中度和重度产后抑郁症患者的抑郁症状。

 

 

 

不过目前这款药用起来有点麻烦,目前它还有局限性。这种药需要在60多个小时里进行注射,在此期间,新产妇必须留在一家有执照的医疗中心,在医生的监督下接受治疗,因为她可能会像接受临床试验的几个病人那样有眩晕或昏厥的症状。

The first drug for women suffering postpartum depression received federal approval on Tuesday, a move likely to pave the way for a wave of treatments to address a debilitating condition that is the most common complication of pregnancy.

首款治疗女性产后抑郁的药物于周二获得联邦政府审批,这一举动可能会为一批治疗常见妊娠并发症等使人衰弱的疾病的药物审批铺平道路。

The drug works very quickly, within 48 hours - a significant improvement over currently available antidepressants, which can take two to four weeks to have an effect, if they work at all.

这种药可以在48小时内迅速见效,与当前可用的抗抑郁药相比,它的效果有明显改进。目前的抗抑郁药即使有点成效,可能也得二至四周见效。

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

人工智能能给人看病了

 

深度思考(DeepMind,谷歌旗下的人工智能企业)开发的一个算法可以像一些一流专家那样准确地进行眼部扫描检查,而且检查的速度比专家快得多。

 

 

 

外媒报道

An algorithm developed by DeepMind can assess eye scans far faster - and as accurately - as some leading experts.

这会是人工智能体系在健康领域取得的第一项突破,眼科医师皮尔斯•基恩说道。他与谷歌母公司阿尔法特(Alphabet)旗下的人工智能公司合作发起了这项研究。

Its set to be the first breakthrough AI system for health, says Pearse Keane, the ophthalmologist who initiated the collaboration with the artificial intelligence company, which is owned by Googles parent corporation Alphabet.

基恩还是伦敦大学学院的一名研究员,也是伦敦莫菲尔德眼科医院的一名医师。他表示,这套新系统可以规避专家严重短缺的问题,而且每年可以进行数百万次眼部扫描检查及诊断。

Popular British bookmaker William Hill has just revealed that the latest odds have been placed at 8-11 that Meghan and Prince Harry will be having a girl, due to a recent influx of betting activity. Ever since her baby shower, where an Instagram story showcasing the pink- and pastel-colored dessert spread made the rounds, it's been speculated that Meghan had let her friends know she was having a girl.

著名的英国William Hill博彩公司透露,最近博彩资金的流入形成的最新赔率是8-11—押梅根和哈里王子将迎来一个女儿。自从她的迎婴派对上,粉色及柔和色调的甜品铺成开来的照片在网络上流出,大家就猜测梅根意在让朋友们知道,她怀着的是个女孩。

Currently as it stands, we are 8-11 a girl, even money a boy, William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said. So, you know, the betting is suggesting there's a great, great chance that it's a girl.

“ 现在的状况是,女孩的赔率是8-11,男孩则是同额赌注,”英国William Hill博彩公司发言人鲁珀特•亚当斯说,“所以,你们看到了,这次押注显示出,是女孩的可能性很大很大。”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

苹果放弃AirPower无线充电项目

 

上月,据外媒报道,苹果公司正式放弃了万众瞩目的AirPower项目。

一直以来,苹果发布的产品都是高标准高质量的,此次取消AirPower也是因为最终的成果达不到苹果公司的高要求。

 

 

 

外媒报道

Earlier reports had said AirPower faced overheating problems, charging activation issues, and charging level accuracy problems.

此前有报道称AirPower面临诸多问题,如过热,充电激活以及充电数值准确性的问题。

Apple announced AirPower in September 2017 alongside the iPhone X and iPhone 8 series, both of which featured wireless charging. Apple said AirPower would ship that same year but it didnt. Then 2018 passed with no AirPower. 

Apple于2017年9月宣布与iPhone X和iPhone 8系列同时推出AirPower,这两款产品均采用无线充电方式。 苹果称AirPower将在同一年发货,但事实并非如此。 2018年苹果并没有推出AirPower。
