For people diagnosed with cardiovascular conditions such as heart disease or diabetes, it is often a motivator to get more physical exercise, which can improve long-term health. However, the rate of physical activity increase after diagnosis varies widely depending on the individual.</p> Tue, 21 Oct 2025 14:32:32 +0000 admin 4928 at /bic Human instruction with artificial intelligence guidance provided best results in neurosurgical training /bic/channels/news/human-instruction-artificial-intelligence-guidance-provided-best-results-neurosurgical-training-366256 <b>Study has implications beyond medical education, suggesting other fields could benefit from AI-enhanced training</b> <p> </p> <p>Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a powerful new tool in training and education, including in the field of neurosurgery.
