CeVD-related brain network phenotype can provide insights into cognitive decline trajectory

by

Researchers have uncovered novel insights into how brain function disruptions related to cerebrovascular disease (CeVD) interact with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology to impact neurodegeneration and cognition in older adults. Led by Associate Professor Juan Helen Zhou, Director of the Centre for Translational Magnetic Resonance Research, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore … Read more

Stanford researchers develop AI model to enhance cancer prognosis predictions

by

The melding of visual information (microscopic and X-ray images, CT and MRI scans, for example) with text (exam notes, communications between physicians of varying specialties) is a key component of cancer care. But while artificial intelligence helps doctors review images and home in on disease-associated anomalies like abnormally shaped cells, it’s been difficult to develop … Read more

Innovative scanning technique enables better lung function monitoring

by

A new method of scanning lungs is able to show the effects of treatment on lung function in real time and enable experts to see the functioning of transplanted lungs. This could enable medics to identify sooner any decline in lung function. The scan method has enabled the team, led by researchers at Newcastle University, … Read more

Dancing reduces depression symptoms in Parkinson’s patients

by

Dancing lowers the depression associated with Parkinson disease, and the benefits can be seen in multiple ways, a new study published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research involving York University researchers shows.  “It was very cool to see that dance had a positive effect on the mood circuits in the brain, which we could see in the imaging,” says … Read more
