Early symptoms of frontotemporal dementia are often confused with symptoms occurring in psychiatric disorders. Researchers show that serum neurofilament levels can be used as a diagnostic tool to differentiate between these conditions.
Read moreStudy finds when verbal memory test cut-offs were tailored to patient sex, more female patients and fewer male patients were considered to have amnesic mild cognitive impairment. This could change the way aMCI diagnoses are determined and make it easier to catch the condition in its early stages.
Read moreResearchers have gained new insights into the pathogen that causes tuberculosis. The work provides the basis for a new approach in antibiotic therapy.
Read moreA clinical perspective article reviews various imaging manifestations of electronic nicotine delivery systems such as e-cigarettes, vape pens, and hookah tanks. Despite the lack of a standardized case definition for vaping-associated lung injury, the radiologist may be the first person to prompt the clinical team to ask about relevant exposures like hypersensitivity pneumonitis, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, acute eosinophilic pneumonia, organizing pneumonia, lipoid pneumonia, and giant cell interstitial pneumonia.
Read moreOn a map, submarine canyons seem identical to land canyons — so much so that researchers surmised they are shaped by the same physical laws. New research reveals distinct differences for the first time.
Read moreThe particles emitted from 3D printers can negatively impact indoor air quality and have the potential to harm respiratory health, according to a new study.
Read moreBy scanning whole brains of Alzheimer's model mice from an early age, researchers were able to precisely trace the terrible march of amyloid plaques from deep brain structures outward along specific circuits. They also showed that plaque density in a key region in humans scales with disease stage.
Read moreAdults who have lost teeth due to nontraumatic reasons may have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
Read moreResearchers have uncovered a key step in how the human body metabolizes sugar, which could lead to better treatment and prevention of heart disease, obesity and Type 2 diabetes.
Read moreIf you've never had a heart attack or stroke, you likely should not be taking aspirin to prevent them, according to new research. Researchers reviewed three large, randomized, placebo-controlled studies published in 2018 that showed the risk of major internal bleeding associated with taking an aspirin a day is higher than any preventative benefits.
