StateViewer, an AI tool, analyzes FDG-PET scans to classify nine types of dementia with 88% accuracy. Tested on over 3,600 scans, it helps clinicians diagnose dementia nearly twice as fast with three times the accuracy of traditional methods.

Researchers revealed that testing urine-based tumor DNA (utDNA) can help predict which bladder cancer patients are at higher risk for recurrence after treatment.

A portable diagnostic device that uses a beetle-inspired chemical reaction has shown improved detection of tuberculosis in individuals with HIV, according to a new study.

Patients with atrial fibrillation who have experienced a stroke would benefit greatly from earlier treatment than is currently recommended in UK guidelines, finds a new study led by UCL researchers.

Researchers at the Keck School of Medicine developed a tau PET imaging cut-point to identify early Alzheimer’s signs. The cut-point distinguished cognitive impairment in Hispanic and non-Hispanic white participants.

New research indicates that blood glucose levels one hour post-glucose load show a strong correlation with mortality.

A team discovered that patients with Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) have significantly lower levels of α-synuclein in their blood compared to healthy individuals. This finding could lead to a blood-based biomarker for early diagnosis.

A study found that 2.7% of women aged 70 had meningiomas, a tumor around the brain, compared to 1.8% of the overall cohort. These slow-growing tumors are often undetected and may require careful monitoring instead of immediate surgery.

Cell biologists have made a significant advance, uncovering the key role of an enzyme in determining the physical structure and behaviour of cancer cells, including how they spread.

UC Davis researchers found that popular disposable e-cigarettes emit high levels of metals like lead, nickel and chromium, with some levels exceeding safety thresholds. The study suggests that these metals leach from the heating elements.
