San Francisco, Calif. – University of California San Francisco scientists have found a way to predict Alzheimer’s Disease up to seven years before symptoms appear by analyzing patient records with machine learning. The conditions that most influenced prediction of Alzheimer’s were high cholesterol and, for women, the bone-weakening disease osteoporosis....
The slightest touch of a butterfly’s wing can cause significant long-term damage. For many with a rare skin disease called epidermolysis bullosa, their skin carries a similar fate. Holding a newborn to console its cries. Taking a child by the hands and swinging it around. Sliding down a waterslide on...
BRONX NY — Neurologists often diagnose Alzheimer’s disease after evaluating patients during lengthy, in-person office visits. This poses a significant challenge for many groups, particularly people with limited access to specialized care, including people from historically marginalized groups and people living in rural areas. Albert Einstein College of Medicine has...
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – Of the 46 cancer drugs that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted accelerated approval between 2013-2017, 63% were converted to regular approval even though only 43% demonstrated a clinical benefit in confirmatory trials after more than five years of follow-up, according to a study...
Bethesda, Maryland – The American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) has released a new clinical guideline on the pharmacological management of moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis, published today in Gastroenterology.
