New biomarkers offer hope for early detection and prevention of Alzheimer's

The failure to diagnose Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia in the elderly, at an early stage of molecular pathology is considered a major reason why treatments fail in clinical trials. Previous research to molecularly diagnose Alzheimer's disease yielded "A/T/N" central biomarkers based on the measurements of proteins, β-amyloid ("A") and tau ("T"), and "N" encompassing neurodegeneration. A/T/N can be measured in brain tissue, by in vivo brain imaging techniques, and by analysis of cerebrospinal fluid and plasma.

New machine learning approach boosts precision of cardiovascular risk assessments

Risk calculators are used to evaluate disease risk for millions of patients, making their accuracy crucial. But when national models are adapted for local populations, they often deteriorate, losing accuracy and interpretability.

Electrolyte abnormalities in eating disorders associated with higher risk of death from any cause

A new study published in The Lancet Psychiatry found that 32% of individuals with an eating disorder had abnormal electrolyte levels, which were associated with a higher risk of death from any cause.

Clinical trial finds pomalidomide effective for treating rare bleeding disorder

A clinical trial supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) was stopped early after researchers found sufficient evidence that a drug used to treat bone marrow cancer and Kaposi sarcoma is safe and effective in treating hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), a rare bleeding disorder that affects 1 in 5,000 people worldwide.

Updated Nutri-Score system reveals stronger links between poor diet and cardiovascular disease risk

A large European study finds that consuming foods with lower nutritional quality, as graded by the updated Nutri-Score, increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, particularly stroke and heart attack.

Extended estrogen suppression treatment found safe for postmenopausal breast cancer patients

New evidence shows that extended estrogen suppression treatment using an aromatase inhibitors for hormone receptor-positive postmenopausal breast cancer is safe; it does not increase the risk of coronary artery calcification, a sign of active coronary atherosclerosis, as some prior studies had indicated.

Study links metal exposure to increased risk of atherosclerosis

Metal exposure from environmental pollution is associated with increased calcium buildup in the coronary arteries at a level comparable to traditional risk factors like smoking and diabetes, according to a study published today in JACC, the flagship journal of the American College of Cardiology.

High altitude linked to increased congenital heart disease in women

The global prevalence of congenital heart disease is higher among women who live in high altitudes, according to a new study being presented at ACC Latin America 2024 in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.

Uncovering the link between pollutants and arrhythmia risk

Arrhythmias, a group of disorders that disrupt the normal rhythm of the heart, can lead to serious health complications such as heart failure, stroke, and sudden death.

Linking socioeconomic status and lifestyle to dementia risk

Researchers examine how socioeconomic status and healthy lifestyle factors interact to affect the risk of dementia.

New evidence connects ultra-processed foods to rising diabetes rates

Researchers determine how different degrees of food processing impact type 2 diabetes risk.

Genetic analysis challenges the idea that loneliness directly causes diseases

Research reveals that loneliness is linked to numerous diseases observationally, but genetic analysis shows it's likely a marker rather than a cause.

New system improves blood thinner safety

Doctors and pharmacists treating people with blood thinners can reduce the rate of inappropriate dosing - as well as blood clots and strokes that can result from it - using an electronic patient management system, a study suggests.

Research highlights the importance of capturing social risk factors in healthcare

First-of-its-kind research by Tarang Parekh, assistant professor of epidemiology, reviewed the State Innovation Models (SIM), a payment system introduced by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in 2013, which provides financial incentives to states to develop innovative payment models to improve healthcare systems.

Socioeconomic disparities in coronary artery disease deaths linked to unhealthy behaviors

Lower socioeconomic status is associated with higher rates of death from coronary artery disease compared to higher socioeconomic status, and more than half of the disparities can be explained by four unhealthy behaviors.

Moderate coffee consumption linked to lower risk of multiple cardiometabolic diseases

Consuming moderate amounts of coffee and caffeine regularly may offer a protective effect against developing multiple cardiometabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease and stroke, according to new research published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
