AI Platform Reveals New Signatures of Parkinson’s Disease

Scientists have unveiled a new platform that can identify cellular signatures of illness by studying patient cells, using artificial intelligence (AI) methods for image analysis. Researchers at the New York Stem Cell Foundation Research Institute partnered with Google Research for the study, which involved the identification of new cellular characteristics of Parkinson’s disease through the creation and profiling of millions of skin cell images. These cells were obtained from a cohort of 91 patients and healthy individuals, who were the control group. Parkinson’s disease is a progressive brain disorder that impacts an individual’s movement. The disease’s symptoms usually begin gradually,…

Study Finds Malnutrition Linked to Decline in Kidney Function in Older Individuals

A new study has found that malnutrition is associated with chronic kidney disease, increased risk of kidney function decline and poor kidney function in older adults who don’t suffer from advanced kidney disease. Chronic kidney disease, which is sometimes referred to as chronic kidney failure, occurs when an individual’s kidneys gradually lose function and fail to filter blood as they should. Treatment for this disease is focused on slowing the progression of damage to the kidneys, which isn’t easy to do if the disease has already advanced to end-stage kidney failure. The study was conducted by researchers at the Cheeloo…

Research Emphasizes Importance of Screening for Unhealthy Consumption of Alcohol

New research has found that during primary care visits, screening for unhealthy consumption of alcohol by patients through the use of a validated questionnaire is rarely done. This is despite the current recommendations provided by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. Figures show that between 2014 and 2016, screening was performed during only about 3% of office visits. Brittany Charrerton, a research fellow in the Department of Internal Medicine, stated that primary care physicians were usually overwhelmed with many patient health concerns and sometimes performing screening for alcohol consumption of patients was forgotten. Data from the National Institute on Alcohol…

Study Links Excessive Napping to Increased Risk of Developing Alzheimer’s

New research has found that excessive napping in the daytime for older individuals may indicate a heightened risk of Alzheimer’s disease. The study, which involved a cohort of older individuals, was carried out by researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. The researchers discovered a link between cognitive aging and excessive napping in the daytime, noting that being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s accelerated the increase in daytime napping as an individual aged while excessive napping during the daytime forecasted an elevated future risk of Alzheimer’s. The study’s findings were reported in “Alzheimer’s and Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association.” Peng Li,…
