    Retinal OCT measurements may Predict future cognitive impairment

    Retinal OCT measurements may Predict future cognitive impairment

    by

    Researchers have found in a retrospective study after examining 50,000 optical coherence tomography (OCT) images from a large database that thicknesses of several different retinal layers were significantly associated with Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease polygenic risk scores. Further higher baseline thickness of two specific retinal layers was also significantly associated with poorer clinical cognitive […] More

    High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T levels and dyspnea predict greater mortality risk in among patients seeking ED care

    High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T levels and dyspnea predict greater mortality risk in among patients seeking ED care

    by

    Sweden: According to a study published in BMC Emergency Medicine, researchers from the Department of Emergency and Internal Medicine, Skåne University Hospital, have shown higher high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) is tied significantly to higher 3-month mortality. They also mentioned that those with higher hs-cTnT levels were older with more comorbidities, severe symptoms, more hospitalizations, […] More

    Simple blood test can accurately predict neuroendocrine tumor response to radiopharmaceutical therapy

    Simple blood test can accurately predict neuroendocrine tumor response to radiopharmaceutical therapy

    by

    While biomarkers have been used to predict the outcomes of treatments for breast, prostate, and other cancers, there are currently no objective means to predict the efficacy of radiopharmaceutical therapy for neuroendocrine tumors. A simple blood draw can provide physicians with valuable information that can determine if peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is likely to […] More
