New study reveals why defense against brain corrosion declines in people with Alzheimer’s disease

July 24, 2023

A new study by researchers at Case Western Reserve University revealed that the progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) can be slowed by suppressing a specific protein in the brain that causes corrosion.

New test shows promise for detecting hard-to-find cervical cancers
In findings with potentially important implications for cervical cancer screening, scientists at the Montefiore Einstein Cancer Center (MECC) have developed a test for detecting a type of cervical cancer that Pap tests often miss. The findings published online today in the JNCI: Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Use of common painkillers alongside hormonal contraception linked to heightened risk of blood clots
Women who use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory painkillers alongside hormonal contraception appear to be at a small increased risk of blood clots known as venous thromboembolism (VTE), finds a large Danish study published by The BMJ today.
High intake of several emulsifier E numbers linked to increased cardiovascular disease risk
High intake of several emulsifiers (part of the "E numbers" group of food additives), widely used in industrially processed foods to improve texture and extend shelf-life, is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), suggests a study published by The BMJ today.
New study spotlights radiation exposure from medical imaging for children with Down syndrome
Children with Down syndrome often undergo extensive medical tests, including imaging, that may use ionizing radiation. At the same time, genetic disorders like Down syndrome have an established increased risk of certain cancers, making exposure to radiation early in life less than ideal. Until recently, little research had been done to measure typical imaging radiation exposure rates for children with Down syndrome.
Q&A: Helping kids adjust to school
