Research discovered a unique and promising avenue for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD) earlier -- by analyzing AD biomarkers in blood -- so that the impacts of dementia can be reduced. The researchers applied inorganic analytical geochemistry techniques, originally developed for cosmochemistry -- for example, to study the formation and evolution of the Earth, the Moon, other planets and asteroid samples -- and adapted these highly sensitive techniques to search for early biomarkers of AD in h

Current MRI definitions of knee osteoarthritis aren't necessarily adequate for identifying which knees will develop disease in the future, researchers have found. A team led by Alison Chang of Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago reported that baseline MR imaging showed structural joint changes that did not appear on x-ray imaging -- the go-to modality for detecting the condition -- but the modality's ability to predict whether the disease would progress wasn't strong.

About 40% of us will be diagnosed with cancer in our lifetime, and patients are getting younger. At the same time, the cost of treatment continues to rise, with employers spending 8.5% more on cancer care for each employee than they did last year. The best thing employers can do for their employees and business tomorrow is to invest in cancer detection and care today.
