Scientists have long theorized about a network of pathways in the brain that are believed to clear metabolic proteins that would otherwise build up and potentially lead to Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. But they had never definitively revealed this network in people—until now.

MR imaging has revealed the brain's waste-clearing pathways (that is, perivascular spaces, or fluid-filled structures along arteries and veins) for the first time, investigators have reported. A team led by lead author Erin Yamamoto, MD, and senior author Juan Piantino, MD, both of Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in Portland found that "a well-functioning glymphatic system efficiently carries waste proteins toward veins exiting the brain.

The cost of healthcare continues to rise in 2024 across the United States. New technologies, rising coverage premiums, and talent shortages all contribute to the increasing cost of caring for and providing the right treatment to patients. While physicians and medical administrators are not directly responsible for many causes of soaring health costs, a collaborative approach with policymakers could help bring costs back under control.

For years, cancer researchers have noticed that more men than women get a lethal form of brain cancer called glioblastoma. They've also found that these tumors are often more aggressive in men. But pinpointing the characteristics that might help doctors forecast which tumors are likely to grow more quickly has proven elusive. University of Wisconsin–Madison researchers are turning to artificial intelligence to reveal those risk factors and how they differ between the sexes.
