Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and the University of Pittsburgh have developed the first screening tool that can help predict whether elderly patients are at low, moderate or high risk of developing dementia. The new test takes into account characteristic risk factors for dementia, including advanced...
Detecting the earliest signs of memory loss and dementia - the broader category of age-related conditions of mental decline, up to 80% of which are Alzheimer's - has always been a major goal of researchers. While there is no cure for Alzheimer's, the earlier patients are diagnosed, the sooner...
As the global panic subsides, scientists will focus on figuring out how to ward off the next emerging disease before it lands on our doorstep. "Now is the time to take the actions needed to prevent this," says Nathan Wolfe, director of the Global Viral Forecasting Initiative, which looks for...
It won't be easy. It took years to find the original animal sources of SARS and HIV, among other new diseases. What makes tracking emerging viruses inside wildlife populations all the more difficult is that animals - even more than people - move around a lot, across borders. The U.S. imports...
As a global network of flu experts began to take a good look at the genetic structure of the H1N1 virus, there were indications that the bug might turn out to be little more dangerous than an average flu. Though scientists can't say exactly what genes make a particular...
