Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the fifth leading cause of death in adults over 65 years old. While many potential treatments for neurodegenerative disease focus on developing drugs to target key culprits, a relatively new approach aims to treat the brain.
According to a recent study, medications frequently prescribed to patients to reduce joint inflammation may also lessen the risk of cardiovascular disease in those with rheumatoid arthritis, who are at an elevated risk for the condition.
Study found that single X-ray that predicts the 10-year probability of dying from a heart attack or stroke caused by atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
Washington [US], June 14 (ANI): A research study by the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute sheds light on that mystery, providing clues that may link mutations to epigenetic changes, and may point to potential drug targets to reduce the risk for people born with certain genetic mutations.
Boston (Massachusetts) [US], April 24 (ANI): According to a new study from Brigham and Women's Hospital, female patients and those living in low-income areas have higher mortality rates after cardiovascular and thoracic procedures.
Boston [US], March 18 (ANI): A new study led by researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital found that excessive daytime napping can increase the future risk of Alzheimer's Dementia and dementia sped up the increase in daytime napping during ageing.
Pennsylvania [US], February 13 (ANI): Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts.
