Sleep apnea linked to increased risk of Parkinson’s: Study suggests CPAP may reduce risk

MyBlueDots4 months ago01 mins

People with obstructive sleep apnea have an increased risk of Parkinson’s disease, but if started early enough, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may reduce that risk, according to a preliminary study presented at the American Academy of Neurology’s 77th Annual Meeting taking place April 5–9, 2025, in San Diego and online.

Can making the NHS cleaner slow the spread of disease?

MyBlueDots4 months ago01 mins

Several weeks ago, I visited a local NHS urgent care center with my toddler on what might be called a semi-annual pilgrimage related to having a child in nursery. Owing to what is now a typical three- or four-hour wait, during which he made a recovery, I had the time to notice the hospital’s waiting room cleaning practices. They amounted to someone pushing a mop around the floor and in the process moving, rather than removing, various fluids and items that had probably amassed over the preceding several hours.

Advancing stroke imaging analysis with interpretable AI and effective connectivity models

MyBlueDots4 months ago01 mins

Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, making early diagnosis and intervention critical. In a recent study published in IEEE Access, our team introduced a groundbreaking end-to-end approach to stroke imaging analysis, combining effective connectivity modeling with interpretable artificial intelligence (AI). This innovation has the potential to transform clinical workflows by enhancing both the accuracy and transparency of stroke diagnoses, highlighting information and flow changes in areas that should be targeted by therapies such as stem cells.

For cancer patients, oncologists often have the final word

MyBlueDots4 months ago01 mins

For terminally ill cancer patients, the final days of life are immensely personal, having the choice to continue cancer treatments, or to stop treatments and prioritize a more comfortable passing. What a patient wants, however, isn’t always what they receive, according to a Rutgers Health study published in the journal Cancer.

Immune ‘fingerprints’ aid diagnosis of complex diseases

MyBlueDots4 months ago01 mins

Your immune system harbors a lifetime’s worth of information about threats it’s encountered—a biological Rolodex of baddies. Often the perpetrators are viruses and bacteria you’ve conquered; others are undercover agents like vaccines given to trigger protective immune responses or even red herrings in the form of healthy tissue caught in immunological crossfire.

Blood metabolites tied to childhood growth and cognitive milestones
