Brain-belly connection: Gut health may influence likelihood of developing Alzheimer's

AIHBA / By

Could changing your diet play a role in slowing or even preventing the development of dementia? We’re one step closer to finding out, thanks to a new UNLV study that bolsters the long-suspected link between gut health and Alzheimer’s disease. The analysis — led by a team of researchers with the Nevada Institute of Personalized […]

Battery-free, light-powered pacemaker may improve quality of life for heart disease patients

AIHBA / By

Atrial fibrillation — a form of irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia — leads to more than 454,000 hospitalizations and nearly 160,000 deaths in the United States each year. Globally, it is estimated that approximately 60 million people are affected by the condition. Pacemakers are lifesaving devices that regulate the heartbeats of people with chronic heart diseases

Prostate Cancer

Mechanism leading to drug resistance in prostate cancer

AIHBA / By

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in the United States. Many patients can live long lives due to early detection and treatment with androgen deprivation therapy. However, despite the benefits of this therapy, almost all patients will eventually develop drug resistance and recurrent disease. In a new article published in Science Translational

Large genetic changes that contribute to dementia risk identified

AIHBA / By

Scientists at the National Institutes of Health have identified new genetic risk factors for two types of non-Alzheimer’s dementia. These findings were published in Cell Genomics and detail how researchers identified large-scale DNA changes, known as structural variants, by analyzing thousands of DNA samples. The team discovered several structural variants that could be risk factors

Wearable Skin Patch Monitors Hemoglobin in Deep Tissues 1

Wearable ultrasound patch provide non-invasive deep tissue monitoring

AIHBA / By

A team of engineers at the University of California San Diego has developed a stretchable ultrasonic array capable of serial, non-invasive, three-dimensional imaging of tissues as deep as four centimeters below the surface of human skin, at a spatial resolution of 0.5 millimeters. This new method provides a non-invasive, longer-term alternative to current methods, with

Stem cell treatments 'go deep' to regenerate sun-damaged skin

AIHBA / By

For a while now, some plastic surgeons have been using stem cells to treat aging, sun-damaged skin. But while they’ve been getting good results, it’s been unclear exactly how these treatments — using adult stem cells harvested from the patient’s own body — work to rejuvenate “photoaged” facial skin. A new microscopic-level study provides the

Slowing down in your old age? It may be a dementia warning sign

AIHBA / By

It’s generally accepted we will lose muscle strength and slow down as we age, making it more difficult to perform simple tasks such as getting up, walking and sitting down. But new Edith Cowan University (ECU) research indicates this could also be a signal for another sinister health concern of ageing: late-life dementia. To investigate

Focused ultrasound treatment for essential tremor highly effective after 5 years

AIHBA / By

A scalpel-free, high-tech form of brain surgery pioneered at UVA Health offers long-term relief for patients with essential tremor, a common movement disorder, a five-year review shows. The study offers important insights into the durability of the benefits of focused ultrasound treatment for essential tremor. Five years after treatment, clinical trial participants continued to their
