  • AI Framework for Differentiating Neurodegenerative Diseases

    Diagnostics World | A team of computational scientists at Lund University (Sweden) have built a deep, joint-learning proteomics model for improving the diagnostic accuracy for a handful of dementia-related conditions which in primary care settings remains challenging due to a shortage of informative biomarkers. Predicting these different but correlated pathologies together with a single blood test would facilitate a differential diagnosis with speed and confidence.

  • Built-From-Scratch Screening Device Takes Aim at Ovarian Cancer

    Diagnostics World | It is notoriously difficult to detect ovarian cancer early, particularly aggressive high-grade serous types that often originate as precursor lesions in the fallopian tubes. The cancer quietly spreads at a microscopic level within the abdomen, defying discovery until symptoms emerge in advanced stages of the disease when it becomes hard to treat and difficult to cure.

  • Walking Patterns May Help Differentiate Between Parkinson’s Disease and Dementia with Lewy Bodies

    Diagnostics World | Early dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and early Parkinson’s disease share several symptoms and are often misdiagnosed in early stages. It is critical to accurately distinguish the two diseases because of their contrasting disease paths. Fortunately, walking behaviors may be early diagnostic markers for neurodegeneration.

  • Study Links Executive Functioning to Physical Activity in Older Adults

    Diagnostics World | Researchers in Belgium compared cognition to movement data in healthy adults looking for links that might predict cognitive decline later in life. The study is part of the PASOCA-project (how Physical Activity and Sleep relate to Optimal Cognitive Ageing), a two-year longitudinal, observational study examining 24-hour movement behaviors and cognitive function in cognitively healthy adults aged 55 and older residing in Flanders, Belgium.
