Rush now offers a blood test to help detect more than 50 types of cancer, as other health systems remain wary  Chicago Tribune Source link

Scientists are developing a test that uses a tiny blood sample to detect pancreatic cancer in its early stages. If caught early, pancreatic cancer can potentially be treated. However, patients usually aren’t diagnosed until the cancer has already spread, slashing their chances of survival. The disease is predicted to cause more than 51,000 deaths in the U.S. this year, accounting …

Dogs really can be trained to smell Parkinson’s disease, according to new research from the United Kingdom. In a double blind trial, a Golden Retriever and a Labrador were able to sniff out which skin swabs came from people with Parkinson’s. The smell of the oily secretions seemed to hold secret clues. “The dogs in this study achieved high sensitivity …

A recent study presented at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) conference has sent shockwaves through the geological community, suggesting that India is on the brink of splitting in two. This groundbreaking research, supported by seismic data and isotope analysis, uncovers the process of delamination within the Indian Plate—a phenomenon where a lower part of a tectonic plate detaches and sinks …

Since entering Jupiter’s orbit in 2016, NASA’s Juno spacecraft has been hard at work unveiling the many mysteries of our solar system’s largest planet. And its latest discovery may be one of the most intriguing yet: an entirely new type of plasma wave near Jupiter’s poles.  In a paper published Wednesday in Physical Review Letters, astronomers describe an unusual pattern …

Why it matters: Between 2021 and 2024, Google leveraged the motion sensors on more than two billion Android phones to create a global network capable of detecting earthquakes and sending automated warnings to millions across 98 countries. The results of this massive project reveal a technology that challenges traditional seismology and has the potential to improve public safety on a …

Dogs detect Parkinson’s by smell, years before symptoms start  NewsNationView Full Coverage on Google News Source link

Your dog may be able to tell if you develop Parkinson’s disease years before any symptom, a new study suggests. Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that primarily affects movement, causing symptoms like tremors, stiffness and slow movement.  Currently, this incurable disease can’t be diagnosed with a definitive test and most patients do not know they have the condition …

People with Parkinson’s disease (PD) have an odour that can be reliably detected from skin swabs by trained dogs, a new study has shown. The research, in collaboration with Medical Detection Dogs and the Universities of Bristol and Manchester, was published on July 15 in The Journal of Parkinson’s Disease. Two dogs were trained by the charity, Medical Detection Dogs, …

Since their first implementation in Mexico and Japan, earthquake early-warning (EEW) systems have provided critical advance notice of imminent earthquakes to countless people. Many seismic countries, however, still don’t have the infrastructure necessary to sustain such crucial networks, leaving their populations vulnerable to devastating earthquakes. Researchers in the U.S. and Germany have tested a global earthquake detection and alert system …
