Summary: Two landmark international studies show that brain biomarkers can predict whether people with REM sleep behaviour disorder (iRBD) will develop Parkinson’s disease or dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). MRI scans revealed that reduced glymphatic system function signals higher risk for Parkinson’s, while increased free water in the basal nucleus of Meynert predicts progression to DLB. These findings come from …

Scientists have developed a new artificial intelligence tool that can predict your personal risk of more than 1,000 diseases, and forecast changes in health a decade in advance. The generative AI tool was custom-built by experts from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), the German Cancer Research Centre and the University of Copenhagen, using algorithmic concepts similar to those used …

Mars may be known as the Red Planet, but under the right cosmic conditions, its skies shimmer emerald with auroras — and for the first time, scientists think they can predict the spectacle. Being able to predict Martian auroras, which result from solar storms that also unleash harmful radiation, could provide future astronauts with crucial warning and time to take …

Gemini Space Station, the cryptocurrency exchange founded by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, surged in its Nasdaq debut Friday after raising $425 million in an initial public offering. The company priced its IPO late Thursday at $28 a share, valuing Gemini at about $3.3 billion before trading began. That price was above the revised $24 to $26 range it set earlier …

Researchers have found that one key health reading taken at the age of 7 could have a significant impact on the risk of dying of cardiovascular disease (CVD) decades later: blood pressure. In a new study carried out by researchers from institutions across the US, children with elevated blood pressure (in the 90 to 94th percentile) or hypertension (in the …

Physicists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have challenged long-held assumptions about black holes and now estimate up to a 90% chance of observing a primordial black hole explosion within the next decade. (Artist’s concept). Credit: SciTechDaily.com UMass Amherst physicists believe such an explosion could occur within the next decade, potentially “revolutionizing physics and rewriting the history of the universe.” …

Researchers have identified gut microbes associated with higher risk of preterm birth in early pregnancy. Image credit:©iStock, CatEyePerspective During pregnancy, expectant mothers often take steps to prepare for the arrival of their baby, such as taking vitamins and supplements and avoiding smoking or alcohol. While a typical pregnancy lasts about 40 weeks, preterm birth—defined as birth before 37 weeks of …

Summary: A new study demonstrates that brain iron levels, measured with a special MRI technique, can predict cognitive decline years before symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease appear. Researchers followed 158 cognitively healthy older adults and found that higher iron levels in memory-related regions of the brain were associated with a greater risk of mild cognitive impairment. This risk was even higher …

A special brain imaging technique could help predict if a person will develop dementia later in life, a new study has revealed.  Researchers from Johns Hopkins University used a special MRI technique called quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) in a long-term investigation to measure levels of iron in the brain. Alzheimer’s disease, the leading cause of dementia that affects 7million Americans, is …
