In older adults at higher risk for Alzheimer's disease, one year of aerobic exercise enhanced flow in the anterior cingulate cortex and the hippocampus, according to a new study.

“We are very excited to have found this potent neutralizing antibody that we hope will participate in ending the COVID-19 pandemic,” said project co-lead David Veesler, PhD, with the University of Washington in Seattle.

“By examining cognitive dysfunction patterns within an individual, we can develop better risk assessment tools that will allow quick therapeutic interventions before relapses occur,” said co-investigator of the project Olusola Ajilore, MD, PhD, with the University of Illinois at Chicago.

The algorithm's sensitivity edged out that of trained radiologists at identifying signs of the disease on chest CT scans, Mount Sinai researchers explained recently.

If validated further, the algorithm could be used to flag urgent scans in radiology workflows, especially in resource-strapped regions.

With further testing and validation, Hyungjin Kim, with Seoul’s National University College of Medicine and colleagues believe radiologists may one day use the tool to individualize treatment and achieve better outcomes.

"Using this new tool may uncover the characteristics of different types of clots that were previously unrecognized by humans," researchers wrote in the journal eLife.

Abnormalities were most commonly seen in sicker patients with the virus who were also admitted to the intensive care unit, according to recent research.
