Medical Xpress / Alzheimer's disease can be evaluated with brain stimulation, finds study
As individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) move from the mild cognitive impairment stage to moderate and severe dementia, complex awareness deteriorates although lower-level sensory awareness is relatively maintained. Most ...
Medical Xpress / Carbon-ion therapy offers nonsurgical option for early breast cancer treatment
For many women with early breast cancer, surgery is effective but life-altering. New five-year data from the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST) suggest that a precisely targeted, high-energy particle ...
