Medical Xpress / Are tau PET scans 'lighting up' too much of the brain in Alzheimer's disease?
Tau proteins play an important role in Alzheimer's disease. Tau helps to stabilize neurons in the brain, but in Alzheimer's disease, tau proteins can misfold and tangle inside neurons. These tangles spread across the brain ...
Medical Xpress / Oral semaglutide found to lower risk of heart failure events in people with type 2 diabetes
An international clinical trial has found that an oral form of semaglutide, a widely used diabetes drug, reduced the risk of serious heart failure events in people with type 2 diabetes who already had heart failure. The findings, ...
Phys.org / The most rigid crisis protocols tend to be the least efficient
A study conducted by the Carlos III University of Madrid (UC3M) concludes that effective adaptation in crisis and emergency situations requires teams to accurately understand unfolding events and flexibly use different coordination ...
