A recent study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins and Yale university medical schools, reported in the January issue//of Neuropsychology, published by the American Psychological Association (APA), shows that a simple blood test to measure uric acid, a measure of kidney function, might reveal a risk factor for cognitive problems in old age. The study covered 96 community-dwelling adu...Uric Acid -Biomarker for Dementia
Levels of uric acid might have a say in whether an elderly patient may develop cognitive problems, according to researchers.// The study published in the January issue of Neuropsychology, by Johns Hopkins and Yale University medical schools researchers, looked at 96 community-dwelling adults aged 60 to 92 years old. The participants with uric acid levels in the high-norma...Uric Acid Levels Tied to Impaired Thinking in the Elderly
Even mildly elevated levels of uric acid in the elderly are associated with slower thinking and memory problems, according to a report by researchers at Yale and Johns// Hopkins Schools of Medicine in Neuropsychology. The researchers found that elderly individuals with uric acid levels at the high end of the normal range had the lowest scores on tests measuring mental processing speed,...University of Zurich Announces Worldwide Clinical Trial of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
The University of Zurich announces an investigator initiated large-scale prospective randomized controlled clinical trial to assess the clinical impact of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) in heart failure patients. The worldwide study, called "Echocardiography guided Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (EchoCRT)", is the first prospective randomized clinical trial to evaluate...
