Ratio of Serum Very-long-chain to Long-chain Ceramides Is Predictive of Dementia Risk
Results obtained by a large community-based study showed that the ratio of very long‐chain to long‐chain ceramides in the blood was associated with risk of developing various types of dementia including Alzheimer's disease (AD). More...24 Feb 2020

Factor IX Inhibitor Incidence in Pediatric Hemophilia B Examined
Hemophilia B is a blood clotting disorder causing easy bruising and bleeding due to an inherited mutation of the gene for factor IX, and resulting in a deficiency of factor IX. It is less common than factor VIII deficiency (hemophilia A). More...20 Feb 2020



Lung Adenocarcinoma Genomic Features Differ in East Asians, Europeans
Lung adenocarcinoma is a subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Lung adenocarcinoma is categorized as such by how the cancer cells look under a microscope. Lung adenocarcinoma starts in glandular cells, which secrete substances such as mucus, and tends to develop in smaller airways, such as alveoli. More...18 Feb 2020
