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...

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...

Image: Normal electrocardiogram (ECG) and an ECG showing QT interval prolongation (long QT syndrome). The P wave represents atrial depolarization; the QRS complex, ventricular depolarization; and the T wave, ventricular repolarization. The QT interval is measured from the beginning of the QRS complex to the return of the T wave to the isoelectric line (Photo courtesy of Mayo Clinic).

Several Genes Linked to Long QT Syndrome Reappraised

 Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is the first described and most common inherited arrhythmia. Over the last 25 years, multiple genes have been reported to cause this condition and are routinely tested in patients. More...

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...
