Intensive Exercise May Delay Cognitive Decline by 10 Years by:Sue Hughes

Two new analyses from a study in a diverse racial US population have added to evidence that good cardiovascular health and physical exercise can slow cognitive decline in later years. The latest findings come from new analyses of the Northern Manhattan Study (NOMAS), a population-based prospective study originally designed to evaluate the effects of various risk factors on the incidence of stroke in a racially/ethnically diverse community cohort. For the two new analyses, published as two separate papers, researchers from the University of Miami, Florida, and Columbia University, New York, re-examined the data on various risk factors and how they relate to later cognitive function. In the study of physical activity,  published online  in  Neurology on March 23, individuals who reported low levels of leisure time physical activity in their mid-60s showed greater cognitive decline when assessed several years later compared with those who exercised to a moderate or in...

Saliva Test for Lung Cancer (Article from Roxanne Nelson, BSN, RN)

A new "liquid biopsy" that can detect biomarkers of lung cancer in saliva is moving closer to becoming a reality. This noninvasive method is able to detect circulating tumor DNA in saliva and has the potential to dramatically cut waiting time for biopsy results, as well as reduce cost and inconvenience to patients. In a presentation given at the 2016  Annual Meeting  of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), David T. W. Wong, DMD, DMSc, Felix and Mildred Yip Endowed Professor and associate dean of research, School of Dentistry, University of California, Los Angeles, discussed a new prototype of the device, called electric field–induced release and measurement (EFIRM), that is able to detect biomarkers in saliva for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The device has a high degree of accuracy in comparison with current sequencing technology, according to Dr Wong, and can assist with clinical treatment decisions involving tyrosine kinase inhibit...
