Identifying Hypertensive Patients From A Simple Algorithm
Researchers have developed a way to predict which patients will benefit most from aggressive high blood pressure treatment. The machine learning algorithm they devised combines three variables routinely collected during clinic visits and demonstrates how the emerging field of bioinformatics could transform patient care. The study was published in the American Journal of Cardiology,
They describe a risk prediction model in which patient age, urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR), and cardiovascular disease history successfully identified hypertensive patients for whom the benefits of intensive therapy outweigh the risks.
New Hope For People With Disabling Dupuytren's Disease

Novel Nuclear Medicine Probe And New Drugs for Neurodegenerative Diseases
New nuclear medicine tracers could help medical researchers find a cure for Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases. The research was presented today at the SNMMI 2018 Annual Meeting, June 23-26 in Philadelphia
Nucleus Tuberalis Lateralis Plays A Vital Role In Regulating Eating Behavior
A team of researchers from China and Singapore has discovered a region in the brain that appears to play a central role in regulating eating behavior. In their paper published in the journal Science, the group describes their study of the brain region and what they found. Sabrina Diano with the Yale University School of Medicine offers a Perspective piece on the work done by the team in the same journal issue
Potential to Replace Race as a Risk Factor for Kidney-transplant Failure
A significant portion of kidneys from deceased donors are discarded because they literally don't make the grade—a scoring system known as the kidney donor profile index (KDPI) that aims to predict how long a donor kidney will last in an intended recipient based on a variety of factors, including the donor's age, size and health history
First-trimester Screening of Pregnant Women for Asymptomatic Bacteriuria Needed
First-trimester screening of pregnant women for asymptomatic bacteriuria—higher than normal bacteria levels without symptoms of a bladder infection—is recommended by the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care in an updated guideline in CMAJ
