Other possible causes leading to eclampsia include carrying more than one baby, and a history of diabetes, kidney disease, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. African-American women are at a higher risk of preeclampsia, as are women over age 35, teen pregnancies and first pregnancies.
MRI Can Detect Early Stages of Alzheimer's Disease. the Psychiatry Advisor take: Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a new, noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging probe that they say can identify the start of Alzheimerâs disease years before symptoms appear.
While there is no definitive test for early detection of Alzheimerâs, there is now a diagnostic test using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a special post-processing volumetric software. This program, called NeuroQuant, is the first of its kind available to assist diagnosis. High resolution brain scans are analyzed by NeuroQuant for Alzheimerâs detection NeuroQuant analyzes high resolution images from a MRI scan of the brain to quantify the volume of the hippocampus, temporal horn, and other structures of the brain.
