An artificial intelligence (AI) model can detect Parkinson's disease (PD), assess its severity, and track its progression using nocturnal breathing signals, new research suggests. In a large dataset study, the model accurately detected persons with PD from those without the disease with both high sensitivity and specificity. It also recognized persons with PD before they had received an actual diagnosis. The results highlight the model's potential as a digital PD biomarker, the investigators note.

@gurdeep Other supplements, such as multivitamins, selenium, vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin D alone, calcium alone, folic acid, and iron, or such dietary interventions as the Mediterranean diet, reduced saturated fat intake, modified fat intake, reduced dietary fat intake, and increased intake of omega-3 ALA [alpha-linolenic acid] or omega-6 PUFA, did not seem to have a significant effect on mortality or CVD outcomes,

Cognitive decline is common after COVID-19 infection, in new findings that provide much-needed information on the long-term dynamic trajectory of cognitive changes after COVID-19. The findings are based on 1438 COVID-19 survivors (48% male; median age, 69 years), including 260 with severe illness and 1178 with nonsevere illness, discharged from three COVID-designated hospitals in Wuhan, as well as 438 uninfected controls (51% male; median age, 67 years). Before they were infected with COVID-19, none of the study participants had cognitive impairment; a concomitant neurological disorder or a family history of dementia; or severe cardiac, hepatic, or kidney disease or malignancy. At 12 months postdischarge, 12.5% of COVID-19 survivors had developed cognitive impairment, defined by a Telephone Interview of Cognitive Status-40 score (TICS-40) of 20 or lower.

A quick poll of Kitchen staffers found that most of the home cooks on the team don’t mind the lingering smell of garlic on their fingertips. But I know that this is not a scent that everyone loves. Some of you don’t want a whiff of that still-pungent smell when you’re laying in bed at night and go to take off your glasses. I suppose I get it. Please suggest some best way to remove that smell, once and for all.

Hello, my uncle is a 50-year-old man complained of periumbilical and left lower quadrant abdominal pain that began earlier in the day. The pain was intermittent, “crampy” in character and accompanied by anorexia and vomiting. He had a normal bowel movement the previous day. He had not experienced similar pain in the past. There was no history of prior abdominal surgery or any sort of clinical problem. On examination, the doctor diagnosed that he has intestinal obstruction. Although he was afebrile and in moderate distress due to his abdominal pain. The abdomen was mildly distended with periumbilical tenderness, but no rebound tenderness. I want to know the treatment for intestinal obstruction.
