MCI women
Medscape Medical News > Neurology Verbal Memory Advantage May Delay MCI Diagnosis in Women Pauline Anderson March 18, 2016 Women's superior verbal memory may be an advantage early in life, but perhaps not so much when it comes to early diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). New research, published online March 16 in *Neurology*, reveals that despite similar levels of hippocampal atrophy, older women have better verbal memory than older men.

Prostate cancer test
RNA sequencing opens door to accurate, highly specific test for prostate cancer By admin - March 13, 2016 201 0 A study on non-coding RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) from prostate cancer patients has identified a series of new prostate cancer markers which can be found in urine. Combining these RNA markers into a single test potentially opens the door for simple, accurate non-invasive testing for prostate cancer. This work is presented at the European Association of Urology Congress in Munich. Current tests for prostate cancer, such as the PSA and PCA3 tests, are not particularly accura... mais »
