When a mouthful of water goes down the wrong pipe – heading toward a healthy person’s lungs instead of their gut – they start coughing uncontrollably. That’s because their upper airway senses the
Mild brain inflammation destroys arm-like projections of neurons rather than the neurons themselves, but can still cause significant brain damage.
People with dementia and those who care for them should be screened for loneliness, so providers can find ways to keep them socially connected.
UCSF scientists found a way to predict Alzheimer’s disease up to seven years before symptoms appear by analyzing patient records with machine learning. Conditions that most influenced prediction of Alzheimer’s were high cholesterol and, for women, osteoporosis.
A little-studied steroid that serves as a building block for hormones like estrogen and testosterone has been shown to enhance learning and memory in a new study by researchers at UC San Francisco.
A newly-discovered gene may explain how humans go deaf both as they age, and in response to loud noise.
Quality of sleep, not quantity, may play a part in the development of dementia decades before symptoms start.
What a tiny grassroots program in the Tenderloin is teaching doctors about healing through human connection.
Fortified stem cells. Enhanced memory. A longevity hormone. UCSF researchers are finding out whether we can cancel – or at least delay – old age.
Pulsed field ablation is a cutting edge treatment that is shorter, faster and has fewer complications than traditional ablation.
