UCSF Health is expanding its collaboration with two hospitals in Hawaii, Hawai’i Pacific Health and Hilo Medical Center, to support a $150 million gift from Lynne and Marc Benioff that aims to increase access to high-quality medical care for Hawaii residents.
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.
In a first, scientists at UCSF and Stanford identified genetic variants that predict whether a patient is likely to respond to treatment for preterm birth. Screening for mutations could allow doctors to target medications to those most likely to benefit. No medication is currently available in the U.S. to treat preterm birth.
