Study identifies a urinary biomarker to reveal early-stage Alzheimer’s disease

Could a simple urine test reveal if someone has early-stage Alzheimer’s disease and could this pave the way for large-scale screening programs? A new study in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience certainly suggests so. The researchers tested a large group of patients with Alzheimer’s disease of different levels of severity and healthy controls with normal cognition to identify differences in urinary biomarkers.

Cryoablation is more effective than heat-based treatment for some small kidney cancers

For patients with early-stage renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) that measure between 3 and 4 centimeters, a procedure that destroys the cancer by freezing – called cryoablation – yields a lower-risk of cancer-related death compared to heat-based thermal ablation, reports a preliminary study in The Journal of Urology®, an Official Journal of the American Urological Association.

New urine tests for early diagnosis of chronic kidney disease

Early diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is key to managing progression of the disease. A new technique analyzing urine extracellular vesicles (uEVs) - cell-derived nanoscale spherical structures involved in multiple biological functions - in urine samples identifies changes in the kidneys earlier than conventional methods and can also predict renal function decline.
