Three biomarkers for detecting mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease in saliva samples have been identified.

A recent retrospective study evaluating continuous electroencephalography (cEEG) of children in intensive care units (ICUs) found a higher than anticipated number of seizures.

Sharing data is often a bit like passing round a message in chinese whispers - small change and errors can ultimately ruin the data and render it unfit for purpose. Here, we look at data integrity in the context of shared data and introduce some procedures that will mitigate against Chinese Whispers
