Lower Lifetime Estrogen Exposure Linked to Gray Matter Loss
A new study suggests that greater cumulative exposure to estrogen in life, for example from having had more children or from having taken menopause hormone therapy, may counter a brain-shrinking effect.

Genome Sequencing Increases Diagnosis of Rare Disorders
Whole genome sequencing from a single blood test picks up 31% more cases of rare genetic disorders than standard tests, shortening the "diagnostic odyssey" that affected families experience, and providing huge opportunities for future research.

Prostate Cancer Urine Test Identifies Good Prognosis Patients
Researchers have shown that a prostate cancer urine test can identify men at "intermediate risk" who can safely avoid immediate treatment and benefit from "active surveillance" instead.

Spectroscopy May Assist Non-Invasive Lung Assessments
As we breathe, the volume of gases in the lungs is continually changing with varying degrees of inhalation and exhalation. These volumes are medically important for clinical assessment and diagnosis of respiratory pathologies. A light-based technology known as gas-in-scattering-media absorption spectroscopy (GASMAS) may allow noninvasive optical sensing of respiratory volumes.
