Eye changes may be early warning for Alzheimer's

2 months ago | futurity.org | Rory Appleton

Researchers have identified that an eye condition affecting the retina, the light-sensing tissue in the back of the eye, may serve as an early indicator for Alzheimer’s disease. Their findings offer new insights into the potential use of retinal changes as early biomarkers for Alzheimer’s, which could improve diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative disease.
Mass deportation is likely bad for housing prices

Jan 30, 2025 | futurity.org | Brian Maffly

A new study concludes mass deportation of undocumented immigrants would drain the construction workforce, significantly slowing an already sluggish rate of new residential construction. Mass deportation has been touted by the incoming Trump administration as a way to increase jobs for US citizens and reduce housing costs.
Common sleeping pill may pave way for disorders like Alzheimer's

Jan 9, 2025 | futurity.org | Mark Rochester

A common sleep aid may leave behind a dirty brain, according to new research. Getting a good night’s sleep is a critical part of our daily biological cycle and is associated with improved brain function, a stronger immune system, and a healthier heart. Conversely, sleep disorders like insomnia and sleep apnea can significantly impact health and quality of life. Poor sleep often precedes the onset of neurodegenerative diseases and is a predictor of early dementia.
Poor air quality negatively affects marathon times

Jan 7, 2025 | futurity.org | Corrie Pikul-Brown

Analyzing 16 years of race results and air pollution levels, a team of researchers found that poor air quality had a negative effect on marathon times. When the research team assessed the association between fine particulate matter in the air and marathon finish times, they found that greater race-day pollution is associated with slower average marathon finish times. Their findings appear in the journal Sports Medicine.
Why are New Year's resolutions so hard to keep?

Jan 6, 2025 | futurity.org | Iqbal Pittalwala

A psychologist has answers for you about how to make your New Year’s resolutions last. It can be fun to make New Year’s resolutions, but hard for most of us to keep them. Gyms, for example, get crowded in early January, but come February the determination of many begins to peter out. Will those who have taken on a new diet succeed in sticking to it through the end of this year? The chances of success can be small.
AI 'imagines' a whole world from 1 picture

Researchers have created an artificial intelligence system capable of “imagining” its surroundings without having to physically explore them, bringing AI closer to humanlike reasoning.
Electronic tattoo decodes brainwaves

Jan 3, 2025 | futurity.org | UT Austin

A new conductive ink can be printed directly on the surface of a patient’s head and measure their brainwaves. Since the emergence of temporary, skin-attached electronic tattoos more than a decade ago—and their evolution to measure heart activity, track pneumonia, measure stress levels, and more—researchers have grappled with a major logistical challenge: How can they be applied to hairy skin without losing performance? To figure out this challenge, researchers borrowed from regular tattoos.
City trees can boost education outcomes
