while shifting focus to prevention in patients at risk of a heart attack.""We can t just assume that modifying the risk factor is modifying risk,
says Harlan Krumholz, a cardiologist at Yale university in New haven, Connecticut.""We ve been burned so many times in the past decade by that assumption.
Clinical trials have shown repeatedly that statins reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke, but lowering LDL with other medications does not work as well.
including fighting inflammation, another risk factor for heart disease. Krumholz s scepticism is rooted in experience. In 2008 and 2010, the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) clinical trial challenged dogma
when it reported that lowering blood pressure or blood sugar to prespecified targets did not reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke.
In the case of blood sugar, the risks were worsened. The trial demonstrated the folly of assuming that risk factors must have a causal role in disease,
says Robert Vogel, a cardiologist at the University of Colorado, Denver.""Short people have a higher risk of heart disease,
he says.""But wearing high heels does not lower your risk. Jay Cohn, a cardiologist at the University of Minnesota Medical school in Minneapolis, also worries that the focus on LDL levels offers up the wrong patients for statin therapy.
Most of those who have a heart attack do not have high LDL, he notes. Cohn advocates treating patients with statins based on the state of health of their arteries,
as revealed by noninvasive tests such as ultrasound.""If your arteries and heart are healthy, I don t care
"We can t just assume that modifying the risk factor is modifying risk. Not all cardiologists want to abolish LDL targets.

#Tau Associated MAPT Gene Increases Risk for Alzheimer's disease A international team of scientists, led by researchers at the University of California,
San diego School of medicine, has identified the microtubule associated-protein protein tau (MAPT) gene as increasing the risk for developing Alzheimer disease (AD).
have suggested that MAPT is associated with increased risk for AD, other studies have found no association.
they found that carriers of the deleterious MAPT allele (an alternative form of the gene) are increased at risk for developing AD
Thanks to our collaborators from the Consortium, the International Parkinson Disease Genetics Consortium, the Genetic and Environmental Risk in Alzheimer Disease, the Cohorts for Heart and Aging research in Genomic Epidemiology, decode Genetics and the Demgene cohort,
Until this year no one had shown convincingly that the MAPT (tau) gene altered the risk of AD and this,
The recent association of genetic variation in the MAPT gene with AD risk and the emerging availability of tau imaging are now leading to a recognition that perhaps tau changes are key in the pathophysiologic pathway of AD
Scientists are also investigating the risk of earthquake -and landslide-triggered tsunamis in Alpine lakes.

Since 2004 Ted Stanley and his late wife Vada Stanley have been instrumental to the progress made thus far in identifying the genetic risk factors for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and the initiation of therapeutic efforts based on those discoveries.

Some of these differences have been linked with cancer vulnerability; for example, a genetic defect in a type of DNA repair called nucleotide excision repair often leads to a condition called xeroderma pigmentosum, in

Such a system could be used to monitor patients who are at high risk for blood clots says Sangeeta Bhatia senior author of the paper and the John and Dorothy Wilson Professor of Health Sciences and Technology and Electrical engineering and Computer science.
Some patients are at more risk for clotting but existing blood tests are not consistently able to detect the formation of new clots says Bhatia who is also a senior associate member of the Broad Institute and a member of MIT s Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research
Another application is monitoring patients who are at high risk for a clot for example people who have to spend a lot of time in bed recovering from surgery.
