Pioneering AI-based approach identifies rare disease patients using electronic health records

Research paper describes the use of Symptoma's AI-based approach to identify patients with Pompe disease from retrospective electronic health records. The study found a prevalence of one in every 18,427 people for Pompe disease in the greater Salzburg region and established phenotypes for patient cohorts with an onset of symptoms above or below 1 year of age.

Sleep apnea, lack of deep sleep associated with brain biomarkers of cerebrovascular disease

People who have sleep apnea and spend less time in deep sleep may be more likely to have brain biomarkers that have been linked to an increased risk of stroke, Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline, according to new research published in the May 10, 2023, online issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

Ultra-long protein fibrils are a signature of severe Alzheimer’s disease, study shows

During the course of Alzheimer's disease, protein fibrils appear in the spinal fluid of affected individuals. Empa researchers, together with the Department of Neurology at the Cantonal Hospital in St. Gallen, have now visualized the wide spectrum of protein aggregates from oligomers, protofibrils to fibrils in the spinal fluid.
