With the increasing popularity of medical imaging and its expanding applications, posing significant challenges for radiologists. Radiologists need to spend substantial time and effort to review images and manually writing reports every day. To address these challenges and speed up the process of patient care, researchers have employed deep learning methods to automatically generate medical reports.

Background: It is unknown whether fasting status affects classification of amyloid status by plasma Aβ42/40.
Methods: The cohort included 50 amyloid PET positive and 50 amyloid PET negative individuals enrolled in studies of memory and aging at the Knight Alzheimer Disease Research Center (ADRC). Included individuals had a non-fasted plasma sample and an amyloid PET scan performed within 3 months of a fasted plasma sample.

Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL, USA.
Background: SuperAgers-individuals age 80+ with episodic memory performance at least as good as those 20-30 years younger-provide a unique perspective on cognitive resilience and resistance in aging. The SuperAging Research Initiative (SRI), spearheaded by The University of Chicago and involving multiple academic partners, investigates factors underpinning robust cognitive aging. One key SRI project, leverages a fully remote data collection paradigm to: 1) discern activity patterns that characterize SuperAgers and 2) explore the 'complexity hypothesis in aging'-whether dynamic physiological responsiveness is a hallmark of exceptional cognitive aging.
