A study in ACS Omega shows that the remaining fluid in high-puff e-cigarettes accumulates toxic chemicals as the device ages.

A better way to diagnose complex brain disorders.
Research published in Alzheimer’s And Dementia reveals how an AI tool can analyze a blood test and distinguish between four major neurodegenerative diseases with over 92 percent accuracy. The test can even detect when a patient suffers from multiple overlapping conditions simultaneously – paving the way for inexpensive screening and highly personalized precision treatment.

The findings are published in the Journal Cell.
