Substitute teachers and replacement nurses may cause disease to spread faster (Update)
Mathematical biologist Sam Scarpino aims to understand disease as an emergent process.His new study in Nature Physics pushes forward our understanding of how epidemics spread -- and has sobering implications for substitute teachers, replacement nurses, even members of a hockey team -- anyone who fills in for a sick colleague.Credit: Joshua Brown Imagine a nurse who gets the flu while working at a hospital.He goes home to recover—and an uninfected replacement nurse comes in.

Are you underweight? You may fall prey to Alzheimer's disease
A recent study has found a link between a lower weight and early Alzheimer's disease.Researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), USA, found an association between lower weight and more extensive deposits of the Alzheimer's-associated protein beta-amyloid in the brains of cognitively normal older individuals.Read: How thin is too thin?The association was seen in particular among individuals carrying the APOE4 gene variant, which is known to increase the risk of Alzheimer's.

A panel of biomarkers may predict early Alzheimer's disease
Diagram of the brain of a person with Alzheimer's Disease.Credit: Wikipedia/public domain.University of Wisconsin-Madison Alzheimer's researchers have identified a scientific approach that may help predict which older adults are more likely to develop cognitive symptoms of Alzheimer's disease well before the onset of dementia.This approach – which statistically analyzes a panel of biomarkers – could help identify people most likely to benefit from drugs or other interventions to slow the progress of the disease.
