I am presently working on my doctoral dissertation with a vision towards understanding some of the causes of breast cancer and developing new means
of early diagnosis of this disease.
Dr David Alexander Dickie, of The University of Edinburgh's Brain Research Imaging Centre and SINAPSE, who was first author of the study, said: «We're absolutely delighted with these preliminary results and that our brain MRI atlases may be used to
support earlier diagnoses of diseases such as Alzheimer's.
Although there is currently no technology that
allows early diagnosis of the disease, a number of putative markers have been identified: their detection after diagnosis would be a useful tool to monitor the evolution of the tumor during treatment, providing valuable prognostic information on response to a given therapy.
The proceeds have paid for a $ 1.2 million 3 Tesla MRI machine, which uses groundbreaking technology to allow doctors to
make earlier diagnoses of diseases and prevent some surgeries.
«We have identified a new molecular mechanism which directly contributes to this synapse loss — a discovery we hope could eventually lead to
earlier diagnosis of the disease and new treatments.»
Staff and owners have noticed great differences, with previously aggressive cats now handleable and clients more willing to bring their cats for examination, encouraging preventive healthcare and
early diagnosis of disease.
Routine blood work is also an excellent tool that may lead to
early diagnosis of disease.
Pursuing advances in novel diagnostics and therapies as a tool for improving treatment options and
earlier diagnosis of disease for our patients.
Knowing what is «normal» for your pet helps us to detect changes earlier which can lead to
earlier diagnosis of disease, with more successful treatment outcomes.
