A recent study led by a team of researchers at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine examining aging mice has provided what is believed to be the first evidence that amyloid beta protein—small, sticky protein fragment found in people with Alzheimer’s disease (AD)—particles build up in the bone marrow of the animals, although not in the exact same form as the large, dense plaques found in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease.

In this cross-sectional study, structural disparities in rapid emergency medical services (EMS) access were associated with historically redlined areas. Strategic resource allocation and system redesign are warranted to address these inequities in prehospital emergency care.

A team including Regenstrief Institute and Indiana University research scientists has published an in-depth case study on the Indiana Network for Patient Care (INPC), revealing how this mature health information exchange (HIE) has transformed from a clinical and claims data repository supporting individual patient care into a powerful, statewide – and even regional – engine for advancing public health and population well-being.
