For older women, that might mean a higher risk of liver cancer and death from chronic liver disease, a new study finds. The report, published on Tuesday in the medical journal JAMA, tracked the beverage choices of nearly 100,000 women between the ages of 50 and 79 across the United States and looked at their health outcomes over two decades. Compared with women who consumed fewer sugar-sweetened beverages less frequently, those who drank sugary beverages every day faced higher rates of liver cancer and death from chronic liver disease.

The annual price-tag will run patients $26,500. The same week, the Alzheimer’s Association for the first time ever released county-level data to identify which communities are most struggling with the disease. 6.7 million Americans live with Alzheimer’s disease and 134,000 of them will die because of it each year. We’ve known these aggregate numbers for a while now, but with new data and new drugs, healthcare specialists can now better target attention and resources. More Americans will die from Alzheimer’s this year than will die from breast cancer, prostate cancer, and car accidents combined.

A new blood test, recently approved by the FDA, helps predict which patients are most at risk. A blood pressure disorder that can develop after week 20 of pregnancy has long been one of the leading causes of maternal mortality. Pre-eclampsia is characterized by high blood pressure and protein in the urine, and if left untreated, it can damage organs, leading to either death or disability. Historically, pre-eclampsia has been very difficult to diagnose because it looks very similar to other common disorders such as chronic hypertension. In recent weeks, the FDA approved the first blood test that can predict which patients are at an elevated risk for developing pre-eclampsia with severe features.  “This test helps us figure out who is at a high risk for developing some of the more severe outcomes for pre-eclampsia,” says Nandini Raghuraman, an obstetrician/gynecologist at Washington University of St. Louis’ Barnes-Jewish Hospital.   Continued here
