A new mathematical model offers hope for better prediction and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Most mathematical models of Alzheimer’s are theoretical, focusing on short term molecular and cellular-level changes that cannot be measured in patients. However, researchers at Duke University School of Medicine and Pennsylvania State University have used real-world data from over 800 people with varying cognitive abilities, to develop the Alzheimer’s Disease Biomarker Cascade (ADBC) model.

When Jennifer Rymer, MD, entered cardiology fellowship training at Duke in 2014, she was the only woman in her training class. Given the historically low number of women entering cardiology training programs in the U.S., this was unsurprising. Today, just 13 percent of practicing cardiologists in the U.S. are women while fewer than 6 percent of trainees are from underrepresented racial and ethnic…
