"Many new therapies for Alzheimer’s disease and related conditions are designed to work at the earliest stages of the disease process. However, most existing cognitive tests detect impairment only once irreversible damage has already occurred. Our test shifts the detection window years earlier, providing a far more sensitive way of identifying subtle changes in memory."

As awareness grows that smoke management is integral to surgical safety and efficiency, solutions that tackle smoke at its source are becoming increasingly important for supporting the next generation of minimally invasive and robotic procedures."
