Q: if monoclonal antibodies for Alzheimer's were available now, how many people in the UK would be eligible?
A: 30,200 people/yr (less than expected) applying trial criteria to real populations in Cambridge + South London.

When to order neuroimaging in first episode psychosis - for everyone or just if we have suspicions of an ‘organic’ cause?
We looked at MRI scan reports in people with first episode psychosis (n=1,486) using Clinical Record Interactive Search (CRIS) to find out
Huge congratulations to the amazing @lucyl_lucy for passing her PhD viva. 🎉🎉🎉

Excited to share our work on between-scanner test-retest reliability of ultra-low-field brain MRI morphometry and correspondence to high-field MRI: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… | We scanned 23 healthy adults (20-69 y) on two identical 64 mT @Hyperfine Swoop systems and 3 T MRI (1/n)
Portable ultra-low-field brain MRI!
Great work from @frantisekvasa and team. Lovely to be part of this work going forward.

Paper out now and open access: @NIHRMaudsleyBRC CRIS study showing that people with MCI and loneliness or relationship problems had a higher risk of being diagnosed with dementia later. A potentially modifiable target for intervention at the MCI stage.
