George Keepers, M.D., explains to Everyday Health the difference between biolar disorder and schizoaffective disorder: “In bipolar disorder, delusions only occur during an active manic or depressive phase, while in schizoaffective disorder, psychosis can happen outside active mood phases.”

Alyssa Colwill, M.D., discusses OHSU's program to train out-of-state OB/GYN residents in abortion services after their states ban the procedure. She says, "We decided that we had the bandwidth and opportunity to train more individuals that were going to lose access to services and educational opportunities."

A new study, led by scientists at Oregon Health & Science University and published online in the journal Annals of Neurology on Aug. 21, reveals for the first time that a form of cell death known as ferroptosis -; caused by a buildup of iron in cells -; destroys microglia cells, a type of cell involved in the brain's immune response, in cases of Alzheimer's and vascular dementia.

A new study reveals for the first time a new avenue of cell death in Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia. “Everyone knows that microglia are activated to mediate inflammation,” says Stephen Back, M.D., Ph.D. “But no one knew that they were dying in such large numbers. It’s just amazing that we missed this until now.”

An OHSU News story highlights new findings re: Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia. Stephen Back, M.D., Ph.D., says, “We’ve missed a major form of cell death in Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia. We hadn’t been giving much attention to microglia as vulnerable cells, and white matter injury in the brain has received relatively little attention."
