AARP covers the health benefits of fish oil, including a 2024 study at OHSU led by Lynne Shinto, N.D., who says people with a genetic marker for increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease “who got the fish oil had better brain connectivity over three years compared to those who were on placebo. It was a significant finding.”

Phil and Penny Knight provide record-breaking $2 billion gift, the largest single donation ever made to a U.S. university or academic medical center, to transform the future of cancer care. Brian Druker, M.D., says, “Penny and Phil Knight have always challenged us to do what no one else is doing. It can seem impossible to navigate the health care system after being diagnosed with cancer. We’re going to change that. We have revolutionized the way we detect and treat cancer. Now we are going to transform the way we care for patients while continuing to develop innovative treatments.”

A study led by OHSU and Portland State University finds cancerous vocal fold lesions could exert a subtle influence over the sound of a person's voice, which could help catch laryngeal cancer earlier than current methods; Philip Jenkins, M.D. says: “To move from this study to an AI tool that recognizes vocal fold lesions, we would train models using an even larger dataset of voice recordings, labeled by professionals. We then need to test the system to make sure it works equally well for women and men.”

OCT News reports that OHSU and principal investigator Yifan Jian, Ph.D., have received a $625,000 award from the National Institutes of Health to determine whether optical coherence tomography and OCT angiography might lead to more accurate and objective diagnosis, earlier intervention and improved outcomes in cases of retinopathy of prematurity.

An exploratory OHSU study reveals that subtle changes in voice patterns could serve as early warning signs of malignant vocal fold lesions. Phillip Jenkins, Ph.D., says, “To move from this study to an AI tool that recognizes vocal fold lesions, we would train models using an even larger dataset of voice recordings, labeled by professionals.”
