fMRI gets to the bottom of smell, taste dysfunction from COVID-19
January 22, 2021 -- Functional MRI (fMRI) was helpful for evaluating persistent smell and taste dysfunction in a patient with COVID-19, according to a case report published January 22 in JAMA Neurology. The orbitofrontal cortex appears to be particularly relevant in understanding the cause of symptoms, Kuwaiti researchers reported.

Discuss USPSTF readies update to breast screening guidelines
January 21, 2021 -- The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) has published the draft research plan it will use to update its mammography screening guidance. The plan is the first step to issuing new USPSTF breast screening recommendations, which can affect how private insurers reimburse screening.
