A data-mining study conducted by researchers in the US has found that an already-approved diuretic drug could have potential as a treatment for some patients with Alzheimer’s disease. The results are strong enough to back a proof-of-concept study in people with genetic risk of Alzheimer’s according to the researchers.

Researchers in the US have developed an artificial intelligence-based tool that is able to predict COVID-19 symptoms and suggest which FDA-approved drugs might be used to treat patients. The tool meanwhile could also be applied to new outbreaks of other novel viral infections as they emerge, according to the scientists.
