Now, a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that analyzes magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans developed by USC researchers could be used to accurately capture cognitive…

My Father Didn’t Want to Live if He Had Dementia.

— But Then He Had It. By Sandeep Jauhar Two years ago, when my father was dying of dementia, my siblings and I faced a terrible dilemma: Whose wishes for his medical treatment were we to honor? Those of my father back when he was a healthy, highly functioning geneticist? Or those of the simpler, weakened man my father had become? It was a predicament that has led me to rethink my views on…

New Alzheimer’s studies reveal disease biology, risk for progression, and the potential for a novel blood test

The failure to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia in the elderly, at an early stage of molecular pathology is considered a major reason why treatments fail in clinical trials.

Did Donald Trump Lose the Debate? Maybe

By Arlen Grossman Democrats might want to consider stepping back from that steep ledge. The first “debate” between President Joe Biden and the 45th president, Donald Trump, is over, and at first glance, was a total disaster for Biden and the Democrats. But at second glance, maybe not so much. Anybody who watched the debate could see President Biden looking every day of his 81 years, maybe more…

Even More Evidence That Alzheimer's Was Being Spread by Now-Banned Injections

The practice of injecting children with growth hormone extracted from the brains of deceased people was abandoned long ago – with good reason. Around 200 children who underwent this procedure during 1959–1985 to treat short stature developed Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease decades later – a deadly, degenerative brain condition caused by a misfolded protein known as a prion. Now, a study has…
