Mother Discovers Baby’s Rare Condition Through TikTok Video
Discover how a mother found out about her baby’s rare condition, Sanfilippo syndrome, after seeing a TikTok video. Despite appearing healthy, Lydia was diagnosed with childhood Alzheimer’s, highlighting the importance of early detection and raising awareness about rare conditions.
Study Finds Genetic Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease More Influenced by Mother’s Side
A recent study published in JAMA Neurology reveals that the genetic risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease is more influenced by the mother’s side than the father’s side. With the prevalence of dementia expected to nearly double every 20 years, these insights could lead to improved methods of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. The study, analyzing data from over 4,000 individuals, emphasizes the importance of understanding familial influences on Alzheimer’s risk for developing targeted interventions and treatments.
FDA Approves Eli Lilly’s Alzheimer’s Drug Donanemab
The FDA has approved Eli Lilly’s Alzheimer’s drug donanemab, now marketed as Kisunla, offering hope to the 7 million Americans affected by the disease. Donanemab targets toxic plaques in the brain to slow disease progression, competing with Biogen and Eisai’s Leqembi. Clinical trials showed a 35% reduction in Alzheimer’s progression over 18 months, with monthly infusions costing $12,522 for a six-month course.
Promising Results in Alzheimer’s Disease Treatment Study
Promising results in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease have been revealed in a recent study, showing that a peptide treatment could potentially reverse some of the symptoms associated with the condition. With the global population aging, dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, is becoming a significant concern, making the potential for a treatment that could reverse cognitive decline a significant development in the field of neurodegenerative disorders.
Boston Researchers Develop AI Model for Early Alzheimer’s Detection
Boston researchers have developed a groundbreaking AI model for predicting the onset of Alzheimer’s disease at an early stage. The innovative technology analyzes speech patterns to identify individuals with mild cognitive impairment who are at risk of developing Alzheimer’s within six years.
