The "prodromal" phase of #Alzheimer's can last 15-20 years; that is, the brain is being invaded -- slowly -- before clinical presentations appear (for example, word-finding; memory; spatial disorientation). Check out this explanation of a new blood test whose predictive accuracy seems extraordinary. @erictopol also discusses the benefits of intervening early and addressing #modifiableriskfactors .

Thank you @cobalt for directing me to this article.

Anti-empathy = death cult: the #DOJ's disgusting delay of #Abrego Garcia's return; the kidnapping of the #RumeysaOzturk #KhalilMahmoud's imprisonment; cuts to #Medicaid, #SocialSecurity, #Alzheimer's research & "So it Goes" to quote #Vonnegut.

"Trump's sociopathy now outranks the empathy of Jesus in MAGA eyes. But there's another angle to this, as well: This is about the MAGA right's unhinged obsession w/gender & escalating hatred of women."

As the #NIH slashes funding for research into #Alzheimer's, #cancer, #COVID & #diseases that inflict pain & suffering, I'm heartbroken & furious. #Early-onset Alzheimer's took my father away from me &, more importantly, himself. Why would anyone in their right mind (right, the mind of the #fascist is almost incomprehensible) do such a thing? If nothing else, a selfish viewpt. says this is idiocy. These cuts are meant to bring us to our knees. Let's resist (& sue them into oblivion).

Massive, Unarchivable #Datasets of #Cancer, #Covid, #HIV and #Alzheimer's Research Could Be Lost Forever
Days before RFK announced 10,000 #HHS staffers would lose their jobs, a message appeared on #NIH research repository sites saying they were "under review." Unlike other government datasets or web pages, downloading or otherwise archiving NIH data often requires a Data Use Agreement between a researcher institution and the agency.
