United Nations Pledges to Address Dementia as a Global Health Issue
For the first time, the United Nations has acknowledged dementia as a major global health concern, pledging to scale up action and improve services for the 57 million people living with the condition. This declaration was made during the U.N. General Assembly, where world leaders also discussed othe... [More info]
Never give up on someone with dementia. Support them, in the ways they want or wanted, until they are ready to depart this mortal coil.
We don't stop loving those we have lost.

* I am so proud of my mom. It only took her 24 days to find her way out without anybody noticing 😇
Luckily her former neighbor was on her way to visit mom and stumbled on her two blocks of her former house ❤️

5 Tips for Talking with Someone Living with Alzheimer’s.
🧬🗣️ Researchers at #Vanderbilt University Medical Center analyzed genetic #data from over one million 23andMe users and identified 48 genes associated with stuttering, confirming it's a neurological condition rather than a behavioral or emotional problem.
The research found genetic connections between stuttering and #autism, #depression, and musicality, with the strongest male-associated gene (VRK2) also linked to ability to clap on beat and #language decline in #Alzheimers disease.

A groundbreaking discovery is giving new hope to patients with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Scientists have developed tiny antibodies capable of rapidly targeting harmful protein clumps that drive these neurodegenerative diseases. These protein aggregates, such as beta-amyloid in Alzheimer’s and alpha-synuclein in Parkinson’s, disrupt brain cells and lead to memory loss, tremors, and cognitive decline.
Unlike traditional therapies, these miniature antibodies can penetrate brain tissue more efficiently and clear the toxic proteins faster. Early lab studies show they can neutralise and remove clumps before they cause severe damage, potentially slowing or even preventing disease progression.
This innovation could pave the way for faster, more effective treatments that go straight to the root cause of these devastating conditions. By using these tiny antibodies, researchers hope to develop therapies that are both powerful and precise, offering patients a better quality of life and renewed hope for the future.
While human trials are still needed, this breakthrough marks a significant step toward fighting diseases that have long eluded effective treatment. The combination of speed, precision, and targeted action makes these tiny antibodies one of the most promising advancements in neurodegenerative research.
