ER Boarding Crisis Impacts Dementia Patients
A data analysis reveals that "ER boarding," where patients wait hours or even days in emergency rooms for admission, disproportionately impacts older adults with dementia; this issue is driven by systemic problems within the US healthcare system, including a shortage of beds and financial incentives...

EU Approves First Alzheimer's Disease Treatment Targeting Disease Processes
The European Commission approved Lecanemab, a new Alzheimer's treatment targeting disease processes, for use in the EU; although effective in slowing progression in early stages for a small subset of patients, it is not a cure and its long-term effects remain uncertain.

Excessive Alcohol Consumption Linked to Increased Risk of Brain Damage
A study of over 1700 deceased individuals found that drinking eight or more alcoholic beverages weekly significantly increases the risk of hyaline arteriolosclerosis, a brain condition impacting memory and cognition; even former heavy drinkers showed increased risk.

17 Modifiable Risk Factors Linked to Dementia, Stroke, and Late-Life Depression
Harvard researchers found 17 modifiable risk factors shared by dementia, stroke, and late-life depression, with high blood pressure and kidney disease showing the greatest impact; conversely, physical activity and leisure time cognitive activity showed the lowest risk.

EU Approves Lecanemab for Early-Stage Alzheimer's; Strict Criteria Apply
The European Commission approved Lecanemab, a new Alzheimer's drug targeting amyloid plaques, for patients with minimal cognitive impairment and low ApoE4 gene copies; it offers a five-month delay in cognitive decline but is restricted due to potential side effects.

Long Covid Linked to Increased Dementia Risk in Older Adults
New research indicates a significantly increased risk of dementia among those with long Covid, particularly among older adults experiencing persistent symptoms; studies show a four-to-fivefold increase in dementia cases among this demographic compared to those without long-term Covid complications.
