Thickened Liquids for Older Adults is Likely a Useless Therapy, but a Current Study Cannot Prove It. https://t.co/Pd5eWNF3G7 Thank you #sensiblemedicine for the nice article @FeinsteinIMR @NorthwellHealth @nytimes @JAMAInternalMed

Nice patient-centered perspective on Lecanemab for dementia. Are we selling a false hope to patients and their loved ones? https://t.co/5y7JQFrK7b

In hospitalized patients with Alzheimer disease and related dementias and oropharyngeal dysphagia, no difference seen in mortality rates between patients receiving thick vs thin liquids. https://t.co/jKq9oueBSa

Thank you @EWidera for this insightful editorial highlighting our new publication in @JAMA_current Thick Liquids and Clinical Outcomes in Hospitalized Patients With Alzheimer Disease and Related Dementias and Dysphagia https://t.co/O8tiyenFiS @HofNorthwellDOM @FeinsteinIMR

[Eric Widera, MD @EWidera]

Dementia is littered with interventions like thickened liquids & PEG tubes that became standard of practice on theoretical benefits without clinical evidence. My editorial in @JAMAInternalMed gives 3 recs to consider if thinking about thickened liquids
