Does this look right to you?
Let me take you down a rabbit hole to illustrate how a network of interlacing problems in Alzheimer’s disease research ethics impacts our progress on this disease.

New paper alert: A two-cutoff CSF Aβ42/40 approach improves Aβ detection in real world clinical settings. CSF Aβ42/40≥7.1 rules out amyloid, while ratios~5.5–7.1 benefit from Aβ PET. Key for Lecanemab stratification. #Alzheimers #Biomarkers

Let’s talk about Donald Trump and his new Attorney General pick Pam Bondi, because boy do we have a story to tell

[Alzforum @alzforum]

At #CTAD24, biomarker data suggest black and Hispanic people are less likely to have amyloid. Some suspect that comorbidities might contribute to cognitive decline. https://t.co/NSoQ1NXyMb

Too many ppl, including MDs, don't know about Lewy despite >1.4 million in the US, #2 most common type of dementia. We need more awareness

I wouldn't start infusing everyone w iron or even supplementing w pills, but I do expect Fe homeostasis to be a more common target for dementia research in the years ahead

🧵 This is the iron molecule.

As a psychiatrist, an iron infusion is one of the most common interventions I implement!

Here’s why psychiatrists should know it better. Let's journey into ADHD and RLS for this thread: 👇

Medicine focuses a lot on the question “will this help my patient” but not on the question “when will it help my patient.” The latter becomes important as we age. We’ve developed a “time-to-benefit” tool on https://t.co/pNX59QfR17 to help answer this question.

[Eric Widera, MD @EWidera]

From pre-diabetes to Alzheimer’s disease in the cognitively normal, there is an ongoing push to label healthy individuals as sick. Who benefits from this and who is harmed? One of my favorite med journalism articles of 2024 dives into the debate.
