The company told Reuters that 49% of Black volunteers did not meet the trial's amyloid threshold requirements compared to 22% for whites and 55% for Hispanics. "Is it because MCI (mild cognitive impairment) or early dementia type-symptoms in Blacks are caused by other reasons more so than Alzheimer's?" In 96 dementia trials from 2000-2017, diverse populations only made up around 11% of enrollment, according to a 2018 study. Among Black people who died of Alzheimer's, their dementia was more likely to result from multiple causes, such as vascular disease. "Is it that it's not Alzheimer's disease?

It was shown in May and in fuller Phase 3 clinical trial results released at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference on Monday to delay the disease’s progression. More than 6 million Americans are estimated to have Alzheimer’s disease, with about 1 million estimated to be in the early symptomatic stages where these drugs have shown benefit. Both Leqembi and donanemab work by clearing buildups of a protein in the brain called amyloid, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s. It’s been a hypothesis that treating Alzheimer’s earlier with amyloid-clearing drugs would yield better results; Skovronsky said the donanemab trial bore that out. “We could look at people who had mild cognitive impairment, MCI, which is the earliest stage, versus mild Alzheimer’s versus moderate Alzheimer’s,” Skovronsky explained.

MADRID, May 22 (Reuters) - Real Madrid have lodged a hate crime complaint with Spanish prosecutors over racist chants hurled at Brazilian player Vinicius Jr during Sunday's match at Valencia's Mestalla stadium, the club said in a statement on Monday. "Real Madrid C.F. shows its strongest rejection and condemns the events that occurred yesterday against our player Vinicius Jr," it said. The attacks, in its view, "constitute a hate crime" for which the club has filed a complaint with the State Attorney General's Office, the club said.

Some Chinatown residents benefited from the development boom, selling properties to developers or drawing more customers from increased foot traffic. Some residents have shown tentative support for the luxury buildings, saying they might make the neighborhood safer or bring in wealthier Asian residents who could boost Chinatown's economy. Manhattan Chinatown's housing stock is "really aged," which has led to costly fires, according to Thomas Yu, executive director of Asian Americans for Equality. Chinatowns and the pandemicMany debates surrounding luxury development and affordable housing were accelerated by the pandemic, which shuttered hundreds of businesses across Chinatowns. However, business owners who spoke with CNBC said Chinatown's businesses, though still recovering, are keeping the city's culture alive.

Mark Cuban said there's still some underlying value in crypto despite the ongoing sell-off. "99% of it was noise but there's real value there," he told 'The Problem with Jon Stewart' Monday. Cuban added that Sam Bankman-Fried's arrest on fraud charges will force crypto to "get its act together". "There's the signal and the noise," Cuban told Apple TV+'s "The Problem with Jon Stewart". Stablecoin issuer Terra and hedge fund Three Arrows Capital collapsed earlier in 2022 as the crypto selloff brought to light potential instabilities in the digital asset sector.

It involved 1,795 adults, ages 50 to 90, with mild cognitive impairment due to early Alzheimer’s disease or mild Alzheimer’s disease-related dementia. Such a score is consistent with early Alzheimer’s disease, with a higher number associated with more cognitive impairment. By 18 months, the CDR-SB score went up 1.21 points in the lecanemab group, compared with 1.66 in the placebo group. Overall, there were serious adverse events in 14% of the lecanemab group and 11.3% of the placebo group. The researchers also wrote that about 0.7% of participants in the lecanemab group and 0.8% of those in the placebo group died, corresponding to six deaths documented in the lecanemab group and seven in the placebo group.

☆ Alzheimer’s drug slows progression of cognitive decline in clinical trial, drugmakers say

CNN —A monoclonal antibody treatment for Alzheimer’s disease called lecanemab slows the progression of cognitive decline by 27% compared with a placebo, drugmakers Biogen and Eisai said Tuesday. Alzheimer’s is a very heterogeneous disease.”But he says that does not diminish the potential significance of the trial. “In the past, reducing amyloid in the brain has not always been tied to cognitive improvements or any meaningful clinical improvements. Biogen is also the company behind another Alzheimer’s drug, Aduhelm, which was controversially approved by the FDA in June 2021. Aduhelm was the first new Alzheimer’s drug approved in nearly 20 years, but there were questions about its efficacy and cost.

Orașul Innsbruck nu este foarte mare, în schimb este unul special, foarte colorat și înconjurat de munți. Muzeul este unul modern, diferit, conține mai multe camere, fiecare având un stil și o atmosferă aparte. Este cel de-al doilea lac după mărime din orașul Innsbruck, cu o arie de 2,8 hectare. Cu siguranță, Innsbruck și împrejurimile sale au mult mai multe locuri frumoase pe care abia aștept să le descopăr. Sunt curioasă să cunosc fiecare colțișor al acestui oraș și să mă bucur de frumusețea acestuia.”Autoare: Caroline Dascal

Ce platforme utilizează o facultate de Business și Management din Austria în predarea online și care sunt beneficiile lor, ne povestește Caroline DascalCaroline Dascal este studentă la Business și Management, Management Center Innsbruck (MCI) din orașul Innsbruck, Austria, care ne-a relatat despre programele utilizate de către studenți și profesori pentru însușirea mai eficientă a materialului predat online. Miro BoardEste o platformă absolut gratuită și foarte colorată unde profesorii publică materialele necesare cursului, precum tabele, scheme, videoclipuri informative. Profesorii folosesc această aplicație pentru a explica materialul prin desene și scheme, deoarece sunt reprezentate destul de clar și vizibil pentru studenți. Într-adevăr, este o platformă utilă care ușurează viața studenților, dar doar în cazul în care știi cum corect se folosește. Fiind o platformă destul de complexă, trebuie să o analizezi și să o înveți din greu pentru ca nu doar să o înțelegi, dar și ca să o poți folosi.”Autoare: Caroline Dascal

☆ Universitatea #diez. De ce studenții din Austria se bucură de nota unu și cum au loc examenele la o facultate de Business Management din Innsbruck

Un curs durează o lună sau două, după care susținem examenele și începem un nou curs. Majoritatea examenelor sunt constituite din două, în unele cazuri chiar și în trei părți: partea orală, care de obicei constituie 40 % din nota finală, și partea scrisă, ce constituie 60 %. Astfel, dacă studentul a comis o greșeală sau nu a reușit să rezolve exercițiile obligatorii, acest exercițiu poate salva situația. Dacă și la a doua încercare studentul eșuează acumulând mai puțin de 60 %, lui i se oferă și o a treia șansă. Cea de a treia șansă este realizată oral, în prezența profesorului, a doi-trei asistenți și a șefului de catedră.

De aici vine importanța studierii cu atenție a specialității alese, a condițiilor de admitere și a corespunderii profilului personal cu facultatea. În plus, orașul se află la frontieră cu Belgia și e în apropierea unor orașe importante precum Paris, Bruxelles, Londra, Amsterdam. Pe lângă facultate, a făcut și voluntariat, astfel a „început să cocheteze” mult cu marketingul. Trăind într-un studio în apropierea cartierului european, a fost încă un plus pentru începutul unei noi etape în viața mea. Dar faptul de a cunoaște și limba franceză (una dintre cele doua limbi de stat) a fost o mare ușurare pentru a comunica.
