  + stars: | 2023-09-20 | by ( Ellen Gabler | Steve Eder | Allie Pitchon | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
In interviews, doctors at several other hospitals said they also used Burst’s products and expressed surprise that the F.D.A. Dr. Sandhu said he had used the product on at least 50 patients, thought it worked well and hadn’t detected any problems. He recalled that for some patients, insurance covered Burst treatment, which typically cost thousands of dollars. He said he would have notified patients had the F.D.A. He said he got off to a good start working for Dr. Härtl, but their standoff over the Burst research soured their relationship.

☆ Medicare proposes removing limit on PET scans used to help diagnose Alzheimer's disease
  + stars: | 2023-07-18 | by ( Spencer Kimball | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
Right now, the program for seniors will only cover one PET scan per lifetime for patients participating in clinical trials. The Medicare proposal would allow regional organizations, called Medicare Administrative Contractors, to decide whether to cover the diagnostic tool. It is still unclear when the decision on PET scans will be finalized. PET scans are a crucial diagnostic tool that detect an amyloid protein on the brain that is associated with Alzheimer's disease. People on Medicare generally pay 20% of the cost of a PET scan after meeting their deductible.

☆ I was a scholarship kid at an elite boarding school. It changed my life, but I'd never send my own kids away.

Kelly Johnson-Arbor said boarding school stabilized her life and helped her overcome shyness. While she had a positive experience, she decided not to send her own children to boarding school. The school gave me extra confidence and a great education, but I don't think boarding school is the right fit for everyone. She had friends who sent their kids to boarding schools, and she wanted me to have that experience. My children are 10 and 12, and given their more comfortable upbringing, I couldn't picture sending them away to boarding school.

☆ Sales of Alzheimer’s drug Leqembi may be slow initially but could pick up in 2024
  + stars: | 2023-07-07 | by ( Annika Kim Constantino | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Sales of the Alzheimer's drug Leqembi may be slow initially due to logistical requirements but could pick up in 2024, analysts said after the groundbreaking treatment won approval in the U.S.Wall Street is chewing over the Food and Drug Administration's Thursday approval of Leqembi – a milestone in the treatment of the disease, even though the drug isn't a cure. Leqembi, from drugmakers Eisai and Biogen , is the first medicine proven to slow the progression of Alzheimer's in people at the early stages of the memory-robbing disease. Yee added that the firm's channel checks suggest doctors see the registry requirement "as a potential real-world challenge – at least in the initial phase." That includes navigating Medicare's registry requirement and coordinating PET scans and MRIs to screen for dangerous side effects of the drug. But Goodman, like other analysts, also noted that "we continue to expect a slow ramp in 2023 and acceleration moving into 2024."

At the age of 17, Emily launched a neighborhood book drive in honor of her dad, Mike Bhatnagar. Her initial goal was to collect books for children undergoing cancer treatment, but she’s expanded it to all patients under 18. The neighborhood book drive that began with a lone teen in a cloud of despair over her dad’s illness has grown into a nationwide initiative. “We are grateful to have been chosen by Emily … Hospitals are a scary place for kids, and the books will help enhance the healing environment.”Whenever possible, Emily specifies the books go to hospitals with pediatric cancer units. Her not-so-little book drive is teaching her how to run a nonprofit and build relationships with community leaders.
