☆ Weight-loss drugs could stave off dementia, small study finds
  + stars: | 2024-07-30 | by ( Hilary Brueck | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Today, a group of dementia researchers from the UK released some early results that suggest it's possible these trendy injections might also stall the progression of dementia. A daily injection for brain preservationIuliia Burmistrova/Getty ImagesFor the study, researchers spent a year tracking brain changes across 204 Alzheimer's patients with mild to moderate disease. "It sounds like it is worth pursuing a larger trial, but these results cannot demonstrate that liraglutide can protect against dementia." Experts have seen how dementia patients' brains get worse and worse at efficiently using glucose for energy as their disease progresses, but the calculus is always complicated. Bigger studies using more powerful GLP-1 drugs for dementia are already ongoing.

☆ As Ukraine plans its recovery, a climate group has a seat at the table

These are goals that the group says would put Ukraine in a position to no longer be dependent on fossil fuels. In rebuilding, the nation must decide whether it wants to return to fossil fuels, or build a cleaner, greener economy, Ustenko said. For some climate activists, Russia’s war in Ukraine has served as a call to action in a decadeslong climate emergency. Romanko said many nations have failed to do what is necessary: halt the use of all fossil fuels, as quickly as possible. She cited the plans released in March by the International Energy Agency to cut reliance on Russian fossil fuels, and fossil fuels overall, in 10 steps; no government has implemented these strategies, she said.
