Pretty sure everyone needs to see this.

I mean. I'm dead serious. We have all known someone with Alzheimers/Dementia, or substance abuse.

If the topic isn’t re-hashing Covid angst from 4 years ago or pics of female Olympic athletes in short shorts, nobody “needs” to see shit, good sir.
Can't say I didn't try to do my humane link of the day
I like it, Jimmy. This board is full of wisdom and insight. Mostly.
Caught this Sunday. Wife and I were pretty awed.
Granted, it comes with overly optimistic thoughts from the doctors on their work.
The addiction stuff I’m a little less sold on as being more Placebo.

They’re targeting very specific neuro segments with ultrasonic rays and seeing noticeable scan progression and lessened (anecdotal) symptoms in trial patients
Trial patients for what? Sorry to ask you, but the OP failed miserably. I assume he's high again.
Early Alzheimer’s treatment
Video (after the overly long ads) was 60 minutes segment of essentially this article
The hope for early detection and prevention of Alzheimer's disease
Dr. Ali Rezai told 60 Minutes that new developments in blood testing could help doctors identify patients who are at risk for Alzheimer's disease.

I think you're high, or need to be. It's in the video and his next post.
If you can't watch 25 minutes on something that is going to change world, I don't trust you in your job. Just watch it my friend.
I do, you just don't appreciate the attention span of the average American.What? And no. How can you not support this research?
Title: Pretty sure everyone needs to see this.
Text of the first post: I"d love MDs and scientists to throw in their opinions.
He lost me after that.
Only part way into the video here - is he using the US to weaken the blood-brain-barrier and allow more medicine uptake to target the plaques?
If that's the deal, seems plausible if you can target w/ the US safely.
US has been used for lots of stuff (even thermal ablation, which is referred to as HIFU - high intensity focused ultrasound).
Would be curious if the US actually works to allow more of the target drugs into the areas that the plaques accumulate, and if that plaque breakdown then helps delay symptom progression.

Much more useful than a 26 min video- It does appear they are using ultrasound (US) to make the blood-brain barrier more permeable to the drugs delivered intravenously.
That's a neat idea, although an expensive one for treating individual patients. If it works, then it demonstrates the drugs approved CAN delay Alzheimers if they can come up w/ a way to get them through the B-B barrier more effectively and w/o needing an MRI and US therapy. Anything that requires MRI use as a 'treatment' - particularly if that is an ongoing, regular, treatment will not remotely be cost-effective.
Ngl watched like 3 min, ffwd to the part that said something like 12 out of 15 are drug free 3 years post trial.
In.
Comparing to neurostim w/ Parkinson's is not a good apples-apples here.
Neurostimulation works well, and once you do the surgery and put in the implant, your treatment is easy and no new interventions.
If this US drug delivery requires MRI and repeated US treatments every time you're infused w/ the drug, that's $1000s spent "per treatment", and you have to keep treating to delay progression.
If it work, good "proof of concept" that the drug formulations CAN be effective, but they will need a more cost-effective delivery method to bypass the B-B barrier to bring this to "average" people.

At 6 min in the video, treating the tremor was a "HIFU" thing - they "ablated" the neurons responsible for the tremor.
That is a 1-time treatment and doubt it is a recurring treatment; that is "cost effective", as it may have cured the guy of his tremor.
