Swedish research on dementia, led by prominent researchers such as Miia Kivipelto, is making significant progress and developing innovative drugs, even though dementia care in Sweden still has major shortcomings according to Liselotte Jansson, Secretary General of the Alzheimer Foundation. #demensforskning #svenskvård #hjärnhälsa (translated)

A new study from the Institute of Reconstructive Neurobiology in Bonn has demonstrated that it is possible to cellularly rejuvenate the precursors of red blood cells from an eighty-year-old, transforming them into neural stem cells with a molecular age of less than twenty years, opening new perspectives for tackling Alzheimer’s and cognitive decline. #Alzheimer #celleStaminali #ricercaMedica (translated)

The author stated that if a parent died without leaving instructions about the funeral, the family could choose burial, a tomb, or cremation, but not donate the body to science, even if the person had died from a disease that required further investigation, such as Alzheimer's. #funeral #ciência #Alzheimer #PT (translated)

Alex_politics stated that in the EU, Spain had created one of the most effective and inexpensive treatments for leukemia, and that two drugs had been developed to slow down Alzheimer's and two others that, according to him, provided 99% immunity against HIV. He also pointed out that patients with paralysis had regained the ability to walk thanks to spinal implants. In contrast, he lamented that there was no car capable of doing backflips over a truck and described the situation as a tie. #Salud #Ciencia #Innovación (translated)

A Finnish study reveals that the early signs of Alzheimer's disease in working-age individuals, such as depression, dizziness, and hearing problems, can appear as much as 15 years before diagnosis, and that the use of healthcare services increases particularly five years prior to diagnosis. #Alzheimer #terveys #muistisairaus (translated)

The article examines the claim made by Member of Parliament Mari Holopainen that many 70-year-old Finns suffer from dementia, and presents research data indicating that diagnosed dementia patients accounted for approximately 3.1 percent of Finns aged 65–74 in 2021. #Muistisairaudet #Alzheimer #Ikääntyminen (translated)

Researchers at the Pasteur Institute are studying the impact of the intestinal and nasal microbiota on brain diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and depression, with promising preliminary results in mice, but still needing validation in humans before therapeutic applications. #Microbiote #MaladiesDuCerveau #RechercheScientifique (translated)

Pierre Barnérias expressed concern about the disappearance of Professor Fourtillan, whom he described as being 81 years old and then 82 years old. He stated that Fourtillan had been untraceable since June 2026, that he had not appeared at his trial nor at the hearing on October 1 where he was sentenced to four years in prison, and that an arrest warrant had been issued. Barnérias recalled that Fourtillan had been involuntarily hospitalized in a psychiatric facility in Ajaccio in December 2025. According to the information he mentioned, Fourtillan's children had requested this hospitalization out of concern for him. Barnérias said he had not found the date of his discharge and questioned the circumstances of his disappearance. He also indicated that Fourtillan was being prosecuted for organizing unauthorized clinical trials on nearly 400 people, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's patients. The author compared the sentence to what he presented as millions of healthy victims caused by the Covid vaccine. He also mentioned Fourtillan's participation in the film *Hold-Up* and the deaths or withdrawal from public life of several people associated with the film, while noting that this proved nothing. Barnérias said he hoped that Fourtillan was alive and would be found quickly. #Justice #Santé #Disparition (translated)

Dennis Riehle reported back after a longer hospital stay, stating that the examinations had shown that his Parkinson's syndrome was not due to a neurodegenerative process. A genetic cause had most likely been identified. The underlying disease impairs and damages the body's energy cells. Although it progresses more slowly than classical forms of Parkinson's, it affects multiple organs and is more difficult to treat, he wrote. Riehle described the most significant finding as a severe neurocognitive disorder, which he characterized as a form of dementia. In his case, it manifests primarily as difficulties in finding words and fluid speech. For about half a year, he has therefore found it harder to write texts. However, he wants to continue and keep posting on X – presumably less frequently and irregularly, but as much as possible in his usual style. #Parkinson #Gesundheit #Demenz (translated)
