It's like Alzheimer's... But progresses slowly. It's like Alzheimer's... With a better prognosis. The Mayo Clinic recently announced a groundbreaking discovery that could change the lives of countless older adults and their families. Limbic-predominant Amnestic Neurodegenerative Syndrome (LANS) is a newly defined memory loss syndrome that specifically impacts the brain's limbic system. Unlike Alzheimer's, it progresses more slowly and offers a better prognosis. One potential cause of LANS is the buildup of the TDP-45 protein in the limbic system, which is different from the pathology of Alzheimer's disease. This discovery improves diagnostic accuracy and opens new avenues for research and treatment. The criteria for LANS were validated using data from over 200 participants from the Mayo Clinic Alzheimer's Disease Research Center and other studies. This new framework allows for more precise treatment decisions and better patient counseling. Practitioners can now offer better care and more personalized treatment options for patients experiencing memory loss.

The first-of-its-kind alliance moves into new regions to transform global healthcare and improve access, diagnostics and treatments for patients everywhere.

Our Annual US Hospital Rankings for Best in Oncology Patient Experience have been released. Link: https://lnkd.in/grbHtpt3 Our rankings are based on an in-depth analysis of over 600 eligible hospitals and clinics nationwide and more than 30 million unique online patient comments. Leading the way is Cincinnati Children's Hospital with a PEP Score of 4.95, followed by runners-up, Piedmont Healthcare and Providence St. Joseph Health. With an average score of 4.91, the key drivers of success among the top 20 healthcare facilities are: • Continuity of Care: Smooth transitions within and across healthcare facilities, and continuity throughout the healthcare journey. • Fast Access: Efficiency and ease of access to healthcare services, including timely appointments and availability of relevant healthcare professionals. • Communication & Involvement: Clear information, communication, and active involvement of patients and loved ones in decisions around their care.

A simple spritz into the nose... Reversal of Alzheimer's symptoms... A new nasal spray developed by researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch shows promise in mouse models by targeting the pathological tau deposits responsible for Alzheimer's disease. The novel approach circumvents the struggle faced by today's treatment modalities: Penetrating the blood-brain barrier. A monoclonal antibody named "toxic tau conformation-specific monoclonal antibody-2" (TTCM2) is encapsulated in lipid micelles, allowing it to reach the brain with greater efficiency. The key findings of the experiment included a reduction in tau accumulation and improved cognitive function. This marks a significant step forward in the fight against Alzheimer's disease and other tau-related neurodegenerative disorders. It offers hope for new, non-invasive therapies that could potentially reverse or slow the progression of dementia in humans.

Why not use technology to improve the continuity of care? This article on digitally enabled Transitional Care Management in oncology sheds light on how remote patient monitoring (RPM) can support patients post-discharge. Here’s why it’s a game-changer: - Enhanced Patient Support: RPM allows patients to report symptoms in real-time from home, enabling faster interventions and reducing the need for emergency visits. This approach has led to a remarkable 84% satisfaction rate among participants. - Reducing Readmissions: By closely monitoring patients in their first 10 days post-discharge, the program achieved a 5.8% drop in 30-day readmissions, pointing toward significant potential savings and improved patient outcomes. - Value-Based Care: Programs like this support cost-effective, patient-centered care, reducing unnecessary readmissions and empowering patients in their recovery.
