Mutter (Mein bestes Foto 2025)

* @FotoVorschlag I’ve been following #FotoVorschlag for a long time, but I’ve never participated in it. Today however, I decided to make this entry.

I've never published this before, but it is my all-time favorite from last year. It was the morning my mom left her house for the last time. I woke up in the spare bedroom as the sun rose. She sat on the bed next to me and started reading stories...

An elderly woman is shown reading a book. Her head is tilted down toward a book that she is holding in her hands. The woman's light-colored hair is short and wavy, and she is wearing glasses with thin, dark frames. Her skin is fair and shows some sunspots on her face and hands. She is wearing a light-colored, long-sleeved shirt with a purple floral pattern and a ruffled neckline. Her hands are wrinkled and have sunspots, and she is wearing a gold ring on her left ring finger. The book she is holding has a white cover with a colorful illustration and the text "GODFRIED BOMANS" on it.

For Trump's current cognitive state there's another Texasism that might apply.

Alzheimer's disease is a specific brain disease that causes a gradual decline in memory and cognitive functions, while dementia is a broader term that describes a range of symptoms affecting memory, thinking, and behavior. Alzheimer's is the most common type of dementia, but there are other forms as well.

A new study that takes advantage of a change in availability of the shingles (*Herpes zoster*) vaccine in Wales finds that vaccination reduces dementia symptoms in those already diagnosed with the disease, and reduced deaths from dementia by approximately 30% over the following nine years.

All too often, people living with dementia can become overwhelmed by the seeming cacophony. Sometimes, we can offer a focal point through our calm and reassurance. We can provide peace amid the storm.

"If you really listen," said Big Panda, "you can hear the raindrops gently splashing on the stone. It's possible to find a little peace, even in a storm." — "My head feels like this storm sometimes," said Tiny Dragon.

University of New Mexico #scientist is revealing what might be one of the most overlooked causes of #dementia — damage in the #brain tiny #bloodvessels. Dr. Elaine Bearer has created a new way to classify these changes, showing that many people diagnosed with #Alzheimers also suffer from #vascular damage that quietly destroys #brain tissue. Even more surprising, she’s finding #microplastics inside the brain that appear linked to #inflammation & #memory loss. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/10/251005085637.htm #healthcare
