Cancer and Alzheimer’s disease are two of the most feared diagnoses in medicine, but they rarely strike the same person. A new study in mice suggests that certain cancers may actually send a protective signal to the brain that helps clear away the toxic protein clumps linked to Alzheimer’s disease.

* @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...

Rep. Sydney #KamlagerDove (D-CA) on Dec 4 2025 said that Trump
is showing signs he’s taking the #Alzheimers disease drug #Leqembi
“The Alzheimer’s drug Leqembi is administered through an infusion
(for example, through the hand)
Can cause swelling, bleeding, or fluid leakage in the brain, requiring regular #MRI
Can cause tiredness" #rawstory
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.

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
