A blood test for #dementia may tell you if you have more than one type
The experimental test could help doctors spot overlapping #brain #diseases
The test measures the levels of 15 proteins in the blood to help diagnose four major neurodegenerative diseases — #Alzheimer’s, #Parkinson’s, frontotemporal dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies. And it can determine if a person has more than one of those diseases with 92.3% accuracy.

It also calls for the development of more alternative adjuvants to aluminum. Adjuvants are ingredients added to #vaccines that help the body produce an immune response to offer protection from #diseases.

Some high-level #FDA ofcls last year believed it would be infeasible to take aluminum adjuvants out of vaccines & couldn’t be done on a practical timeline.

Under the plan, #vaccines against 11 #diseases — including measles, mumps, rubella, polio & whooping cough — would be recommended for all #children. Vaccines against several other diseases, including hepatitis A & B and meningococcal disease, would be recommended for certain high-risk groups or through shared decision-making between #parents & #doctors. Influenza & coronavirus vaccines would also fall into the shared decision-making category.

God's favorite animal strikes back!

"A new genomic analysis of the mosquito, called Anopheles stephensi, using specimens collected from 10 countries, showed that those found in Africa had genetic resistance to all of the chemicals currently used in spraying campaigns and other mosquito-control efforts, meaning those insecticides will not kill it."

"Diseases
today reveal our close ties to animals. Viruses leap from bats to camels to humans. Cats catch the flu, and tourists pass tuberculosis to elephants. In recent years, however, something has changed. Exploitation of the environment is causing more diseases to jump species than ever before — a threat to life that rivals climate change. The science is clear: the cause of this great acceleration is us."

"In Sentinels, Michael Dulaney takes readers from southern China to the Andes, from the Arctic to Australia, to tell the gripping stories of the people and animals at the forefront of this enormous change. Dulaney joins ecologists tracking flying foxes through Australia’s eastern forests, and frog hunters netting endangered species on Indonesian mountains. Along the way, we meet lemmings that resist global warming, coastal seals with bird flu, and genetically engineered disease-proof pigs."

"...Sentinels is an essential reckoning with our intimate connection to nature, and a call to build a fairer world for all." >>

While the latest national data shows that about 93% of kindergartners have received the #MMR shot, that protection is uneven∶ Some communities have #vaccination rates approaching 100%, while others have rates below 80%.

#Measles, one of the most #contagious #diseases, is exceptionally good at exploiting those pockets with weak immunity.
