"...Dr. Richard Lokudi, the hospital director, said that he and his staff have faced serious resistance from the local community, often from people who don't believe that Ebola is real. This is making tracing contacts of suspected Ebola cases particularly difficult.

The research suggests that breathing polluted air over the course of more than a decade tends to harm semantic memory, which is the brain's ability to recall general knowledge and facts. These findings may help explain why there are racial disparities in dementia risk in the United States.
