Dementia affects more women than men worldwide .Menopausal hormone therapy was positively associated with development of all cause #dementia & #alzheimersdisease even in women who received treatment at the age of 55 yrs or younger.

A very thoughtful and accurate read of the #lecanemab results:

Also, I did not realize that the most recent gantenerumab study had failed.

Here's the primary outcome, cognition as measured by the Clinical Dementia Rating scale, Sum of Box (CDR-SB), an 18-point rating scale.
Over 18 months, CDR-SB worsened by 1.21 points with #lecanemab & 1.66 with placebo, a difference of 0.45.
Not impressive, for an IV infusion given every 2 weeks for 18 months.

Kudos to UWSMPH medical student Miguel Recinos, who presented a poster today describing
"A web-based curriculum to enhance medical students' knowledge & attitudes for care of persons with #dementia"
Miguel worked with our team at Wisconsin Alzheimer's Institute last summer and took the lead on analyzing and presenting the results of this project.

As an assistant professor, I focus mostly on signal and image processing in neuroscience applications. My platforms of choice are #FSL #SPM #EEGLAB #PsychoPy #MATLAB #R and #Python Programming. I also have worked in #ComputationalNeuroscience, particularly in simulating neural networks with Hodgkin-Huxley equations. That was some years ago, but mathematical modeling never gets old!

I am now editing our manuscript on the use of academic detailing to improve the care of persons with behavioral & psychological symptoms of #dementia in primary care.
I am so grateful to my colleagues at the Wisconsin Alzheimer's Institute & to our community partners at Milwaukee Health Service, Inc., & Richland Medical Center.
