Four Virginians were confirmed to be onboard when the Titanic sank on April 14, 1912. Phillip Acts and Selini Decker, who lived a few blocks apart in Norfolk, died when the ship sank. Richmond native Robert Decker and Eloise Smith, who later moved to Richmond from West Virginia, survived.

Scientists in America have developed a nasal spray that can remove proteins in the brain associated with Alzheimer’s disease – at least, in mice. There are two proteins implicated in Alzheimer’s: amyloid and tau. Most of the drugs – included those recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – focus on removing amyloid. To date, though, there has been little focus on removing tau “tangles”. However, the new nasal spray, developed by researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch, focuses on this protein.

Dementia is a condition that affects cognitive abilities, but memory is not the first thing to go, and there are symptoms that appear before memory loss

Five early dementia symptoms you'll notice before memory loss

Visual hallucinations are a significant issue for many patients with Parkinson’s disease. A recent study published in the journal Brain reveals that these hallucinations are associated with a marked deficiency of cholinergic activity in specific regions of the brain, particularly the left ventral visual stream and the left superior temporal lobe. This research highlights the importance of cholinergic denervation in visual hallucinations, offering new insights into the underlying mechanisms and potential treatment options.

The early signs of dementia in women include memory loss and confusion. Dementia is a collective term that describes various symptoms of cognitive decline, such as forgetfulness, confusion, and changes in behavior. It is not a specific disease but a group of conditions characterized by impairment of at least two brain functions, such as memory loss and judgment.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

Researchers at Mayo Clinic have established new criteria for a memory-loss syndrome in older adults that speciﬁcally impacts the brain's limbic system. It can often be mistaken for Alzheimer disease. However, limbic-predominant Amnestic Neurodegenerative Syndrome, or LANS, progresses more slowly and has a better prognosis, and is now more clearly deﬁned for doctors working to ﬁnd answers for memory loss patients.

A blood test can determine whether memory loss is caused by Alzheimer’s disease with more than 90 percent accuracy, according to a new study published Sunday. A group of researchers at Lund University in Sweden found that a cutting-edge blood test can significantly outperform diagnoses from both primary care and specialist doctors. The study, published…

Secondary symptoms of PD can be as debilitating as the primary motor symptoms, often leading to increased disability, reduced independence, and a higher burden on caregivers. Parkinson disease (PD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder involving multiple neurotransmitter pathways in the brain and autonomic nervous system, has been typically characterized by motor symptoms including tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural reflex disturbance. Although these dopaminergic motor symptoms are a major part of the clinical management of the disease, a growing number of patients have expressed that the nonmotor, secondary symptoms affect their quality of life even more.

Months after actor and comedian Robin Williams took his own life in August 2014, autopsy results revealed he had a devastating disease: Lewy body dementia (LBD). Unlike Alzheimer's disease and even frontotemporal dementia, this brain disorder has tended to hide in the shadows. But work is underway to change that, says Dr. Stephen Gomperts, an assistant professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School and director of the Lewy Body Dementia Unit at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital.
