Researchers believe new findings about a form of cellular suicide gives new ideas for treating Alzheimer's
Scientists discover how brain cells die in Alzheimer’s
LONDON — Scientists in the UK and Belgium think they have figured out how brain cells die in Alzheimer's disease.It has been a mystery and a source of scientific debate for decades.But the team, writing in the journal Science, connects the abnormal proteins that build up in the brain with "necroptosis"— a form of cellular suicide.The findings have been described as "cool" and "exciting", as they give new ideas for treating the disease.It is the loss of brain cells, called neurons, that lead to the symptoms of Alzheimer's, including memory loss.And if you look inside the brains of people with the disease you'd see the build-up of abnormal proteins called amyloid and tau.But scientists have not been able to join the dots between these key traits...

Worry at antibiotics overuse at India's Kumbh Mela
NEW DELHI — What does the biggest gathering of humanity on Earth have to do with antibiotics?Quite a bit, evidently.Researchers from US-based institutes, supported by Lakshmi Mittal and Family South Asia Institute at Harvard University and Unicef, have found that clinics at India's Kumbh Mela, a Hindu festival and the world's largest religious gathering, have prescribed an excessive amount of antibiotics to the tens of thousands of pilgrims, primarily arriving with respiratory tract infections.The more antibiotics are used, the higher the risk of developing what doctors refer to as "antimicrobial resistance".

Long Covid can take different forms but why it develops remains unclear
Brain fog after Covid linked to blood clots — Study
LONDON — Blood clots in the brain or the lungs might explain some common symptoms of "long Covid", including brain fog and fatigue, a UK study suggests.In the study, of 1,837 people admitted to hospital because of Covid, researchers say two blood proteins point to clots being one cause.It is thought 16% of such patients have trouble thinking, concentrating, or remembering for at least six months.Long Covid can also develop after milder infections.But the research team, from the universities of Oxford and Leicester, stress:Their findings are relevant only to patients admitted to hospitalThey are "the first piece of the jigsaw" but further research is needed before they can propose or test any potential treatmentsThey tracked cognitive problems at six and 12 months only...

The Illumination of Journalism: The Voices of Change and the Saudi Masters of the Pen
By The Parliamentary Society Press OfficeIn Partnership with the Past, Present, and FutureFrom the cradle of civilization, where the Acta Diurna heralded the birth of news in 59 BCE in Rome, to the clinking noise of the Gutenberg printing press that once rang through the workshops of Germany and Antwerp, the quill of journalism has penned a magnificent odyssey. A tale that reached a significant milestone with the Daily Courant in 1702, as it laid the ink of modernity on the very fabric of society.The journalism we celebrate today has evolved into a symphony of voices. Its manifestations stretch far and wide, encompassing the television, radio, Internet, and of course, the newspapers and magazines that continue to echo the thoughts and opinions of humanity.Through the annals of history,...
