A New Type of Memory Loss in Older Adults

MedEvidence Articles ·

2025/03/31

This podcast explores Limbic-predominant Amnestic Neurodegenerative Syndrome (LANS), a newly identified condition that primarily affects episodic memory while leaving other cognitive functions relatively intact. LANS is associated with the misfolding of TDP-43, a protein that can accumulate and damage limbic structures. Unlike Alzheimer’s, LANS has a slower onset and lacks definitive diagnostic tests, making research critical for future treatments. With the aging population, understanding and...

Alzheimer’s at the Genetic Level

MedEvidence Articles ·

2025/03/24

Medical treatments are shifting from broad approaches to precise genetic targeting, especially for finicky diseases like Alzheimer's dementia. While many past efforts focused on amyloid β plaques, new research is exploring genetic regulators like APP, which influences amyloid levels, and KDM5, an enzyme linked to memory and cognition. Clinical trials are testing drugs that could balance these proteins and potentially slow cognitive decline at its root. Tune in this week for a deep look into t...

Digging Up the Truth About Potatoes

MedEvidence Articles ·

2025/03/17

This St. Patrick's Day we explore the history, nutritional profile, and potential health benefits of potatoes. Potatoes are a major global food staple, providing significant calories worldwide. Though often criticized for their high glycemic index (GI), different cooking methods, particularly chilling after cooking, can increase resistant starches, which improve gut health and reduce blood sugar impact. Potatoes also have a high satiety index, making them more filling than many other foods. W...

New Research on Heart Failure: Understanding IL-6 and...

MedEvidence Articles ·

2025/02/21

This week, we talk about one of the big contributors to heart failure: inflammation. Heart failure affects millions and comes in two main types: HFrEF (weakened pumping) and HFpEF (thickened, stiff walls). While conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes contribute, chronic inflammation—driven in part by Interleukin 6 (IL-6)—plays a major role. IL-6 causes muscle damage, fibrosis, and worsens other diseases. Researchers are developing monoclonal antibodies to regulate IL-6, offering a p...

2025/02/10

When the hot water went out, you might call a plumber, but if the water heater is out it might instead be an electrical problem - just like how heart problems can stem from faulty electrical signals rather than the heart muscle itself. Atrial fibrillation (AFib), the most common arrhythmia affecting six million Americans, disrupts the heart’s electrical system, causing rapid, chaotic beating that increases stroke risk fivefold. In this week's episode, we review AFib, the risk factors to devel...

Alzheimer’s and ADHD, the Missing Link?

MedEvidence Articles ·

2025/01/27
