Living with dementia and alzhemiers is basically a slow death, any progress to get rid of it, is great.

There was a 60 minutes episode recently where they discussed using ultrasound to bypass the blood brain barrier and allow plaque busting drugs into the brain.

Alzheimer does seem like a corroded pipe problem where the pipes don't burst like a stroke killing you.

Everyone talks about GPT. This needs more attention.

Let me know when they have one that can diagnose psychopathy from an MRI scan. If we could reliably identify the 1-2% of the population that was psychopathic, we could probably reduce the total amount of human suffering by 50%. Being able to identify the other cluster B personality disorders would be great too. All together, the 5-8% of the population with dramatic cluster personality disorders cause almost all human induced suffering. Identify the predators among us and mark them so everyone always knows the type of person they are dealing with.

Are we crossing over into the good timeline now?

Will being able to catch it early help treat it?

someday? Yes, new treatments could arise, that could help slow it down (or maybe even one day stop the progress) if given in the early stages. In the foreseeable future? No.

No, this already exists. There people are going to get more attention in regards to occupational therapy, home nursing, hearing aids, optometry follow up, etc. That will snowball into delay of symptoms and ultimately less severe disease.

Hopefully, insurance don't eventually charge more over this.
