Flipboard Science Desk<p>Scientists have identified a genetic form of Alzheimer’s disease in older people, pinpointing a gene of which some people carry two copies. The gene, called APOE4, is not only a risk factor but an underlying cause for the disease when found twice in a person’s DNA, researchers say. Finding a way to target APOE4 in treatment is crucial because Leqembi, the only drug found to slow the disease, causes dangerous side effects in people with the gene.

Swede’s Photographs<p>Good morning. 🍄 🍄 🍄 </p><p>13 April 2024</p><p>Old age, it is what it is, isn't it? I had a rough night last night; I ended up getting up and sleeping in my recliner. It was my fault, I ordered Mexican food and after I sort of mini gorged on my favorite candy, Red Vines. I know that candy is on a list of things to avoid. To top in all off, I forgot to take my evening meds, which almost always makes sleeping rough. Hmmm ... I usually check my weekly pill container before I get into bed to make sure that I didn't forget; it is my fail safe, so to speak, but I forgot.</p><p>“The truth is I'm getting old, I said.
