Prior to the monoclonal antibody era, Gayatri Devi was already applying a rich multimodal toolkit inspired by the HIV treatment model: a personalized cocktail of drugs targeting different mechanisms [1] — Gayatri Devi "Before monoclonal antibodies, Gayatri Devi was already deploying a complex toolkit: cholinesterase inhibitors, memantine, valacyclovir, WAT…" 1:13:40 . She continues to use cholinesterase inhibitors like donepezil and galantamine, memantine (an NMDA antagonist that reduces signal-to-noise ratio in neurotransmission), and valacyclovir for patients with herpetic neuroinflammation risk. Since 2008, she has used transcranial magnetic stimulation off-label, targeting the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, Broca's area, and the precuneus using neuronavigation guided by each patient's own MRI to maintain specific neural circuits. GLP-1 agonists are now part of the toolkit for appropriate patients. Peter Attia observes that the pattern he sees across chronic diseases — from atherosclerosis to cancer — is that early, sustained treatment over years moves the needle far more than late, aggressive intervention, and he laments that the right clinical trials for early, low-dose anti-amyloid therapy haven't been funded.
Mental health challenges are nearly universal — BetterHelp's own research found the majority of Americans experiencing symptoms right now.
When applying for Medicaid to cover nursing home costs, there is a 5-year look-back period that can disqualify applicants who gave away or spent down assets.
A broken pipe filled the Bad Friends studio with what the hosts identified as hydrogen sulfide — microscopic fecal aeroparticles — that the crew denied smelling.
Fei-Fei Li's father's liver surgery performed by a da Vinci robot resulted in 10 times less blood loss than a typical open liver surgery, thanks to laparoscopic precision.
Approximately 115 million adults in the US currently have prediabetes, most of whom are unaware, according to the Lingo sponsor segment.
Drug overdose deaths in the US fell from 110,000 to 80,000 in 2024, and then to roughly 70,000 — the largest single-year drop the CDC has ever recorded.
Men's overdose death rate fell 27% in a single year, outpacing the 23% drop for women.
The steepest decline in overdose deaths was among 15–24-year-olds, whose rate fell 37%.
Fei-Fei Li observed that on a given hospital shift, nurses walk miles just to fetch medicine and supplies, illustrating a clear use case for assistive robotics in healthcare.
