May also work on preventing mental deterioration from epilepsy and Lyme disease.
Holy moly :bloomer:

Eventually when this kind of research proliferates into treatment in widespread use, literally everyone will have communism to thank for it.
That's some seriously powerful propaganda to have. Being able to tell a person that communism is the reason their Alzheimer's suffering family member's brain isn't a mess is exceptionally powerful. I have watched this happen to someone first hand and literally everyone that has seen it would be incapable of not praising communism for it.
Alzheimers is like one of the scariest diseases to have. One of my personal biggest fears
westoids will find a way to take credit for it, don't worry
Cuba is doing everything in its power to ensure that the next Ché is immortal.
There's a reason we call it the Immortal science and it's not just the Juche necromancers.
Cuba is great, and fuck anybody who says otherwise.
:fidel-cool: :alzheimers: :owned:
To quote myself on this site:
On it's worst day, Cuba is a better country than the United States will ever fucking be.
Even AES can't do science journalism responsibly -_- https://alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/alz.036167
About 60% of patients experienced improvement or stability for Alzheimers, that's pretty damn good, not gonna lie. The ruetir article is a bit overblown, but erythropoietin does show promise for Alzheimers, Parkinson's, and several other neurodegenerative diseases.
Worse than some control group baseline or worse than they were doing before the trial? Cause with progressive diseases that distinction matters
Yeah this matters a lot as basically everyone with Alzheimer's is going to get worse.
Worth noting that without treatment, 0% would improve, and things would be split fairly evenly between worse and stable. It's not about whether this is better than being a healthy person without Alzheimer's, it's about being better than an untreated person with Alzheimer's. It's a step in the right direction.
Compared to our current treatments for Alzheimer’s which is basically nothing, this is amazing
That's a fucking amazing result. Like enough to make me start looking around for the hidden mirrors and statistical dodges.
Hell yeah! I remember dong a paper in college about an upcoming Alzheimers treatment that was considered cutting edge in like 2010 - something to do with blue dye having a positive impact on brain chemistry?
Looks like this is the drug I'm thinking of. At any rate, Cuba once again continues to be based, and hope they're able to do more good work!

This is an Erythropoietin based treatment. I think it's restoring and protecting the Extracellular Matrix and surface protein structure, but I've literally spent 30 seconds on the paper.
It's a known treatment for anemia and had been speculated to be used for stuff like stroke patients before but usually it's not well tolerated enough to be used by older people. Looks like they solved that.
Fun fact, it was Lance Armstrong's main secret doping agent.
I didn't read it either, just made sure it was the thing im thinking of. Thanks for the info! One of my grandparents passed from it, so its something I kinda keep an eye on every so often!
epilepsy
:inshallah-script:
I'm lucky enough to have it managed by medication but the amount of pills I take daily is doing a number on my wallet and probably my kidneys tooIt's stuff like this that proves to me the whole "Science is better under Communism" thing people love to say. Capitalism is about “innovating” new ways of finding profits, Socialism/Communism whatever seems to value actual innovation and discovery. It's increasingly impressive they managed to do this under all the various constraints, sanctions, and tariffs Cuba is subject to.
A pubmed link to one of the older studies on this by this group. It's good folks.
