Background: Mivelsiran (ALN-APP) is an investigational, intrathecally administered RNA interference therapeutic designed to lower levels of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide, a key driver of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) pathogenesis, by reducing upstream production of amyloid precursor protein (APP). We report additional safety, pharmacodynamic, and biomarker data from the double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose part of the ongoing mivelsiran Phase 1 study (NCT05231785).

Method: Patients with early-onset AD (symptom onset <65 years of age, Clinical Dementia Rating global score 0.

Background: Rapidly progressive dementia (RPD) is variably defined across published cohorts. A standardized definition is needed to support multicenter studies required to inform the causes of RPD and optimize recognition and management of treatment-responsive causes. An optimal definition will capture the broad spectrum of causes of RPD, adequately differentiate patients with rapid and typically progressive presentations of neurodegenerative disease, and be reliably implemented across healthcare settings and centers.

Background: Community-based centers for people living with dementia (PLWD) have been implemented as part of the National Plan of dementia in Chile, delivering a multicomponent intervention to support PLWD and their families. There is limited knowledge on their implementation, and we had previously informed with respect to the implementation outcomes of the first center, called Kintun. This work offers an update on findings describing implementation outcomes of three more centers, with different implementation times and geographic locations in Chile.

Prehospital emergency care is the primary stage in the treatment of critically ill patients, where efficient and accurate monitoring methods are crucial for patient survival and prognosis. End-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO) monitoring is a real-time, non-invasive method that can sensitively capture the status of respiratory, circulatory, and metabolic functions, particularly in the urgent and complex pre-hospital environment, a immediate detection and non-invasive method, can sensitively capture the respiratory, circulatory, and metabolic status of patients. It provides valuable guidance for rapid decision-making and precise interventions.
