New Findings from Alzheimer’s Association: Decreasing Dementia Rates and Emerging Risks
Alarming Increase in Alzheimer’s Cases
A recent study reveals a concerning rise in Alzheimer’s disease cases among older Americans, with an estimated 6.9 million individuals affected in 2024. This marks a significant uptick of about 200,000 cases from the previous year, posing a major public health challenge.
Prevalence of Mild Cognitive Impairment
Additionally, the report indicates that 5 to 7 million adults are grappling with mild cognitive impairment, an early indicator of Alzheimer's disease. These cognitive changes are closely linked to the progression of the condition, as highlighted in the Alzheimer's Association's annual facts and figures report.
Positive Trends in Dementia Rates
Despite these concerning statistics, there is a glimmer of hope in the form of declining dementia rates over the past 25 years. This positive trend is attributed to factors such as increased educational attainment, physical activity, blood pressure management, smoking cessat

Under political pressure, Nísia acknowledges the accusations and the failure of Rio’s hospitals
Health Minister Nísia Trindade acknowledged on Wednesday (20) the requests made by the president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) at the ministerial meeting on Monday (18) and that last year there was a failure in dialogue between the department and the managers of the federal hospitals in Rio de Janeiro. It is at the center of criticism, especially from the opposition, due to the advancing Yanomami health crisis and the dengue epidemic across the country.
Despite the pressure and the possibility of her being fired, Nísia said she has Lula’s trust and that the ministry is “integrated with the government’s action.”
“The president’s biggest request is that, in fact, we know how society is reaching. […] In the case of Health, the president reiterated his trust in my work and in the ministry, which is fully integrated into the government’s actions, and a very great concern

EU wants to buy weapons with money from Russia
Good morning, dear reader,
Ukraine needs money and weapons – and quickly. The country is having increasing difficulty fending off Russian troops. Experts have long been warning that Russia could soon gain the upper hand and gain territory again – a scenario that the West is keen to prevent.
But wherever you look, there are problems: The US Congress is still blocking the $60 billion package, and European countries cannot keep up with arms production. The EU actually promised Ukraine last spring that it would deliver a million grenades by yesterday. But only half of them arrived in the war-torn country.

The plan wasn’t actually a bad one: The member states should receive money from a special EU fund to supply ammunition to Ukraine from their own stocks or from European defense companies. This should have the side effect of boosting European arms production at the same time. But that went wrong.
There are different reasons why. The EU foreign policy chief Joseph Borrell said yesterday that defense production in Europe had not ramped up quickly enough. As our colleagues from “Welt” recently researched, but that is only part of the truth: both the EU and the member states reacted too slowly. Example: According to the report, a European arms manufacturer offered 400,000 artillery shells, but only five governments wanted to order fractions of them – and in the end the ammunition went to other countries. In the meantime, the Czech Republic began to raise money on its own to procure ammunition not only in Europe but on the world market. A project that France blocked until last week, but which Germany now also supports.
People in Brussels also know that this is not a good outcome for the EU – and tried to get at least a few things done shortly before the summit meeting of the member states that begins today. Yesterday, Ukraine received 4.5 billion euros for the first time from a new aid program that is intended to help the country maintain the functioning of the state, such as paying civil servants and teachers. That wasn’t easy either; Hungary resisted for a long time.
But how the EU can supply Ukraine with ammunition remains a highly politically complicated question. But when it comes to the question of who should finance the d
