Granddaughter and grandmother are sad to be leaving each other after spending 4 months together.
"Grateful for my mom, who was here for 4 months, becoming our safe place, our support, our little village. Every visit she has here is always so special, and I’m so glad she made it back to the Philippines safely."

Northwestern University scientists recently identified that the decades-old, FDA-approved anti-seizure drug levetiracetam (Keppra) can prevent the production of toxic Alzheimer’s proteins before they accumulate into plaques. Unlike current treatments that aim to clear existing amyloid-beta plaques, this breakthrough discovery suggests a mechanism to stop the disease's earliest molecular steps.
Levetiracetam works by stabilizing brain electrical activity, reducing abnormal neural firing that contributes to both seizures and the production of toxic amyloid-beta proteins in Alzheimer's. In the Alzheimer's brain, the drug prevents the release of neurotransmitters that trigger the buildup of amyloid-beta plaques. By blocking these early molecular steps, levetiracetam offers a preventative approach, stopping the disease’s progression before significant damage occurs, unlike current treatments that only clear existing plaques. While the study published in the Study of Transnational Medicine is encouraging, Jeffrey Savas said levetiracetam “is not perfect,” and noted that the drug breaks down in the body very quickly. He and others are in the process of making a better version of levetiracetam, which would last longer in the body and help better target the mechanism that prevents the production of the plaques.

This week 2 skiers rescued a man who was suffocating beneath deep powder snow at Palisades Tahoe in California. Carson Schmidt, one of the rescuers, said he and his partner stopped in the powder and happened to notice ski tips sticking out of the snow. Realizing someone was trapped underneath, they immediately began digging. The victim had been inverted and submerged in deep powder. The rescuers were able to free the man before he lost consciousness. Schmidt later said the moment served as a reminder to ski with a partner and maintain constant awareness in deep conditions, noting that burial can occur even without an avalanche when snow is that deep. In deep snow immersion incidents like this the primary cause of death is asphyxia, not hypothermia. So grateful for this good news and great job, heroes!
