A new study published in the Journal of Neuroinflammation (this month's centerfold: elderly) details the successful human test of a promising Alzheimer's treatment. After injecting a patient with a tumor necrosis factor-alpha cytokine inhibitor, the researchers noticed a decrease in Alzheimer's symptoms within minutes. This is a small and very early study, but hopefully it'll lead to an effective treatment in the near future. No offense to your demented friends/relatives, but I'm just hoping they get this thing going in time to stave off Terry Pratchett's disease long enough for him to crank out a few more Discworld books. More details here.
