Challenges to the recognition and assessment of Alzheimer\u27s disease in American Indians of the southwestern United States
Little is known about Alzheimer\u27s disease (AD) and related neurodegenerative diseases in American Indian (AI) populations. To provide appropriate health care to elder AIs, whose population is expected to increase dramatically during the next 50 years, it is imperative to attain a better understanding of the interaction of culture and disease in this underserved population. Raising awareness in the AI population regarding the nature of dementia as it compares to normal aging and the development of culturally appropriate instruments to detect and stage AD are essential for future health care efforts. Barriers restricting clinical service to this population include historical factors relating to access to health care, cultural beliefs regarding aging, demographic diversity of the population, competing epidemiologic risk factors, and lack of proper assessment tools for clinicians. © 2008 The Alzheimer\u27s Association
Prisons, public opinion and the new punitiveness
Using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA),
ATLAS (Australia Telescope Large Area Survey) is imaging two fields
totalling 7 square degrees down to 10μJy beam⁻¹ at 1.4 GHz. We have
found 6 wide-angle tail galaxies (WATs), 4 of which have sufficient data
to identify associated galaxy overdensities. The largest WAT, at a red-shift
of 0.22, appears to be associated with an overdensity of galaxies that is
spread over an unusually large extent of 12 Mpc, with a velocity range of
4500 km s⁻¹. Here we present the WATs in ATLAS and discuss the implications
of these observations for future large-scale radio surveys such as ASKAP-EMU
Case series of clinically probable dementia with lewy bodies in two Native Americans
While incidence and prevalence of dementias have been assessed in some tribes, little is known about whether the different types of dementias that affect whites also affect Native Americans. Here, we report 2 cases of clinically probable dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) that fulfill McKeith Consensus Criteria in an 84-year-old full-blooded Navajo woman and a 78-year-old full-blooded Navajo male assessed in a neurology clinic
