Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 1-9-2016

Hmmm … 

That could be good news … 

You’re — possibly — aware I’m a long term fan of writer, Terry Pratchett.

And one who not only saw Alzheimer’s Disease kill both his favourite writer, and a much loved grandmother.

So … ?   As you can imagine, I’m not a fan of the condition.

And usually keep an eye on news about the condition.

News came in, yesterday: that the early studies of a new drug — Aducanumab — seem to show it has had very good results on a group of 165 patients.

I know the drug’s in it’s early stages.

I’m VERY aware it comes too late for both my grandmother, and Sir Terry.

But … ?

I can only hope this is a good sign.

Alzheimer’s may not be curable.

But this drug, if it can be shown to work well?

Sounds like a very good treatment.
