In his continuing series on serious issues with heavily prescribed drugs, Jared tackles two big ones - Gabapentin and Lisinopril. Gabapentin is used for all kinds of things in an off label capacity, but does it work? And is it safe? Lisinopril is prescribed as the number one option for high blood pressure but it has come under significant scrutiny and seems to cause more problems the longer someone is using it. Learn the truth about these iffy prescriptions! Also the follow up episode #354 will give you some safer and still very proven natural alternatives to consider.

Kevin Church, Chief Science Officer of Athira Pharma, joins Suzanne to provide an overview of what happens in a trial, how long they last, and the different kinds of clinical trials. In this segment, Kevin talks about how to find clinical trial locations, as well as what sorts of things the doctors are looking for in a participant.

Talk to your doctor or neurologist, or a specialist at a clinic, check clinicaltrials.gov for trials in your area, and for Athira Pharma trials see https://www.lift-adtrial.com/. You don't need a doctor's referral.

If you're a caregiver or an adult child, if you're interested in participating in a clinical trial, talk to a specialist to see if it's appropriate. Talk to your doctor or neurologist, or a specialist at a clinic — visit clinicaltrials.gov for trials in your area, and the LIFT-AD Clinical Trial website for Athira Pharma's trials. See AFE's Alzheimer's and Dementia page and AFE's Athira Pharma podcasts page for more shows about these topics. Courtesy of Athira Pharma.

Suzanne closes out the show with Lucy's story looking forward to springtime.

Kevin Church, Chief Science Officer of Athira Pharma, joins Suzanne to talk about what happens in clinical trials, how long do they last, and what the different types are.

There are 143 Alzheimer's treatments in various stages of study at the moment, including those in clinical trials stage 1, 2, and 4. Athira's trials last about six months long. They involve periodic visits to a trial center, usually a hospital, meeting monthly or bimonthly over the course of the study, while being given either the treatment or a placebo. The patient's caregiver is essential to the trial.

If you're a caregiver or an adult child, if you're interested in participating in a clinical trial, talk to a specialist to see if it's appropriate.

Kevin Church, Chief Science Officer of Athira Pharma, joins Suzanne to talk about what happens to the brain when someone has Alzheimer's. It's a very complex disease. Most people know about the amyloid plaques that causes neuro-degeneration. Other proteins also build up. These clumps interrupt memory formation, communication between nerve cells, and regardless of the clumps, the ultimate problem is that the nerves aren't working properly and are dying. Right now there are limited treatments for those diagnosed with Alzheimers. Athira's clinical trials with fosgonimeton aim to keep nerve cells alive in the face of these clumps. It helps reduce inflammation, and it's shown promise in their trials.

If you're a caregiver or an adult child, if you're interested in participating in a clinical trial, talk to a specialist to see if it's appropriate. Talk to your doctor or neurologist, or a specialist at a clinic — visit clinicaltrials.gov for trials in your area, and the LIFT-AD Clinical Trial website for Athira Pharma's trials.

If you're concerned about memory loss, this show will interest you. Kevin Church, Chief Science Officer of Athira Pharma, joins Suzanne this hour to talk about Alzheimer's disease and developing treatments. Alzheimer's is growing, a critical unmet need, with 6.5 million American adults diagnosed, and byy 2050 there could be as many as 50 million patients. The average age of onset is between 70 to 75, usually diagnosed in one's 60s.

The long-term impacts of the lockdown and pandemic are being researched, but researchers are seeing that Covid infection has increased the risk of developing dementia later, and it may have worsened ongoing dementia. People in some cases avoided going to the doctor for years, and may have gotten diagnosed later than they would have without the pandemic.

Athira seeks to develop treatments for neuro-degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease as well as Parkinson’s Disease, PD Dementia and Dementia with Lewy Bodies, and ALS. They conduct clinical trials, and their lead compound fosgonimeton targets a neurotropic factor to help nerve cells grow.

To learn more about the lead compound, watch Athia's YouTube video. Learn more about Athira's focus on Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, and visit the LIFT-AD Clinical Trial website to see if you qualify for a clinical trial in your area.

In this podcast episode, Marwan Sabbagh, MD, FAAN, and Marta San Luciano, MD, MS, FAAN, have a conversation about Parkinson’s disease psychosis (PDP). Their discussion provides information on the disease itself—covering symptoms, risk factors, and mechanism—before moving into clinical strategies for diagnosis and disease and comorbidity management. The experts emphasize the importance of ruling out an underlying cause of psychosis before making a diagnosis of PDP, calling out common culprits such as urinary and respiratory tract infections. Following diagnosis, they comment on the value of implementing nonpharmacologic measures in tandem with pharmacologic interventions for PDP. Within the discussion of pharmacologic interventions, Drs Sabbagh and San Luciano give a well-rounded explanation of patient and medication factors they consider when choosing a treatment for their patients with PDP, including patient outcomes they have experienced in clinical practice. Rounding out the podcast, the experts touch on their approach to managing the very common comorbidity of sleep disturbances in patients with PDP.

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with no cure and few treatment options. Cases of Parkinson’s disease have increased due to aging populations and longer disease duration. In this episode, Dr. Rountree and Kristi review a 2021 study on how laser and light therapy has been safely used to stimulate neural pathways in the brain. Transcranial light therapy has positive effects on the tissues of the brain; reducing inflammation of the brain and stimulating tissues at the cellular level to help develop new neural pathways.

Healing at the Speed of Light 

While Parkinson’s disease affects over 1% of people aged 60+, and is a disease that steadily progresses, there is no cure. However, a study done in January of 2021 claims that hydrogen water and laser therapy significantly reduces the severity of Parkinson’s. Join Dr. Rountree and Kristi as they discuss whether laser therapy can help Parkinson’s, if hydrogen water has benefits, and whether laser therapy could cause any cellular damage.

Healing at the Speed of Light 

Andrés Cerpa recollects how his father’s early dementia was an increasing influence on his early years. As he grew, his father diminished. The burden of this was heavy on him — he stayed awake listening for information, and fell asleep at school. Older now, he looks at his younger self with tenderness and sadness. This poem gives attention to the experience of the growing presence of absence, and the ways that affects memory, family, and perspective.

Andrés Cerpa is the author of Bicycle in a Ransacked City: An Elegy, and The Vault from Alice James Books. A recipient of fellowships from McDowell and Canto Mundo, his work has appeared in Ploughshares, Poem-a-Day, The Kenyon Review, The Rumpus, Puerto Rico en mi Corazón, The Breakbeat Poets Vol 4: LatiNext,  The Nation, and elsewhere. He holds degrees from the University of Delaware and Rutgers University Newark.
