          Potential New Treatment for a Leading Cause of Autism

          Researchers have identified a potential new treatment method for Fragile X Syndrome (FXS), a leading cause of autism spectrum disorders. The method involves contracting the CGG trinucleotide repeat in the FMR1 gene, thereby restoring the essential FMRP protein expression necessary for brain development.

          Is the BCG Vaccine a Potential Shield Against Alzheimer’s?

          A recent study suggests that the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, typically used to prevent tuberculosis, may also reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The study followed 6,467 individuals, over 15 years post their diagnosis with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Findings revealed patients who received the BCG vaccine had a 20% lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, and a 25% reduced risk of death.

          NFL Players Who Experienced Concussion Symptoms During Careers Show Reduced Cognitive Performance Decades After Retirement

          Retired football players who experienced concussions during their careers performed worse on cognitive tests than non-players. The findings add to the growing body of evidence that suggests head injuries experienced by football players accelerate cognitive aging. Researchers say the results underlie the importance of tracking concussion symptoms in football players as opposed to concussion diagnosis.

          Certain Social Factors Can Predict Early Death in Older Adults

          Researchers have compiled a comprehensive inventory of social aspects of the aging population that can predict longevity. Feeling socially isolated, living in a neighborhood with poor cleanliness, and lower perceived control over financial situations appear to contribute to early death in the aging population.
