Over the past two years, Eisai and Biogen’s Leqembi and Eli Lilly’s Kisunla, both anti-amyloid antibodies, made history as the first real options to slow cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer’s disease. For years, amyloid plaques and tau tangles have been a primary target of Alzheimer’s disease research and drug development, but while affecting these proteins may yield some benefit, the illness continues to progress. Today, multiple therapeutics are in Phase III trials with other targets, suggesting that within the next few years it may become possible to treat Alzheimer’s via multiple pathways.

I love to run—but I detest running uphill. When I hit an incline, my legs burn, I get acid reflux, and I often need to take a break to catch my breath. Jogging over hills is so terrible for me that I exclusively map out flat routes and sign up for races with minimal elevation, if any. As it turns out, there’s a legitimate reason people struggle with hills. Every single one of us has a unique running style, or running fingerprint, as John Mercer, a professor of Kinesiology and Nutrition Sciences at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, calls it.

You don’t need to be deep in the fitness world to have run into the idea that cardio “kills” muscle gains—as if every cycling class and or 3-mile run sends a little army of molecules through your body to chomp away at hard-earned muscle tissue. While it’s an entertaining image and a potentially convincing theory, the reality is that it’s not exactly true.

A Radiology Partners affiliate has teamed with a local university to bolster its talent pipeline. Desert Radiology Chief Operating Officer Matt Grimes, MBA, earned his degree in radiography administration from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, in 1996. Twenty years later when he joined the practice, one of his top priorities was reinstituting a collaboration allowing UNLV second-year radiography students to gain experience at DR facilities.

You might think electrolytes are some kind of lab-made superfuel for elite athletes and those who want to be like them. Electrolytes are indeed powerful, and in some circumstances, your body might benefit from a boost. But like comic book heroes with mild-mannered alter egos, they might already be hanging around in your life by another name. And like a movie franchise with one sequel too many, more is not always better.
