Today, Global Alzheimer’s Platform Foundation® (GAP) and Clinical Neurology Specialists (CNS) announced their collaboration to accelerate Alzheimer’s disease research in Las Vegas. CNS has joined the GAP-sponsored study, Bio-Hermes-002, a unique, observational platform study that compares blood-based and digital biomarkers to generate data that may help predict, detect and diagnose Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. This is a transformative, international study, but CNS is the only Las Vegas research site participating.

'Tis the season where injuries and illnesses rise sharply around the winter holidays. Dr. Marc Kahn, professor and chief of hematology at UNLV's Department of Internal Medicine at the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine, joined ARC Las Vegas and Evan Schreiber to explain what personal health issues are serious enough to warrant a visit to the emergency room, as those clinics and doctors worry about overcrowding.

A study on Ozempic’s impacts on Alzheimer’s disease didn’t have the results scientists hoped for. We talk to UNLV’s Dr. Jeffrey Cummings on the research and what’s next. Also from UNLV: a look at how a “new” species of an ancient human ancestor can help shape our view on evolution. We end with a fun story on “Silver Belle”... the first tree from Nevada to serve as the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree!

Over the past few years, scientists have learned that Ozempic and related drugs developed to treat Type 2 diabetes can improve the health of the liver, kidney and heart.

A federal vaccine advisory committee voted to end the longstanding recommendation that all U.S. babies get the hepatitis B vaccine on the day they’re born or before they leave the hospital. For decades, the shots have been widely considered to be a public health success for preventing hundreds of thousands of illnesses.

Australia has implemented a ban on social media apps for children under 16, citing concerns over mental health and the addictive nature of platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok. The decision has sparked discussions in the United States about whether a similar move should be considered.

Nevada cities may now be on the hook for hundreds of millions of dollars more in workers compensation for lung disease claims from first responders after a surprise bill passed out of the recent special legislative session.
