Mayo Clinic Minute: Is Alzheimer's Type 3 diabetes? Are some cases of Alzheimer's disease triggered by a form of diabetes in the brain? Perhaps they are, according to researchers. Mayo Clinic's campuses in Rochester, Minnesota, and Jacksonville, Florida, recently participated in a multi-institution clinical study, testing whether a new insulin nasal spray can improve Alzheimer’s symptoms. “This study has furthered our understanding of the gene that is the strongest genetic risk factor known for Alzheimer’s disease,” says Dr. Guojun Bu , a Mayo Clinic neuroscientist. "About 20 percent of the human population carries this riskier form of [the gene] APOE, called the E4," says Dr. Bu. It's believed that more than 50 percent of Alzheimer’s cases can be linked to APOE4, according to the study, which was published in Neuron .

Chicago’s Defund the Police Leads to Supermarkets Closing in Black Areas. An often-overlooked aspect of the "defund the police" movement is its profound impact on the mindset of law enforcement officers, even when no budget cuts have actually occurred. Let's consider a different perspective: imagine being a dedicated police officer who has just completed a strenuous 10-hour shift. During that shift, you had to respond to a challenging domestic disturbance call or meticulously document a lengthy car crash report. After a long day of service, you return home, turn on the news, or scroll through social media, only to be confronted with a torrent of public animosity directed at your profession. These individuals, many of whom you've never met and likely never will, harbor deep-seated resentment toward you simply because of your career choice. In another scenario, picture being a law enforcement officer who has just graduated from the police academy, full of idealism and ...

NYC gun arrest unveils Satanic pedophile cult after blood covenant, child sex abuse files found The arrest of a Queens man on gun charges two years ago may have led federal authorities to the discovery of a Satanic pedophile extortion cult that targets minors over the internet. Investigators uncovered the heinous group — 764 — while probing disturbing social media posts made by Angel Almeida, 23, who was busted in Nov. 2021 and charged with being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, according to court documents and a report published Thursday. In February, Brooklyn federal prosecutors announced they had filed a superseding indictment against Almeida, adding charges related to child exploitation and enticement of minors. Prior to Almeida’s arrest, the FBI followed anonymous tips that allegedly linked him to social media accounts containing vile posts about child sex abuse — including one Instagram profile, “@necropedocell,” that featured a photo of what appear...

DeSantis: Trump ‘Didn’t Deliver On’ Promises, He Owes It to Voters To ‘Defend His Record’ At the Debate Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis criticized former President Donald Trump during an interview Tuesday night, saying that the former president needed to show up to this week’s GOP primary debate to defend his record as president. DeSantis made the remarks during an interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham ahead of Wednesday’s debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. DeSantis, who is second place nationally in current polling , will be at the center of the debate stage since Trump is not attending. “I think it’s interesting that he is not willing to stand on that stage,” DeSantis said of Trump. “I think he owes it to all the voters to show up, defend his record, and articulate what he would do going forward and what he would might do differently.

‘The View’ Hosts Go Off on Their Own Network Over Poll That’s Bad for Biden The hosts of ABC’s midday talk show “The View” aired their grievances about a recent poll showing former President Donald Trump beating President Joe Biden in a head-to-head match-up. The cohosts addressed the poll in question — which showed Trump holding a ten-point lead over Biden — during Monday’s broadcast. WATCH: Republican cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin attempted to qualify the results, suggesting that the poll was “an outlier” — but she did note that Biden certainly has some weak points going into his 2024 reelection campaign. Griffin pointed to his consistently low job approval ratings — and concerns from both sides of the political aisle about his advanced age and mental acuity. Cohost Sunny Hostin turned the attack on Trump then, arguing that the polls meant nothing as long as Trump’s trials had not yet begun. Ana Navarro suggested that the pollsters had been “high” when they gave their responses, ...
