XRT for Alzheimer's dz
As mentioned in another thread, multiple case reports and animal studies are showing a benefit to relatively low dose RT in Alzheimer's dz. Sometimes amyloid plaques are disappearing and memory is improving (animals), and sometimes memory is improving without a change in amyloid burden. Earlier in the disease is thought to be more beneficial time to intervene than late/advanced stages...

New FDA-approved drug, Aduhelm,for Alzheimer's
Was just curious what Neurologists thoughts are about this approval. I'm not sure how many Neurologists in academics have a lot of AD patients or actively treat it; especially those who are subspecialists.
I know that in private practice, general Neurologists probably are managing a good number of AD patients; I'm just wondering how this will impact your treatment for this patients, since there tends to be a lot of controversy around it.
Are you planning on incorporating this into...

Publishing Literature Review in an Undergraduate Journal
Hey guys! I hope y'all are safe during this pandemic.
I've recently written a literature review on some treatments for Alzheimer's Disease. It's a paper I'm extremely proud of because it took me A LONG time and a lot of research. I was told by a friend (who is also a pre-med) to publish it in an undergrad journal.
I know it's possible to publish research papers as an undergrad, but is it possible to publish a literature review? I mean, I'm no expert to be reviewing experts' work. I'm just...
