The arrival of lecanemab comes with some big caveats, however. The drug has significant health risks, including bleeding and brain swelling. It’s expensive—drug manufacturer Eisai estimates the annual price of treatment would be somewhere between $9,249 and $35,605, and it’s unclear what insurance will cover. And the drug has only a modest effect on the debilitating progress of Alzheimer’s. Some scientists are also having second thoughts about the strategy that led to lecanemab—namely, trying to slow Alzheimer’s solely by inhibiting the buildup of beta-amyloid, a protein that accumulates in the brain cells to form plaques....

Of those participants, 66% reported the relief lasted for up to one year. The device, now branded as Lenire,­ was developed by Neuromod Devices....

The two-time Cy Young Award winner graciously accepted congratulations on heading to the World Series for the third time in five years, but he did not want to talk. Once the center of the Giants’ universe, and a pitcher who had 43 strikeouts in 37 innings in the 2010 championship run, Lincecum slipped in the pecking order to swingman for the Giants’ 2012 march to the title, and while he has been on the active roster in this year’s playoffs, he has not gotten on the mound....

Sununu instead suggested that the organization should cancel its plans to have Gaetz speak. The Florida GOP congressman is under federal investigation for allegations of sex trafficking and sex with a minor. “Until that investigation is complete, we don’t think it’s appropriate for him to be coming to New Hampshire,” Ray Buckley, the chair of the New Hampshire Democratic Party, said according to WCSH-TV. Di Lothrop, vice chair of the Nashua Republican City Committee, booked Gaetz to be a speaker for the organization’s fundraiser before it was known he was under federal investigation....

Roselynn Ice Cream and Diner in Epping shut on Sunday after operating in violation of coronavirus rules requiring employees to wear masks or face coverings.

Not only that, but Shero had luck working in his favor as the Devils won the 2019 NHL Draft lottery. And with the first-overall pick, he selected highly-touted prospect Jack Hughes. In the meantime, franchise player Taylor Hall was entering the final year of his contract, and coming off season-ending knee surgery, it was hoped he’d regain the form that won him the Hart Trophy in 2018.

This hat thing sounds pretty arcane until you reflect that the best-selling album in America last week was “Ropin’ the Wind,” by the quintessential hat act, Garth Brooks. Never before has a country album entered Billboard’s pop chart at No. 1-though with the magazine’s new method of tabulating such stuff, this impressive assertion should get Roger Maris’s old asterisk. Brooks makes honky-tonk safe for middlebrows: “Ropin’ the Wind” even includes a Billy Joel song....

Of the three images, two are in black-and-white and one is full color. The medium-resolution color image shows the planet’s north pole region, its curvature and signature red hue. The high-resolution black-and-white images show the surface of the Red Planet marked with craters, while sand dunes and ridges are also visible thanks to the sun casting a shadow from the left, out of frame. The largest crater shown in the images is thought to be around 620 meters across, according to the space agency....

The India Palace, in downtown Santa Fe, was defaced with racist graffiti which included the phrases “White power,” “Trump 2020,” and racial slurs written across the restaurant’s walls and doors.

Rather than being a single area, the face is made up of not one, but 16 anatomically distinct compartments that gain and lose fatty tissue independently of one another over time, scientists at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center announced in a recent issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. The discovery is upending previous assumptions about the face’s structure, and its implications may reach beyond better face-lifts to a new understanding of obesity....
