When 18-year-old LeBron “Bronny" James, Jr. suffered cardiac arrest on Monday during a basketball workout at the University of Southern California, whose basketball team he committed to in May, he joined a lengthening list of prominent athletes who have done so in recent years. Then-University of Florida basketball player Keyontae Johnson collapsed during a game in 2020, and James’s current USC teammate, Vince Iwuchukwu, did the same during an informal team practice last summer.

JiDion recently found himself banned from all NBA-related events following his latest high-profile sports prank at a WNBA game. JiDion has a history of getting into trouble during athletic competitions, such as being kicked out of the US Open for getting a haircut while sitting courtside. However, this time, his prank went a step further, resulting in his expulsion from the game entirely. In a video uploaded on July 19, JiDion can be seen trolling players and fans at a WNBA game between the Minnesota Lynx and the Dallas Wings. During the match, a ball flew into the crowd near JiDion, who seized the opportunity to attempt a jump shot. Unfortunately for him, his impromptu stunt got him ejected from the game, with an arena staff member warning him about shooting the ball during the match. In another yet similar incident, JiDion attended another WNBA game in Los Angeles, where he took a nap on some courtside seats. Later, this second prank led to his eviction from the game and an extended ban from all NBA-related events. Now, his fans have flooded the WNBA's official Instagram account with sleeping emojis, referencing his video titled «Don't Sleep on the WNBA!»

Alzheimer's disease experts are revamping the way doctors diagnose patients with the progressive brain disorder — the most common type of dementia — by devising a seven-point rating scale based on cognitive and biological changes in the patient. The proposed guidelines, unveiled by experts on Sunday in a report issued at an Alzheimer's Association conference in Amsterdam, embrace a numerical staging system assessing disease progression similar to the one used in cancer diagnoses. They also eliminate the use of terms like mild, moderate and severe. The revamp — replacing guidelines issued in 2018 — was prompted by the increased availability of tests detecting key Alzheimer's-related proteins such as beta amyloid in the blood and new treatments that require confirmation of disease pathology prior to use. The new system is designed to be more accurate and better reflect a person's underlying disease, according to Dr. Clifford Jack of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, lead author of the report sponsored by the Alzheimer's Association and the National Institute of Aging, a part of the U.S. government's National Institutes of Health. The change comes at a time when doctors are preparing to identify and treat patients with Eisai and Biogen's drug Leqembi, which won Food and Drug Administration approval this month, and Eli Lilly's experimental drug donanemab, which is now under FDA review.
