Alzheimer's disease. Aducanemab (brand name Aduhelm), once hoped to be a breakthrough, received 'accelerated approval' from the FDA but reported disappointing clinical trial results. However, there is new hope for Alzheimer's treatment as the FDA grants full approval to a promising new drug named 'Lecanemab.' This drug is being sold by Eisai under the brand name 'Leqembi.' New clinical trial results for another Alzheimer's drug called 'donanemab' are also expected in the next few weeks. This drug has shown impressive preliminary results. Lecanemab could offer a fresh start in the treatment of Alzheimer's patients. The clinical data for Lecanemab shows very promising results, which the FDA approved just last month. The preliminary results from donanemab seem more impressive, but they need to be confirmed in the reports expected to be received soon. Lecanemab cannot cure Alzheimer's disease, but it has reportedly proven to slow down the loss of cognitive function. However, the long-term effects of the drug remain unknown. In a clinical trial involving 1,800 patients, Lecanemab was found to slow cognitive decline by an average of 27% over 18 months. Sanjeev Vaishnavi, a clinical neurologist at the Penn Memory Center, suggests that the logistical challenges for the drug could be daunting.

IPL version of the much talked about Impact Player Rule will be used in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy (SMAT) beginning October 16. The Impact Player was introduced in SMAT last season but it had to be brought in by or before the 14th over and had to be named before the toss. However, this will change from next season as like the IPL, teams will be allowed to name four substitutes besides the playing eleven before the toss. Out of the four substitutes, only one can be used as an Impact Player by either team. The rule was approved at the BCCI Apex Council meeting in Mumbai on Friday. «Both teams are allowed to use one Impact Player per match. It is, however, not compulsory,» read one of the guidelines on the rule. Impact Player was used widely by the 10 IPL teams but the introduction of it divided opinions. Australian captain Ricky Ponting and Delhi Capitals head coach had said that it almost negated the role of an all-rounder in the side. «It actually almost negates the role of allrounders in the game now. So unless they're absolutely world-class and they're getting picked either as a batsman or as a bowler, not sort of a bits and pieces guy, then I don't think you'll see many, many teams this year actually use the guy that might bat at seven and maybe bowling over or two. Because you don't need those guys anymore,» Ponting had said.

Bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange Bittrex Inc received court permission Wednesday to borrow $7 million in bitcoin to fund the start of its Chapter 11 case. Seattle-based Bittrex filed for bankruptcy Monday, saying it intended to return customer funds and wind down its U.S. operations. The company's international affiliates will continue to operate crypto exchanges for customers outside of the U.S., but Bittrex said that the U.S. regulatory environment had become untenable after the SEC sued the company for allegedly running an unregistered securities exchange. Before filing for bankruptcy, Bittrex stopped accepting new deposits from U.S. customers and told its existing users to withdraw their crypto from the platform.

Affiliated exchanges based in Liechtenstein and Bermuda accounted for about 77% of the company's 5.4 million users as of March 27, according to court filings.
