Part the First: Anti-amyloid Antibodies and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD).  A Cochrane review of monoclonal antibodies targeting amyloid plaques in AD has found that these drugs have little to no effect on cognitive function of AD patients.  Cochrane reviews are, to use one of the favorite tropes of the current administration, considered the “gold standard” of their kind.  While they can be useful, they are not always conclusive in identifying what works and what doesn’t in the treatment of disease.  It all depends on the published trials included in the review and how well done they were. But in this case,…

Are their replacements — whether eventual or immediate — on the way?The best recent example might be Kirk Cousins. Weeks after signing a four-year, $180 million deal with the Falcons, Cousins saw Atlanta draft Michael Penix Jr. at No. 8 overall with nary even a heads-up that the shocking move was in the works.
