No one else was saying it, so I did. What do the real data say about all these new anti-Alzheimer's drugs you've been reading about? It's the conversation the Alzheimer's field isn't having. @trycreyos rdcu.be/2b4e2q9rLPUa

Amazing to see this out! We show that fNIRS combined with machine learning in the first days after serious brain injury can predict outcome in the ICU, outperforming clinical models. Stunning work by my PhD student Matthew Kolisnyk and co (no paywall). rdcu.be/fvL0B
