How diagnostics and treatment for Alzheimer's and other causes of dementia are changing completely
When Jason Karlawish started working with dementia patients in the late '90s, there often wasn't much he could offer them. "I gave them a diagnosis," he told host Torie Bosch on this week's episode of the "First Opinion Podcast," but had limited medications to prescribe. Now Karlawish — who is STAT's Neurotransmissions columnist; a professor of medicine, medical ethics, health policy, and neurology at the University of Pennsylvania; co-director of the Penn Memory Center; and executive producer of the "Age of Aging" podcast — says a revolution is taking place in dementia care, thanks to diagnostics that are removing uncertainty and treatments that actually have some effect.
