Oh dear. I had high hopes for Evoke. I was involved with the ELAD trial of liraglutide, which was negative overall but with some tantalising suggestions there could be some benefit on the secondary outcomes. This result is a bit of a blow.

Blockbuster GLP-1 Diabetes and Weight Loss Drugs Fails in Alzheimer's Trial
Novo Nordisk, took a longshot gamble, and lost. Its GLP-1 drug semaglutide failed to treat Alzheimer’s in a trial that was halted.

Another post from yesterday’s walk at Scarhouse reservoir in Nidderdale in #NorthYorkshire. Rained the whole way round so plenty of water still to make its way into the reservoir. Very reassuring after it was only 1/3 full at the end of summer!

Essential research shows that particulate pollution—generated from motor fuels exhaust, tire wear, wildfires, factories, etc—is associated with dementia. More evidence that it is in the interest of public health to reduce pollution. (Gift link)
