Reversing Memory Loss using Science and Other Science Tech

#HappyWednesday Today, we’re going a health and technology digest that features all the latest happenings around the world.

Reversing Memory Loss using Science

Every 66 seconds, a person from the U.S. develops Alzheimer’s disease. At the University of California, Los Angeles researchers have found a way to reverse memory loss through a technique that includes changes to their lifestyle and other treatments.

“Alzheimer's disease is one of the most significant healthcare problems nationally and globally,” the researchers wrote in their published study, “The therapeutic approach used was programmatic and personalized rather than monotherapeutic and invariant, and was dubbed metabolic enhancement for neurodegeneration (MEND). Patients who had had to discontinue work were able to return to work, and those struggling at work were able to improve their performance. The patients, their spouses, and their co-workers all reported clear improvements.”

When asked about the implications of their study, they were very optimistic about curing Alzheimer’s disease and reversing memory loss. “The magnitude of the improvement is unprecedented, providing additional objective evidence that this programmatic approach to cognitive decline is highly effective. These results have far-reaching implications for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, MCI, and SCI; for personalized programs that may enhance pharmaceutical efficacy.”

This Device Sucks Food from Your Body to Make You Slim

AspireAssist, a device engineered by Aspire Bariatrics – a company that develops medical solutions for weight loss, removes 30% of the stomach’s contents before our body can digest it. If you think you need to wait till 2020 to get your hands on this piece of technology, you’re wrong - it’s already FDA-approved!

“The AspireAssist helps [weight loss] quickly through an innovative approach to portion control, reducing the number of calories absorbed by [the] body. It allows patients to remove about 30% of the food from the stomach before the calories are absorbed into the body, causing weight loss,” the company states, “This therapy is used in conjunction with lifestyle counseling. This program combines one-on-one counseling and group support meetings.”

Computer Researchers Make CPU with 1000 Cores

Scientists at UC Davis’ Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering have just created a super-efficient CPU that has 1000 cores.

“The energy-efficient ‘KiloCore’ chip has a maximum computation rate of 1.78 trillion instructions per second and contains 621 million transistors,” the team claims, “To the best of our knowledge, it is the world’s first 1,000-processor chip and it is the highest clock-rate processor ever designed in a university.”
