A drug that curbs delusions in Parkinson’s patients did the same for people with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia in a study that was stopped early because the benefit seemed clear.If regulators agree, the drug could become the first treatment specifically for dementia-related psychosis and the first new medicine for Alzheimer’s in nearly two decades. It targets some of the most troubling symptoms that patients and caregivers face — hallucinations that often lead to anxiety, aggression, and physical and verbal abuse.Results were disclosed Wednesday at a conference in San Diego.“This would be a very important advance,” said one independent expert, Dr. Howard Fillit, chief science officer of the Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation.Although the field is focused on 801

With international borders closed, the final step of the process for adoptive parents have been put on hold. Many adoptive parents in the United States are unable to fly to other countries to bring their child home. “We’re in the process of adopting an 11-year-old girl from Columbia. Her name is Maria Camila,” Gwen Christensen said.Seth and Gwen Christensen spent years making this decision and filling out all the paperwork. “We went down there in March, the middle of March to adopt her, and finish everything up,” Gwen said. However, they were a few days too late, in terms of bringing home their child.“Then there was news they were closing the airport for international flights that following Monday, which started to make us realize ‘oh my goddess we’re not going to be done by Monday,” Seth explained. “And we have three kids back here [in the U.S.],” Gwen added. Days before they were scheduled to fly home with Maria Camila, courts closed across all of Colombia.“Everything was just going swimmingly until they shut down all the courts in the whole country,” Gwen said. This halted the official adoption process.“That Thursday night the lawyer said we think you should leave,” Gwen said. “That was a really, really hard night.” On Friday, they took Maria Camila back to her group home. “It was awful, but she was old enough,” Gwen explained. “We cried and she was like ok, going back for a couple months.” The Christensens flew back to the U.S. “I was glad to be back in the U.S., but it was really hard to be back without her,” Gwen said. The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic caused a lot of disruptions and halted a lot of international adoptions mid-process.“A year, we usually facilitate anywhere from 100 to 120 adoptions,” said Hollen Frazier, President of All God’s Children International. “So far, year-to-date since January, we’ve only had 12 children be able to make their way home to families.” The agency facilitates adoptions from a number of countries, including the adoption of Maria Camila. “For many of these families even to get to the point of travel to bring their child home, they've been already in it for two plus years,” Frazier said. “China was where we saw COVID-19 really take root early on in January and February, which has affected a lot of our families and adoption processes. And then in March, we saw that really take off and expand to really the world and in all seven of the countries we have adoption programs in,” Frazier explained.She said they’ve seen matching of parents with children really slow down since the pandemic started. “We went down another 26 percent over last year in the number of international adoptions,” Frazier said. This makes her concerned, as everything deemed non-essential is closed.“A lot of the countries we work in, the social services children need to be safe and then thrive, they’re not being deemed as essential,” she said. But some emerging options give her hope.“We’re really looking at new ways in utilizing technology to leverage and expand the work we’re doing,” Frazier said. For example, usually Haiti adoptive parents have to go on two trips to the country – the first is a socialization period, and then months later they go back for a final trip. But with technology, that has changed.“The Haitian Central Authority announced they'll allow that first trip to happen via Zoom,” Frazier explained. She said this is a step in the right direction. “It is hopeful to see some countries are now starting to really think through ways we can continue to progress these adoptions, so we are being child-centered and focused on how we can get these kids home,” she said. As for Seth and Gwen, they keep in touch with Maria Camila via video chat, until the day Colombian borders and the legal system open up again.“We want to be able to bring her home and start having her new life,” Gwen said.  3897

WASHINGTON, D.C. – When it comes to gun control in America, no state is confronting the issue harder right now than Virginia. For the first time in more than two decades, Virginia elected and just swore in a new state legislature controlled by Democrats. “Virginia is officially blue, congratulations,” said Gov. Ralph Northam, D-Virginia, on election night 2019. The new Democrat-controlled state legislature is vowing to pass gun control measures. That’s prompting some local governments to make their own moves by declaring themselves “Second Amendment Sanctuary” cities and counties. So far, more than 100 cities and counties in Virginia have declared themselves “Second Amendment Sanctuaries.” They’re not the only ones: from Florida to Colorado to Nevada and elsewhere, local municipalities are voting in favor of designating themselves “Second Amendment Sanctuaries.”But what does it even mean? Georgetown Law professor Mary McCord says what each declaration says varies from place to place. “Some are very much directly stating that county officials or city officials will not enforce state law that implicates or regulates, in any way, shape or form, gun ownership,” McCord said. “Others are simply espousing a support for second amendment rights.” In the end, though, she said the declarations do not hold up to legal scrutiny. “They really have no legal effect,” McCord said. “In Virginia, for example -- the Virginia Constitution and Virginia state law is very clear that it is the general assembly of the entire state -- not of any particular locality. The General Assembly makes the general laws and that those laws are supreme -- and any local ordinances resolutions, etc., that are inconsistent with those laws are void and have no effect.”Virginia’s attorney general has concluded the same thing and added that any gun control measures passed by the state legislature will be enforced. 1916
