    Diagnosing Alzheimer’s and Other Dementias

In this episode, Victor Lane Rose, Executive Director, of Aging and Ambulatory Care at ECRI, discusses diagnosis and describes why patient, family, and caregiver participation is especially important in diagnosing Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

    Despite progress in syphilis treatment over the past century, a concerning increase in the rate of congenital syphilis in newborns has emerged in recent years.
