The disease is well advanced by the time memory and behavior are affected.“Alzheimer’s disease begins in the brain decades before the first symptoms of memory loss,” said Dr. Richard Isaacson, an Alzheimer’s preventive neurologist who is also at the Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases.If doctors are able to identify the disease in its earliest stages, people could then make healthy lifesty...

By Lou Kesten, Bassem Mroue and Jon Gambrell | Associated PressBEIRUT — A strike Thursday by a suspected Iranian-made drone killed a U.S. contractor and wounded six other Americans in northeast Syria, and U.S. forces retaliated with airstrikes on sites in Syria used by groups affiliated with Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, the Pentagon said. Activists said the U.S. bombing killed at least four people.While it’s not the first time the U.S. and Iran have traded strikes in Syria, the attack and the U.S. response threaten to upend recent efforts to deescalate tensions across the wider Middle East, whose rival powers have made steps toward détente in recent days after years of turmoil.U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a statement that the American intelligence community had determined the drone was of Iranian origin, but offered no other immediate evidence to support the claim. The drone hit a coalition base in the northeast Syrian city of Hasaka. The wounded included f...

Selena Gomez has finally spoken out on the supposed feud that’s been going on between her and Hailey Bieber, telling fans she’s unhappy to hear that Bieber has been the target of “death threats and hateful negativity.”In a statement Friday, Gomez said she heard from Hailey Bieber herself to say that she’s been tormented by the recent scrutiny of their relationship.

But she asked her fans and others on social media to tone down the rhetoric.“Hailey Bieber reached out to me and let me know that she has been receiving death threats and such hateful negativity,” Gomez wrote in an Instagram Story, s...

A convicted torturer and former international fugitive accused of masterminding an audacious 2016 escape from an Orange County jail was sentenced Friday, March 24, to two years and eight months behind bars for his role in the headline-grabbing jailbreak.A week after an Orange County Superior Court jury convicted Hossein Nayeri of taking part in the brazen break-out from the Men’s Central jail in Santa Ana and also found him guilty of stealing a van while on the lam, Nayeri’s lengthy legal journey appears to have come to an end.This case won’t likely affect Nayeri much — he was already sentenced to a life in prison.Over the past decade Nayeri, now 44, has become one of Orange County’s most notorious inmates, a man District Attorney Todd Spitzer recently described as “one of America’s most dangerous criminals,” who past prosecutors have called a “psychopath,” a “truly diabolical criminal” and compared to the fictional Hannibal Lecter.Orange County Superior Court Judge Larry Yellin, ju...
