Memory was preserved over time in people who had primary progressive aphasia (PPA) with Alzheimer s disease, a small study showed.
Episodic memory was preserved at initial testing and did not decline 2.35 years later, at which time PPA symptoms had been present for 6.26 years, though language skills fell significantly, reported M. Marsel Mesulam, MD, of Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, and co-authors in While we knew that the memories of people with primary progressive aphasia were not affected at first, we did not know if they maintained their memory functioning over years, Mesulam said in a statement. This has been difficult to determine because most memory tests rely on verbal skills that these people have lost or are losing.

Two reports suggested value in trying newer communication methods to check in on patients recovering from surgery, the downside being that some health disparities may be worsened depending on the patients preferred language and digital literacy.
In the first study, investigators showed that telemedicine was sufficient as a way to follow up with patients who were discharged after low-risk surgery, though their small trial had been halted by COVID-19.
Video-based postdischarge visits were noninferior to in-hospital follow-up in terms of the proportion of patients returning for a hospital encounter within 30 days (12.8% vs 13.3%,
P=0.89), according to Caroline Reinke, MD, MSHP, of Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, and colleagues.

the condition can be temporary or permanent. dianna couldn t remember the attack or anything that happened immediately preceding the attack. the doctors had warned us, don t tell her. don t fill in those gaps. she s got to have the process of recovering this memory on her own. if you fill it in, then that s going to be her memory. after weeks in the hospital and still with great difficulty speaking, dianna was allowed to return home with her husband, kevin. but three months after the assault, something happened. as dianna and her mother were in the waiting room of a doctor s office, a series of pictures in a baby magazine triggered something she had forgotten. frantically she pointed to her stomach, apparently to indicate her pregnancy, and then she pointed to her wedding ring.
