Passion Struck with John R. Miles
Alzheimer’s Research, Doctored Data, and the Human Cost | Charles Piller – EP 722

My book, for example, and many of the articles I've written for science about Alzheimer's disease came out of that process of a tip. But I think one of the most important things to say about how do I assess ideas and decide whether it's suitable is that my stories often involve a great degree of skepticism about other people's work, about whether they're doing work that's valid and perhaps whether it's been corrupted.

Alzheimer’s Research, Doctored Data, and the Human Cost | Charles Piller – EP 722

And because of that, it's incumbent on me to also have skepticism about my own ideas. Journalists, just like scientists and almost everybody, can be subject to expectation bias. In other words, the idea that

What we're after, the story that we think would feed our determination to get it in such a way that we might overlook details or ideas that could contradict it. And so what I try to do is to test my thinking, to test my ideas in various ways to ensure that I'm not

Alzheimer’s Research, Doctored Data, and the Human Cost | Charles Piller – EP 722

going down a road that could prove to be a false idea and that could possibly be harmful and damage thinking that maybe is worthy of paying closer attention to. And so I do this as a multi-step process where I test my ideas, I test the ideas of others, and once I'm sure about both of those things, I know I've got a strong story to go forward on.

Kiitos, John, arvostan sitÀ kysymystÀ, koska ymmÀrrÀn Matthewa Schraggaa, joka on tÀrkeÀ charaktere minun kirjassani. Schragga, jonka kautta olin tutustunut hÀnelle, oli vanderbiltin yliopistossa työskennellyt yliopistossa. HÀn on neurosientisti, joten hÀn tekee labiattisia tutkimuksia ympÀristöstÀ ja siitÀ, kuinka se toimii. HÀn on myös neurologisti.

HÀn kÀsittelee henkilöitÀ, joilla on demensiaalisia systeemejÀ. HÀnellÀ on yksinkertainen nÀkökulma Alzheimerin ongelmasta, joka mielestÀni on tÀrkeÀÀ hÀnen suurimman ymmÀrryksensÀ tekemisessÀ. HÀn on yllÀttÀjÀ.

Passion Struck with John R. Miles
Alzheimer’s Research, Doctored Data, and the Human Cost | Charles Piller – EP 722

HÀn löysi erilaisia seminaareja tutkimuksia Alzheimerin tutkimuksessa. NÀmÀ ovat yksityiskohtaisia tutkimuksia, labiattisia tutkimuksia, jotka kÀsittelevÀt paljon ajatuksia tutkimuksessa. He kÀsittelevÀt ajatuksia amyloidin hypoteesiin Alzheimerin saavuttamisesta.

EhkÀ olisi parempi, ennen kuin vastaan sinun kysymyksesi suoraan Matthew Schragin kanssa, ettÀ otetaan takaisin ja kertoo, mikÀ on MLA-tyyppi ja miksi se vaikuttaa. Jos pahoittaa minua, aion kÀsitellÀ.

Alzheimer’s Research, Doctored Data, and the Human Cost | Charles Piller – EP 722

I'm going to step back very briefly, more than 100 years, to the guy who discovered, if you want to put it that way, Alzheimer's disease, the namesake Alois Alzheimer, a German scientist. And he, in doing an autopsy of a very...

hÀnen terveellisenlyöntÀinen henkilö, joka kuoli. HÀn tutustui ajalleen ja löysi nÀitÀ rakenteita, amyloidiproteiinit, joita mainitsit, ja myös toinen proteiini nimeltÀ tau, joka ottaa huomioon nÀitÀ yksityiskohtaisia muotoja syrjinnÀn sisÀllÀ. Silloin on nÀitÀ kaksi proteiiniÀ, amyloidiproteiinit, tau ja lyönti. Se tuli definiiviseen saavutukseen Alzheimerin saavutukseen.

Useimmissa vuosissa Alzheimerin onnistuminen oli melko pieni asia tieteellisessÀ maassa. Ja syy on vain demograafinen. Aiemmissa 1900-luvun aikana ei ollut niin paljon ihmisiÀ, joilla Alzheimerin onnistuminen olisi ollut todella tÀrkeÀ ongelma.

Passion Struck with John R. Miles
Alzheimer’s Research, Doctored Data, and the Human Cost | Charles Piller – EP 722

As medical science advanced in the 40s, 50s, 60s, suddenly we had vaccines, we had antibiotics, we had medical advances in cancer and heart disease. The demographics shifted radically. Many more people were living to old age and many more people were having the symptoms of dementia attributed to Alzheimer's disease.

Joten seuraavaksi monimutkaisuus rahoja meni tÀhÀn 70-luvulla, 80-luvulla ja 90-luvulla, ja monta kymmeniÀ sÀÀntöjÀ alkoi tutkia tÀtÀ. Koska definiivinen, kuten ensimmÀisenÀ sanoit, oli Dr. Alzheimerin,

It was strongly felt that the linchpin to this disease was amyloid plaques. And so I can state the amyloid hypothesis very simply. It's that the accumulation of amyloid plaques in the brain, which

joita melkein kaikki ovat, liittyvÀt biofeminaalisiin tapahtumiin, joiden jÀlkeen ne tappavat taitoja, ne tappavat neuronit, jotka tekevÀt elÀmÀÀ, ja joiden jÀlkeen ne tappavat dementiaa. Se tuntui todella vahvasti, ettÀ nÀiden ammeloidipleksien poistamiseksi elÀmÀÀ, olisi mahdollisuus arvostaa, ja ehkÀ jopa vastata, Alzheimerin saavuttamisen kognitiivisen pysyvÀn.

TÀmÀn ajan aikana, kun miljoonia dollaria pysyttiin tutkimukseen ja miljoonia dollaria pysyttiin ruokakÀytÀnnön kehittÀmisestÀ, jossa oli erittÀin haastavaa eri tapahtumaa. RuokakÀytÀntö ja ruokakÀytÀntö, jotka voivat poistaa nÀitÀ taitoja ympÀristöön,

were found to not be effective in arresting or improving the cognitive symptoms of the disease. And in fact, many of them also had very dangerous side effects, including brain swelling and bleeding that in few cases could even cause death. And so you had these ineffective drugs that were also dangerous to use.

So some contradictions came into play in the scientific community. Some doubts about whether they were on the right track came into play.

Alzheimer’s Research, Doctored Data, and the Human Cost | Charles Piller – EP 722

So I'm getting closer to answering your question directly about Matthew Schrag. So forgive me for this long digression, but I think it's important to get a little bit of the scientific background to understand where the field stood. And so what happened was during this period of doubt, during this period of soul searching on the part of the scientific community, a brilliant experiment took place. And this was at the University of Minnesota.

TÀmÀn kokemuksen jÀlkeen tutkijat pystyivÀt tuomaan genetiikallisesti tekijöitÀ, jotka tuovat ammeloiden plakseja ja muista ammeloiden proteiineista. Tutkijat saivat yhden erityisen ammeloiden proteiinin nimeltÀ ammeloiden beta-star-56-proteiin.
