Scientists are proposing a new way of understanding the genetics of Alzheimer's that would mean up to a fifth of patients would be considered to have a genetically caused form of the disease.Currently, the vast majority of Alzheimer's cases do not have a clearly identified cause. The new designation, proposed in a study published Monday, could broaden the scope of efforts to develop treatments, including gene therapy, and influence the design of clinical trials.It could also mean that hundreds of thousands of people in the United States alone could, if they wanted, receive a diagnosis of Alzheimer's before developing any symptoms of cognitive decline, even though there are currently no treatments for people at that stage.The new classification would make this type of Alzheimer...

Russia said on Monday it will hold military exercises with troops based near Ukraine to practice the possible use of nuclear weapons on the battlefield, raising tensions with the West after two European leaders raised the prospect of more Western intervention headed into the war.Such weapons, often called “tactical,” are designed for battlefield use and have smaller warheads than “strategic” nuclear weapons intended to strike cities.

He was 63 years old.His writer and editor, Robin Campillo, said he died of cancer in hospital.Cantet's best-known film was “Entre les Murs” (“The Class”), which won the Palme d'Or, the top prize of the Cannes Film Festival, in 2008 and was nominated for an Oscar as best film in foreign language. “The Class” was something new in French cinema: an extended snapshot of the interior of a school classroom in a working-class neighborhood of Paris, using a former teacher and real-life schoolchildren and walking a provocative line between documentary and fiction.This ambiguity infuses the film with a rare tension, as a hapless language teacher stru...
