Georgia Leads the Way Is a Loved One Showing Signs of Memory Problems?

TIME TO TALK ABOUT DIAGNOSIS. It can be tough talking to a loved one about symptoms that might suggest Alzheimer’s Disease or a related dementia. But delaying diagnosis can lead to a host of issues, both for the person and those who care for them.

Georgia Memory Net (GMN) offers a guide that can help you have that difficult conversation in a productive and supportive way. You can find it at https://bit.ly/GMN_ConversationGuide.

If you or a loved one are ready for clarity on the underlying cause of memory symptoms, visit GaMemoryNet.org/referrals to learn how to get a referral to a GMN Memory Assessment Clinic for an accelerated, accurate diagnosis.

Dear Friends, Welcome to February. With the arrival of the second month of the year, I suppose we can say we’re solidly planted in 2023. There is so much happening here at GPB, and while this may be the shortest month of the year, we’ve done all we can to pack it with interesting stories, programs and events for you to attend. I often say that the differentiator between public media and commercial media is the opportunity we have to bring this directly to you, in the community where you live. GPB is here FOR you and we are here BECAUSE of you. Thank you so much for seeing the value proposition that our public television, radio, news, educational and digital services bring you every day. And the emphasis is on the word “service.”

As we move more into this year, we’ll talk more about that, but for now I’ll leave you with this thought – GPB is more than a media company, we are a vital service organization illuminating the truth, knowledge and civility we deserve.

This month, Wednesdays, February 8 -22 at 8 p.m., NATURE brings us the three-part series Dogs in the Wild, a fascinating look at the most widespread carnivore on the planet. Other highlights include a visit to Savannah with Samantha Brown’s Places to Love airing Sunday, February 19.

If you grew up playing the classic game Monopoly, you’ll be intrigued to learn about the tale of corporate double-dealing behind its creation explored in American Experience – Ruthless: Monopoly’s Secret History airing Monday, February 20 at 9 p.m.

This month, we’re also inviting you to join us for a screening of Storming Caesar’s Palace, a film exploring the pivotal work of activist Ruby Duncan. You can read more about that in the GPB In The Community section. In addition, you can read about the launch of NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest in this month’s radio section.

Also, check out the GPB KIDS section as we introduce the new PBS KIDS characters in Work it Out Wombats! joining our lineup. We’re also spotlighting helpful resources from PBS Parents to teach children about Black History Month and more.

Thank you again for your part in helping GPB serve Georgians with these dynamic programs and initiatives.

Warmest regards,

Bert Wesley Huffman GPB President and Chief Revenue Officer

NATURE: Dogs in the Wild Premieres Wednesday, February 8 at 8 PM

A

s Valentine’s Day approaches, you may be reminded of what it feels like to have a broken heart, but you may not know that members of other species can experience them as well, such as African wild dogs.

The story of “broken heart syndrome” in African wild dogs is just one of the fascinating highlights of Dogs in the Wild, a new three-part NATURE miniseries that travels the globe to reveal the secrets of the most successful carnivore on the planet: the canids.

Featuring astonishing cinematography, together with emotional and immersive storytelling, Dogs in the Wild explores how African wild dogs’ close emotional and social bonds with their family unit set them apart from other canids.

Additionally, the series explores the behavior of familiar canids including foxes, wolves and coyotes, to lesser-known ones like the Japanese raccoon dog, New Guinea singing dog, dholes and dingoes.

Bush Dog (Speothos venaticus). In the wet and humid rainforests of South America, the pack-living Bush Dog has partially webbed feet, which allows it to swim more efficiently. From episode one, “Meet the Family.” Credit: Matt Tomlinson / © BBC

“The series is a truly global exploration of the wild canids,” says series producer Rowan Crawford. “It immerses us in their world from the outset and I hope by the end, it makes viewers feel they’ve become part of the pack. I also hope, from a bigger picture point of view, that it makes viewers think more about how we are impacting the world, environments and animals around us.”

Episode Highlights: “Meet the Family” | February 8 Meet the many species of canids, the family of wild dogs. They are the most widespread carnivores on the planet. The formidable Arctic wolf can travel great distances across the tundra; while in Southern India, Dholes have 11 distinct calls to stand out from the pack.

“Secrets of Success” | February 15 How do wild dogs survive and thrive in the wild? Discover the secrets to their success, from Black-backed jackals who leap skywards to catch prey to agile Gray foxes that climb high into the trees.

“Defending Wild Dogs” | February 22 Join scientists and researchers across the globe as they go to extraordinary lengths to understand wild dogs. See the groundbreaking discoveries that are crucial to saving this incredible animal family.

GPB IN THE COMMUNITY Storming Caesars Palace Documentary Screening Highlights Pioneering Activist Ruby Duncan

A

fter losing her job as a hotel worker in Las Vegas, Ruby Duncan co-founded a welfare rights group of ordinary mothers who defied notions of the “welfare queen.” In a fight for a universal basic income in 1969, Ruby and other equality activists took on

the Nevada mob in organizing a massive protest that shut down Caesars Palace. Storming Caesars Palace, a film by Hazel Gurland-Pooler, challenges the pernicious lie of the “Welfare Queen,” and highlights the visionary leadership of low-income grassroots organizers whose courage, tenacity and dreams could not be quashed, against all odds.

Join us for a free community screening of this documentary film at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library in Atlanta on February 21 at 7 PM.

Three Questions with Emory’s Dr. Chad Hales Dr. Chad Hales is Georgia Memory Net’s Memory Assessment Clinic Core Lead. We asked him about new treatments for Alzheimer’s Disease that may be available in Georgia soon.

Can you tell us about lecanemab?

Lecanemab is a new Alzheimer’s disease infusion that may help slow the rate of cognitive decline based on early results of a large clinical trial. We are expecting the FDA and Medicare to discuss whether the medication should be approved and covered by insurance as we get into 2023. The medication may help patients who have very mild memory symptoms and confirmation of Alzheimer’s disease changes in the brain. Patients who have more significant memory problems as well as other exclusionary criteria (like prior brain bleeding, certain blood thinning medications, other significant medical conditions) will not be eligible.

What new opportunities do you foresee for the treatment of Alzheimer’s in the near future?

The most important next step for Alzheimer’s disease therapeutics is prevention. New therapies like lecanemab may work even better if given before memory symptoms start.

The AHEAD 3-45 clinical trial, currently

Sponsored by the Georgia Department of Human Services.

Managed by the Cognitive Neurology Program at Emory.

enrolling, is testing whether or not lecanemab will prevent the onset of symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease.

This is an incredible opportunity for those who have specific genetic risk for Alzheimer’s disease because it is using lecanemab, which may slow the rate of cognitive decline.

What should someone who thinks they or a loved one might have Alzheimer’s or a related dementia do next?

In order to treat memory problems, you must know precisely why the brain cells are not working so that the correct treatment can be started. This highlights why it is important to speak with your medical provider at the first sign of any memory concerns to see if additional workup or referral to the Georgia Memory Net is a good next step. As new disease modifying therapies for Alzheimer’s disease become available, we suspect that the earlier you start the medicines the more likely the medicines will provide benefit.
