In this special edition of the podcast, Bill Finan—director of the Brookings Institution Press—talks with two of the authors of a new Brookings press book that explores America’s current political division from demographic and geographic perspectives. David Damore, Robert Lang, and Karen Danielsen, all professors at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, are co-authors of Blue Metros, Red States: The Shifting Urban-Rural Divide in America’s Swing States. Damore and Lang join Finan for this episode in which they address some of the factors that tend to make large metropolitan areas lean Democratic while existing in a sea of rural areas that are largely Republican. And, how do states like Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Texas—with both large urban areas and widespread rural areas—express this red-blue divide between rural and metropolitan areas? Listen also to find out which two counties in America could indicate which way the election is going on November 3.

EIP Pharma, Inc. (www.eippharma.com), a CNS-focused therapeutics company, today announced that the Phase 2 AscenD-LB study in patients with mild-to-moderate dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) met its primary endpoint of demonstrating an improvement in cognition as assessed by the Neuropsychological Test Battery (NTB). In the double-blind placebo-controlled study, patients receiving neflamapimod three times daily (TID) demonstrated significant improvement on the NTB compared to those who received either placebo or neflamapimod twice daily (BID); p=0.015, effect size (Cohen's d)=0.52. In addition, statistically significant improvements (p<0.05) or trends (p<0.1) were evident on multiple secondary clinical endpoints. The full results have been accepted as a late-breaking abstract and will be shared on November 7, 2020 during an oral presentation at the 13th Clinical Trials in Alzheimer's Disease (CTAD) meeting.
