It reduces the protein amyloid in the brain of patients who are in the early stages of the disease.

The drug lecanemab will be sold under the brand name Leqembi and comes from the companies Eisai and Biogen.

Vattenfall writes that the high electricity costs will be especially felt for households with small margins in their budget and that there is ultimately the possibility of applying for deferment or partial payment. But the call is not to postpone the payment

– Winter continues in January, February and March. The call is therefore to pay as much as you can because there will be more electricity bills to be paid. So the main advice we give for the coming months is to review the electricity consumption you have at home, says William Fredriksson.
