Kisunla therapy linked to surprising brain plaque clearance in Broward Alzheimer's patient

A 79-year-old Pompano Beach man, Scott Milinsky, became Florida’s second patient to receive Kisunla, Eli Lilly’s anti-amyloid Alzheimer’s drug, at Broward Health North. After 18 infusions over about 18 months, a final PET scan showed the brain’s amyloid plaques were cleared, offering hope by slowing cognitive decline—though it is not a cure since TAU tangles persist. The Broward Health center is treating more than 60 patients with Kisunla.

Michael Anthony Addison, a 30-year-old Broward man, faces 12 charges, including two counts of killing a human with a vehicle, after causing a fatal crash on I-95 that claimed the lives of a Florida Highway Patrol trooper and a truck driver. The trooper, Zachary Fink, was killed while attempting to detain Addison, a convicted felon, who was fleeing from authorities.

Addison was eventually taken into custody after a manhunt.

Jury awards $800K in hot McNugget lawsuit, leaving girl severely burned

A Broward jury has awarded $800,000 in damages in a lawsuit where parents alleged that hot chicken McNuggets from a local McDonald's franchise left their 4-year-old daughter severely burned. The parents were seeking $15 million for the burn, but the jury deliberated for two hours and reached the $800,000 amount. The lawsuit found fault with both McDonald's and the franchisee for failure to warn about the foreseeable risks of harm. McDonald's argued that food safety rules require McNuggets to be hot enough, and what happens to a McNugget once it leaves the drive-thru window is beyond their control.
