NEW MAPPING TECHNIQUE FOR EARLIER DETECTION OF ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE (p 201)
An Early Report in this week’s issue of THE LANCET outlines an imaging technique that could identify the early progression of Alzheimer’s disease before the onset of clinical symptoms. The early diagnosis and monitoring of the progression of Alzheimer’s disease is important for... view more (2001-07-18)

Drugs may not delay onset of dementia; and more
Researchers have examined the evidence in favour of giving people considered to be close to developing dementia the drugs that are most commonly used to treat the condition itself.   view more (2007-11-27)

Blood clots may hold key to treating dementia
Spontaneous blood clots or debris from arterial disease in the brain (known as cerebral emboli) may hold the key to preventing or treating dementia, say researchers from the University of Manchester in this week's BMJ.   view more (2006-04-28)

CPAP improves sleep in patients with Alzheimer's disease, sleep-related breathing disorder
Patients with both Alzheimer disease and a sleep-related breathing disorder (SRBD) experience disrupted sleep, resulting in increased nocturnal awakenings and a decreased percentage of REM sleep.   view more (2007-06-11)

Imaging study links key genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease to myelin breakdown
A new UCLA imaging study shows that age-related breakdown of myelin, the fatty insulation coating the brain's internal wiring, correlates strongly with the presence of a key genetic risk factor for Alzheimer disease.   view more (2006-01-03)

Study implicates defective synapse generator in onset of Alzheimer's
A new UCLA/Veterans Affairs study implicates defects in the machinery that creates connections between brain cells as responsible for the onset of Alzheimer disease.   view more (2006-01-27)

Counselling people with dementia:
People with dementia can learn to cope with their fears and worries and to express their feelings – “Even if I forget my facts, I can remember my feelings!” said one 68 year old lady with Alzheimer’s Disease.   view more (2002-07-02)

Link between Alzheimer's disease and traumatic brain damage clarified
This week scientists of the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) will once again publish a breakthrough in their research regarding Alzheimer's disease.   view more (2005-08-04)

Alzheimer disease and the blood brain barrier: Is Abeta transport the key?
Increased production of the amyloid-beta (Abeta) peptide can lead to Abeta aggregation and buildup in the brain and rare familial forms of early onset Alzheimer disease (AD).   view more (2005-10-21)

Alzheimer's disease progresses more rapidly in highly educated people
High levels of education may help ward off Alzheimer's disease, but they also speed up its progression once developed, reveals research in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry.   view more (2006-02-16)

Higher folate levels linked to reduced risk for Alzheimer's disease
Individuals who take in higher levels of the nutrient folate through both diet and supplements may have a reduced risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.   view more (2007-01-09)

Gas-blockers might slow down Alzheimer's disease
A noxious gas speeds up brain degeneration in Alzheimer's disease, according to a study in the November 7 issue of The Journal of Experimental Medicine.   view more (2005-10-31)

Ground-breaking new insight into the development of Alzheimer's disease
According to estimates there are 85,000 Alzheimer patients in our country and approximately 20,000 new cases every year. This spectacular increase is due to the increasing ageing population. Unfortunately it is still unclear precisely which ageing process forms the basis of this spectacular rise in... view more (2008-04-23)

New synthetic compounds appear to prevent brain cell death
Spanish chemists have developed a promising set of synthetic compounds that one day could help slow or perhaps halt the progression of Alzheimer's disease and other neurological disorders.   view more (2005-12-21)

New biomarkers could help doctors spot Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases
Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's in their early stages can be difficult for physicians to spot, and many diagnoses are incorrect.   view more (2006-08-14)

Memantine appears effective and safe in moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease
Memantine, a drug approved for the treatment of Alzheimer disease, appears safe and effective in patients with moderate to severe cases of the condition, according to a study in the January issue of Archives of Neurology.   view more (2006-01-10)

Researchers map links between size of hippocampus and progression to Alzheimer's dementia
UCLA researchers sought to test the theory that the hippocampus - the area of the brain that processes memory - is smaller in patients with mild cognitive impairment who develop into Alzheimer's dementia, and that it is larger in patients with mild cognitive impairment who experience cognitive... view more (2006-05-09)

Cholesterol treatment, including statins, may slow Alzheimer's disease progression
Cholesterol lowering drugs, including statins, may slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease, concludes a study in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry.   view more (2005-11-17)

Rare form of Alzheimer's disease found in Camelford resident
A rare form of Alzheimer's disease has been discovered in a resident of Camelford, the town in south west England which bore the brunt of the accidental discharge of 20 tonnes of aluminium sulphate into the local water supply almost 20 years ago.   view more (2006-04-20)

Study shows fruit and vegetable juice consumption may reduce risk of Alzheimer's disease
Drinking fruit and vegetable juices frequently may delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease.   view more (2006-09-01)

Region of DNA strongly associated with Alzheimer's disease
An international team of researchers, led by investigators at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, are zeroing in on a gene that increases risk for Alzheimer's disease.   view more (2006-01-11)

Alzheimer's disease prevention may be easier than cure
Current hypotheses suggest that it is the accumulation over time of amyloid beta peptide 1-42 (Abeta42) that triggers changes in the brain that lead to cognitive dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease.   view more (2005-12-09)
