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)

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)

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)

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)

A molecular basis for selective therapeutic intervention in Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer's disease, a complex neurological disorder, has as one of its hallmarks the presence of senile plaques in the brains of affected individuals.   view more (2005-10-07)

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)

Receptor critical in neurodegeneration reduces Alzheimer's plaque
Increasing the level of a protein that plays a key role in traumatic spinal cord injuries and multiple sclerosis reduces the concentration of disease-causing plaque in Alzheimer's disease.   view more (2006-02-03)

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)

Alzheimer's disease; new approach, new possibilities?
Scientists from the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) associated with the University of Antwerp have achieved a new breakthrough in their research on the origins of Alzheimer's disease.   view more (2005-07-28)

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)

Shape Matters: NC State Scientists Characterize Structure of Protein Involved in Preventing Alzheimer's, Huntington's Diseases
Scientists at North Carolina State University have effectively lifted the veil from an important protein that is linked to the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Huntington's.   view more (2006-07-26)

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)

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)
