Research suggests that memory loss is one of the very few symptoms that may signal when 70-year-olds are at risk of developing dementia.
According to the study, several of the tests previously used to predict which elderly individuals risk developing dementia do not seem to work any longer and memory loss is the only factor that [...]
According to research, Alzheimer’s disease patients who have an episode of delirium are significantly more likely to experience rapid cognitive decline and memory loss than Alzheimer’s patients who didn’t experience delirium.
Delirium often develops in elderly patients during hospitalization or serious illness, and this acute state of confusion and agitation has long been suspected of having [...]
Tomatoes
Have you got a bad thing to say about ‘em? Ranging from purple to yellow, the juicy fruit that bursts with flavor is wonderful not only for its taste, but for its health properties as well. The red pigment in tomatoes is called lycopene, an antioxidant that is good for your eyes. Lycopene is more [...]
According to researchers, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as the pain relievers ibuprofen and naproxen, do not prevent Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Instead, the risk of developing dementia in the study’s very elderly population (most were over age 83 when they developed dementia) was 66 percent higher among heavy NSAID users than among [...]
New research suggests that a neuronal growth factor receptor, which has long been suspected to facilitate the toxic effects of beta amyloid in Alzheimer’s, actually protects the neuron in the periphery from beta amyloid-induced damage.
The receptor molecule in question, a protein better known as p75, regulates neuronal growth, survival, and degeneration, and guides nerve fibers [...]
Frequent consumption of fruits and vegetables, fish and omega-3 rich oils may decrease the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s, especially among ApoE ?4 noncarriers.
French scientists analyzed the relationship between dietary patterns and risk of dementia or Alzheimer’s adjusting for sociodemographic and vascular risk factors, and taking into account the ApoE ?4 genotype.
The researchers monitored the [...]
