Washington, Jan 15 (ANI): A simple and economical eye test could soon be able to detect and diagnose major neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’’s, much before than is currently possible, according to new research by UCL scientists.
Led by Professors Francesca Cordeiro and Stephen Moss, the study puts forward a new technique that enables retinal, and [...]
Washington, October 22 (ANI): A new study has found that early blood tests of people who suffer from ‘mild cognitive impairment’ can actually help in diagnosing Alzheimer’’s disease.
MCI exhibits itself with memory disturbances, however without any major impact on day-to-day life.
It has been noted that some MCI patients go on to develop Alzheimer’’s disease within [...]
Washington, Oct 22 (ANI): A new study has shown that eyes could prove to be a potential gateway to identify whether or not a person has Alzheimer’s disease.
Researchers from University of California, Irvine have found that retinas in mice genetically altered to have Alzheimer’’s undergo changes similar to those that occur in the brain – [...]
Washington, Sept 25 (ANI): Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found a link between sleep loss and increase in Alzheimer’’s plaques.
In the study, published in Science Express, researchers found that chronic sleep deprivation in a mouse model of Alzheimer’’s disease makes Alzheimer’’s brain plaques appear earlier and more often.
They also [...]
Washington, Feb 16 (ANI):It may soon be possible to treat the brains of patients with Alzheimer’’s disease taking the aid of their livers, say researchers.
In Alzheimer’’s disease, the brain accumulates a molecule called A-beta that can be toxic to its cells, and finding ways to clear A-beta may be a key to its treatment or [...]
London: In a study on animals, researchers have found that treatment with a naturally occurring protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) could potentially provide long-lasting protection by slowing, or even stopping, the progression of Alzheimer’’s disease.
The study by researchers led by University of California, San Diego, showed that Memory loss, cognitive impairment, brain cell degeneration, [...]
