Beta Blockers May Reduce Alzheimer’s Risk
Men taking beta blockers to treat high blood pressure may also be benefiting from an unintended side effect: a reduced chance of brain changes associated with Alzheimer’s disease.åÊ åÊThe Honolulu-Asia Aging Study ÛÓ which will be discussed next month at the American Academy of Neurology’s annual meeting in San Diego...
Alzheimer’s Often Misdiagnosed
Alzheimer’s disease may not be as prevalent as commonly believed. New research indicates that Alzheimer’s diagnoses often may be wrong. In a research study, only about half of 211 study subjects diagnosed with Alzheimer’s while alive were found during autopsies to have brain conditions commonly association with the disease. While...
Alzheimer’s Plaques Might Begin in the Liver
The brain äóìplaquesäó commonly associated with Alzheimer’s disease might actually originate in the liver, according to scientists at Scripps Research Institute in a study published in The Journal of Neuroscience Research. Researchers evaluated the effect of three different genes on the presence of amyloid-beta plaques in the brain. Lower gene...
No Strong Scientific Evidence to Support Several Measures for Alzheimer’s Prevention
An independent panel of medical experts has determined that there is no strong scientific evidence to support several measures for the prevention of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease. The panel said that there is ÛÏcurrently no evidence of even moderate scientific qualityÛ to support the notion that certain factors such...

Vitamin B Shows Promise for Alzheimer’s
Researchers at MIT found during clinical trials that a three-nutrient cocktail of B vitamins, phosopholipids and antioxidants was found to promote the growth of certain brain synapse connections that typically erode during the early stages of Alzheimer’s. The nutrients develop the fatty molecules that form brain cells and synapses. Over...
