An action plan to prevent Alzheimer’s disease
February 10, 2023

Memory loss, behavioural changes, cognitive deficits: Alzheimer’s disease leads to a dramatic loss of autonomy for those affected and has a heavy impact on health costs. Its prevention has become a real social challenge. An international task force, led by the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the Geneva University Hospitals (HUG), is setting out guidelines…

Initial Symptoms Could Predict How Fast Alzheimer’s Progresses
January 25, 2023April 8, 2025

Memory loss is the most common symptom associated with Alzheimer’s disease — the terrifying prospect of slowly forgetting yourself and everything around you. But people who exhibit memory loss early on in their dementia actually have a slower rate of decline than those who develop other symptoms earlier, a new study reports. Difficulty forming sentences, making plans,…

FDA approves Alzheimer’s drug that modestly slows the disease
January 13, 2023

U.S. health officials on Friday approved a closely watched Alzheimer’s drug that modestly slows the brain-robbing disease, albeit with potential safety risks that patients and their doctors will have to carefully weigh. The drug, Leqembi, is the first that’s been convincingly shown to slow the decline in memory and thinking that defines Alzheimer’s by targeting the disease’s…

Study shows that a new blood test can detect ‘toxic’ protein years before Alzheimer’s symptoms emerge.
December 13, 2022

Today, by and large, patients receive a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s only after they exhibit well-known signs of the disease, such as memory loss. By that point, the best treatment options simply slow further progression of symptoms. But research has shown that the seeds of Alzheimer’s are planted years — even decades — earlier, long before…

6 Foods That Boost Brain Health
November 15, 2022December 13, 2024

While most of us know that what we eat affects our bodies, a healthy diet also affects our brains. Regular foods can help keep your brain healthy and improve memory and concentration. While no magic pill – or food – prevents cognitive decline, a healthy dietary pattern that includes many plant-based foods, such as fruits,…

Risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s disease increases by 50-80% in older adults who caught COVID-19
September 13, 2022

In a study published today in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, researchers report that people 65 and older who contracted COVID-19 were more prone to developing Alzheimer’s disease in the year following their COVID diagnosis. And the highest risk was observed in women at least 85 years old. The findings showed that the risk for developing…

If This Sounds Like You, You May Develop Early Dementia
July 6, 2022July 6, 2022

A Yale Medicine neurologist discusses this early stage of memory loss. We’ve all walked into a room, only to have forgotten exactly why we are there. Or maybe our ability to recall names of long-lost friends or classmates isn’t quite what it used to be. These are normal signs of aging. But, if such events…

Astrocytic Urea Cycle in the Brain Controls Memory Impairment in Alzheimer’s Disease
June 29, 2022

The number of elderly suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease has been rapidly rising over the past decades. For a long time, scientists believed that misfolded aggregates of amyloid-beta protein accumulate and form plaques in the brain, leading to memory loss and neuronal death. However, the recent failures of the clinical trials indicate the pressing need to…

Promising Study for Treatment of Dementia
May 17, 2022

A Monash University led study has found a promising new treatment for patients with behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia, the second most common form of dementia in the under 60s — resulting in a stabilising of what would normally be escalating behavioural issues, and a slowing of brain shrinkage due to the disease. It is the…
