Alzheimer treatment 300x199 Create test for early detection of Alzheimers Signs of the disease in the spinal fluid to determine if the amount of progress to dementia memory.

A new way to test for signs of Alzheimer disease in cerebrospinal fluid can help to more accurately identify which people with mild memory deficits will advance to full-blown dementia, researchers reported on Wednesday.

The findings, published in the Neurology journal, are part of a drive to find new ways to diagnose Alzheimer’s early, before the disease causes damage.

“Being able to identify early in the process that will develop Alzheimer’s will be crucial in the future,” said Dr. Robert Perneczky Technical University of Munich in Germany, who led the study.

“Once we have treatments that can prevent Alzheimer disease, we could start treating very early and hopefully avoid the loss of memory and thinking abilities that occur with this devastating disease,” he said.

Current evidence of cerebrospinal fluid to look for Alzheimer disease is an imbalance of two proteins: the beta-amyloid, which forms sticky plaques in the brain, and tau, which considered a marker of neuronal damage. Read the rest of this entry »

09a 290x300 AlzheimerAlzheimer’s is a disease that attacks memory. Alzheimer’s itself is known since 1907 and discovered by a Dr. Alois Alzheimer who observed in women aged 51 years. Women’s object observation by Dr. Alois Alzheimer’s has lost his memory but not impaired movement, coordination and reflexes.

Alzheimer’s caused by a nerve fiber in a coiled Alzheimer’s (neuro fibrillary), but it also lumps in nerve proteins or amyloid plaques. Clumps of this protein that causes interference with the nerve cells that result in the neurons of the brain cannot deliver the message.

Alzheimer’s disease sufferers may interfere with memory, can even interfere with language skills, eating and waste water, can lead to mental illness.

Alzheimer’s still has not been established the main causes, one opinion suggested that Alzheimer’s is a genetic disease or hereditary. But that certainly is a lot of diseases occur in women aged over 50 years.
