Brain shrinkage linked to COVID-19 By Nicoletta Lanese COVID-19 may shrink the brain’s gray matter, primarily in areas of the brain involved in smell and memory processing, a large study suggests. These distinct changes in brain structure crop up in both people who required hospitalization for COVID-19 and those who had less severe infections, according to theContinue reading “Brain shrinkage linked to COVID-19 | Live Science”

Blood Test Might Yield Early Warning of Alzheimer’s
TUESDAY, Jan. 22, 2019 (HealthDay News) Leaky blood vessels in the brain may be an early sign of Alzheimer’s disease, researchers say. They followed 161 older adults for five years and found that those with the most severe memory declines had the greatest leakage in their brain’s blood vessels, regardless of whether the Alzheimer’s-related proteinsContinue reading “Blood Test Might Yield Early Warning of Alzheimer’s”
Researchers Halt The Development Of Alzheimer’s Disease And Partially Reverse Its Effects
Researchers at the Cleveland Clinic’s Lerner Research Institute have demonstrated that gradual reduction of an enzyme that contributes to the development of Alzheimer’s Disease can halt the disease’s development and reverse some its effects. Their work was reported on February 14th in the Journal of Experimental Medicine.The buildup of beta-amyloid plaques in the brain isContinue reading “Researchers Halt The Development Of Alzheimer’s Disease And Partially Reverse Its Effects”
Researchers report novel complementary effects of estrogen treatment in multiple sclerosis
HWH COMMENT > Does this mean that all the vegans/vegetarians who think phytoestrogens in tofu (soy) are as harmful as estrogen not produced by the human body should begin eating tofu again to stave off multiple sclerosis? I’m on board as ridiculous as this all seems, it makes perfect sense to me. So, an increase inContinue reading “Researchers report novel complementary effects of estrogen treatment in multiple sclerosis”
Major cause of dementia discovered – high brain urea
An international team of scientists have confirmed the discovery of a major cause of dementia, with important implications for possible treatment and diagnosis. Professor Garth Cooper from The University of Manchester, who leads the Manchester team, says the build-up of urea in the brain to toxic levels can cause brain damage – and eventually dementia.Continue reading “Major cause of dementia discovered – high brain urea”
Harvard researchers unveil new Alzheimer’s theory
Karen Weintraub, Special for USA TODAY 7:28 a.m. EDT May 27, 2016 Researchers at Harvard this week offered a new theory of Alzheimer’s Disease that – if true – would upend our understanding of the disease and suggest new routes for treatment and prevention.

FUNGUS FOUND IN BRAINS RAISES ALZHEIMER’S QUESTIONS
By Mariette Le RouxOctober 15, 2015 10:55 AM Traces of fungus have been discovered in the brains of Alzheimer’s sufferers, researchers said Thursday, relaunching the question: might the disease be caused by an infectious microbe? There is no conclusive evidence, but if the answer turns out to be “yes”, it means Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) mayContinue reading “FUNGUS FOUND IN BRAINS RAISES ALZHEIMER’S QUESTIONS”
