A simple blood test to diagnose Alzheimer's disease ( the ptau-217 blood test) soon may replace more invasive and expensive screening methods such as spinal taps and brain scans.
Researchers have developed an AI method that can predict Alzheimer's Disease up to seven years before the onset of symptoms, utilizing machine learning to analyze patient records.
Cognitive impairment in some US veterans may be due to treatable hepatic encephalopathy (HE) rather than dementia, new research suggested.
In a recent systematic review and network meta-analysis published in the British Medical Journal, researchers determined the potentially most effective exercise regimen and dosage in managing major depressive disorder (MDD) in comparison to antidepressants, psychotherapy, and control interventions.

Paramagnetic rim lesions (PRLs) have been linked to higher clinical disease severity and relapse frequency. However, it remains unclear whether PRLs predict future, long-term disease progression.
In a recent study in the journal Nature Communications, researchers systematically reviewed and synthesized the literature on the health risks associated with chewing tobacco. Their results indicate that people who chew tobacco are significantly more likely to suffer from strokes and several cancers.
A new study suggests a potential association between erectile dysfunction (ED) drugs and a reduced risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, though it does not establish causality.
Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have discovered that odors stimulate specific brain cells that may play a role in rapid `go, no-go' decision making.
Increasing research in the field of dementia and Alzheimer's disease report that a shift towards healthy lifestyle choices can decrease the risk of these diseases, and approximately 40% of dementia cases across the world could theoretically be prevented if the global population makes significant changes towards a healthier lifestyle.
