A new study substantiates the link between untreated high blood pressure and an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease for adults 60 and older. 

The research, published Wednesday in the online issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, is a review of 14 international studies involving 31,250 people.

Participants, who were 72 years old on average, were followed for around four years for cognitive changes and dementia diagnoses.

Medically reviewed by Christopher Lee, MDMedically reviewed by Christopher Lee, MDHeart cancer develops when abnormal cells in the heart muscle or surrounding tissues grow uncontrollably, forming a malignant (cancerous) tumor. Cancerous heart tumors (known as cardiac sarcomas) are extremely rare, accounting for less than 0.028% of all cancer diagnoses annually.  Secondary heart cancer is when cancer cells metastasize (spread) to the heart from a tumor that started in nearby organs or body tissues. Secondary heart cancer is about 30 to 50 times more common than primary heart cancer. However, it is still rare, affecting approximately 10% of people with lung cancer,...

Multiple sclerosis appears to protect against Alzheimer’s disease

The pursuit of a cure for Alzheimer's disease is becoming an increasingly competitive and contentious quest with recent years witnessing several important controversies. In July 2022, Science magazine reported that a key 2006 research paper, published in the prestigious journal Nature, which identified a subtype of brain protein called beta-amyloid as the cause of Alzheimer's, may have been based on fabricated data.

Alzheimer's May Not Actually Be a Brain Disease, Expert Reveals

Alzheimer’s disease research and drug development is evolving at a rapid pace. Decades of research has led to the approval of the first disease-modifying drugs and new pathological discoveries. The first blood-based biomarker tests will bring equitable access to screening and diagnosis while accelerating clinical research. These major breakthroughs in the last few years alone represent a pivotal time in the Alzheimer’s disease landscape.

Mosquitoes are the deadliest animals in the world because of the diseases they carry, such as malaria and dengue. Mosquito-borne diseases including dengue are becoming more widespread, which may be because mosquitoes that carry certain pathogens are moving into new areas, or are being given a reproductive boost by weather conditions that lead to much higher numbers of mosquitoes. Some studies have shown that certain populations of mosquitoes that are exposed to higher temperatures also beomce more heat tolerant. However, other research has indicated that higher temperatures may reduce the transmission of mosquito-borne disease. Our environment is a complex system, and scientists are still trying to understand how mosquitoes and the illnesses they carry will be influenced by climate change, and how we will be affected by those changes.

New research on tadpoles shows that the FDA-approved drug donepezil induces a reversible torpor-like state in the animals. Researchers at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University have successfully induced a hibernation-like torpor state in Xenopus laevis tadpoles using donepezil (DNP), a drug approved by the FDA for treating Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s disease is an insidious illness that slowly robs individuals of their memories, personalities and relationships. It is a progressive neurological disorder that causes brain atrophy and cell death, which contributes to continuous decline in thinking, behavioral and social skills. This eventually affects a person’s ability to live independently.
