Caring for Alzheimer's

Posts Tagged ‘Science’

this is my science project for genetic diseases! i chose alzheimer’s to the song, Forget You, by Cee Lo Green (although this is the Glee cast version) -subtitles included special thanks to my dog and my little sister for being in my video! check out her channel; she is AMAZING with hair! www.youtube.com PS i am not trying to insult people with Alzheimer’s in any way…

Professor Kaarin Anstey addresses the question, “Is Alzheimer’s disease preventable?” in a public lecture for the Australian Association of Gerontology. The event was held at the CSIRO Discovery Centre on 17 February 2011. Professor Anstey’s presentation begins with background on Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, then focuses on the risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease and the scientific evidence for each. She evaluates six categories of risk factors: demographic factors, genes, medical conditions, lifestyle factors, toxic exposures, and psychosocial factors. Professor Kaarin Anstey is Director of the DCRC – Early Diagnosis and Prevention, Director of the Ageing Research Unit at the Centre for Mental Health Research, and an NHMRC Senior Research Fellow. She completed her PhD in cognitive ageing in 1997 and undertook an NHMRC Training Fellowship at Flinders University and Neuroscience Research Australia from 1998-2001. Her research interests include the epidemiology of cognitive decline and dementia, depression in late life, predictors of longevity, psychological well being, driving and mobility, and longitudinal methods. She is the Principal Investigator on an NHMRC Strategic Grant on Ageing Well Ageing Productively that involves pooling 9 longitudinal ageing studies to model health and ageing.

A study of American soldiers has concluded that a knock on the head makes a person more vulnerable to Alzheimer’s disease later in life. The Walter Reed Army Medical Center in the US looked into 250000 people’s medical histories. It found that traumatic brain injury roughly doubled the incidence of people developing dementia…. www.euronews.net

I am really asking whether or not all the news we hear about the success of parkinson’ts research is going to translate into applied science within my life time. (I am 60 years old)

A breakthrough in sensing at Rice University promises to make finding signs of Alzheimer’s disease nearly as efficient as switching on a light. The lab of Rice bioengineer Angel Martí is testing metallic molecules that naturally attach themselves to beta amyloid fibrills, which form plaques in the brains of Alzheimer’s sufferers. When molecules, complexes of dipyridophenazine ruthenium, latch onto amyloid fibrills, their photoluminescence increases 50-fold.
