No genetic evidence found to prove hearing loss causes Alzheimer's disease
The relationship between hearing loss and Alzheimer`s disease has been in the spotlight for decades, with recent research focussing on risk factors that, if modified during a person`s lifetime, could potentially prevent a person developing Alzheimer`s disease.
Oct 16, 2020, 02:12 AM ISTOlder people who have experienced falls should be screened for Alzheimer`s: Study
The findings, available online in the Journal of Alzheimer`s Disease, suggest that older people who have experienced falls should be screened for Alzheimer`s and that new strategies may be needed to reduce the risk of falling for people in the disease`s early stages.
Sep 15, 2020, 23:04 PM ISTScientists discover protective Alzheimer's gene, develop rapid drug-testing platform
The main challenge in testing Alzheimer`s drugs in clinical trials is that participants need to have symptoms. But once people have symptoms, it is usually too late for treatments to have a significant effect, as many brain cells have already died.
Jul 11, 2020, 02:00 AM ISTFeeling sleepy during the day may trigger Alzheimer's: Researchers
In a significant finding, Johns Hopkins researchers have revealed that those who feel sleepy during the day are nearly three times more likely to develop Alzheimer`s disease than those who have a good night's sleep.
Sep 07, 2018, 15:23 PM ISTLack of sleep leads to Alzheimer`s disease
According to researchers, treating conditions like sleep apnea and hypopnea (shallow breathing) might lower the risk of dementia or at least slow its progression.
Jul 19, 2017, 14:16 PM ISTGut bacteria might help slow down ageing
Researchers identified a bacteria -- C.elegans -- whose genes and compounds extend the life as well as slow down the progression of tumours and the accumulation of amyloid-beta -- a compound associated with Alzheimer`s disease.
