Trouble sleeping? It may be Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer; News from the web:
In a study with mice, the scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found that trouble with sleeping may be an early sign of building up of plaques in the brain that is generally correlated with Alzheimer.
Finding an early signal can be important as it will help keeping the disease under control or at least slowing it down. This in itself does not yet indicate a new way to get to a medicine of some sort.

New biomarkers offer hope for Alzheimer
Alzheimer; News from the web:
An article has been published as supplement to the Journal of Alzheimer’s disease and it explores the development of imaging-based biomarkers that will have an impact on diagnosis before the disease process is set in motion.
Many of the detection tools we rely on today only help identify the issue once the disease symptoms are clearly visible, this research may provide a new way of detection that may in turn lead to a better understanding of the progression of the disease

The early form of the disease touches about 5% of people who will eventually be diagnosed with Alzheimer. The book tells the tale of lots of disbelieve in the community and immediate surroundings of the patient for this very early onset of the condition.

Popcorn causes Alzheimer’s disease?
Alzheimer, News from the web:
Diacetyl, used to produce that buttery flavor in, among other foods, microwavable popcorn, may be a cause for Alzheimer’s disease.
University of Minnesota drug-design expert Robert Vince, PhD, and colleagues found that diacetyl causes brain proteins to misfold into the Alzheimer’s-linked form called beta amyloid. Vince’s team also found that diacetyl has an architecture similar to a substance that makes beta-amyloid proteins clump together in the brain — clumping being a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease.
Although other experts claim that popcorn itself can be considered a healthy food, putting the butter on it and shaking your salt pot to heavily will cancel out any nutritional benefits.
