#Study of noninvasive retinal imaging device presented at Alzheimers conferencea noninvasive optical imaging device developed at Cedars-Sinai can provide early detection of changes that later occur in the brain
and are a classic sign of Alzheimer's disease according to preliminary results from investigators conducting a clinical trial in Australia.
The researchers will present their findings July 15 in an oral presentation at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference 2014 in Copenhagen Denmark.
In preliminary results in 40 patients the test could differentiate between Alzheimer's disease and non-Alzheimer's disease with 100 percent sensitivity and 80.6 percent specificity meaning that all people with the disease tested positive and most of the people without the disease tested negative.
The optical imaging exam appears to detect changes that occur 15-20 years before clinical diagnosis. It's a practical exam that could allow testing of new therapies at an earlier stage increasing our chances of altering the course of Alzheimer's disease said Shaun
Frost a biomedical scientist and the study manager at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation.
of beta-amyloid plaque in the brain is a hallmark sign of Alzheimer's but current tests detect changes only after the disease has advanced to late stages.

#Cocoa extract may counter specific mechanisms of Alzheimers diseasea specific preparation of cocoa-extract called Lavado may reduce damage to nerve pathways seen in Alzheimer's disease patients'brains long before they develop symptoms according to a study conducted at the Icahn School of medicine
at Mount sinai and published June 20 in the Journal of Alzheimer's disease (JAD. Specifically the study results using mice genetically engineered to mimic Alzheimer's disease suggest that Lavado cocoa extract prevents the protein Î-amyloid-(AÎ) from gradually forming sticky clumps in the brain
which are known to damage nerve cells as Alzheimer's disease progresses. Lavado cocoa is composed primarily of polyphenols antioxidants also found in fruits
and vegetables with past studies suggesting that they prevent degenerative diseases of the brain. The Mount sinai study results revolve around synapses the gaps between nerve cells.
Given that cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease is thought to start decades before symptoms appear we believe our results have broad implications for the prevention of Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
Evidence in the current study is the first to suggest that adequate quantities of specific cocoa polyphenols in the diet over time may prevent the glomming together of AÎ into oligomers that damage the brain as a means to prevent Alzheimer's disease.
The new study provides experimental evidence that Lavado cocoa extract may influence Alzheimer's disease mechanisms by modifying the physical structure of AÎ oligomers.

#DDT pesticide exposure linked to Alzheimers disease, study showsscientists have known for more than 40 years that the synthetic pesticide DDT is harmful to bird habitats and a threat to the environment.

when DDT breaks down were higher in the blood of late-onset Alzheimer's disease patients compared to those without the disease.
Rutgers scientists--the first to link a specific chemical compound to Alzheimer's disease--believe that research into how DDT
and DDE may trigger neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's is crucial. I think these results demonstrate that more attention should be focused on potential environmental contributors
Our data may help identify those that are at risk for Alzheimer's disease and could potentially lead to earlier diagnosis and an improved outcome.
In the Rutgers study conducted in coordination with Emory University Alzheimer's disease Research Center and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical school's Alzheimer's disease Center 74 out of the 86 Alzheimer's patients involved
--whose average age was had 74 DDE blood levels almost four times higher than the 79 people in the control group who did not have Alzheimer's disease.
Patients with a version of Apoe gene (Apoe4) which greatly increases the risk of developing Alzheimer's
and high blood levels of DDE exhibited even more severe cognitive impairment than the patients without the risk gene.
and DDE increased the amount of a protein associated with plaques believed to be a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease.
Although the exact cause of Alzheimer's disease--with five million Americans suffering now and millions more expected to fall prey with the graying of the Baby boom Generation--is known not scientists believe that late-onset Alzheimer's may be linked to a combination of genetic environmental and lifestyle factors.
Much of the research into Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases has mostly been centered on finding genetic connections Richardson says.
This study demonstrates that there are additional contributors to Alzheimer's disease that must be examined and that may help identify those at risk of developing Alzheimer's says Richardson.
It is important because when it comes to diagnosing and treating this and other neurodegenerative diseases the earlier someone is diagnosed the more options there may be available.
