Study says, eye conditions could be predictors of Alzheimer's Disease

By -
Mental confusion, sleeplessness and mood swings have all been linked to Alzheimer’s disease, but the health of your eyes could also be a predictor, according to a new report.

Researchers from the University of Washington School of Medicine recently conducted a study, published in the journal Alzheimer’s &Dementia, to explore eye conditions that may be associated with the brain illness.

To do so, they examined 3,877 adults aged 65 and older who were a part of the Adult Changes in Thought database. During the five-year trial, which began in 1994, about 800 of the subjects were diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. 

 “This study solidifies that there are mechanistic things we can learn from the brain by looking at the eye.”

A better understanding of neurodegeneration in the eye and the brain could help diagnose Alzheimer’s early, but they said the connections need to be investigated more. 

The main message from this study is that ophthalmologists should be more aware of the risks of developing dementia for people with these eye conditions and primary care doctors seeing patients with these eye conditions might be more careful on checking on possible dementia or memory loss.

There is mounting evidence that herpes leads to Alzheimers Disease

More than 30 million people worldwide suffer from Alzheimer’s disease – the most common form of dementia. Unfortunately, there is no cure, only drugs to ease the symptoms. However, my own research suggests a way to treat the disease. I have found the strongest evidence yet that the herpes virus is a cause of Alzheimer’s, suggesting that effective and safe antiviral drugs might be able to treat the disease. We might even be able to vaccinate our children against it. The virus implicated in Alzheimer’s disease , herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1), is better known for causing cold sores. It infects most people in infancy and then remains dormant in the peripheral nervous system (the part of the nervous system that isn’t the brain and the spinal cord). Occasionally, if a person is stressed, the virus becomes activated and, in some people, it causes cold sores. The virus can become active in the brain, perhaps repeatedly, and this probably causes cumulative damage. The likel

# Alzheimer’s Disease is a progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions. # Brain cell connections and the cells themselves degenerate and die, eventually destroying memory and other important # mental functions. Memory loss and confusion are the main symptoms. No cure exists, but #medication and management strategies may temporarily improve symptoms. Although there’s no # cure , there are things you can do to help prevent, delay, or slow down Alzheimer’s disease and # dementia . Exercising regularly Getting a good night’s sleep Being MIND-ful about your diet Stress management Socializing Learning new things Lowering high blood pressure and cholesterol Losing weight Brushing and flossing Playing brain games Taking nutritional supplements Protecting your noggin Keeping your gut microbiome healthy Taking medications All of the above Know more at: https://alzheimers-dementia.pulsusconferenc
