Stop undertreating Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer's disease has gained a reputation as a disorder we can't do anything about.As someone who has made this disease my life's work, I want to tell you that's wrong.I'm not alone.At this week's Alzheimer's Association International Conference in Toronto, I and several fellow physicians and experts in the field are calling for an end to the underdiagnosis and undertreatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Researchers sceptical about Alzheimer's drug that 'slows disease by 80 per cent'
Researchers sceptical about Alzheimer's drug that 'slows disease by 80 per cent'
A new drug could slow the progress of Alzheimer's disease by as much as 80 per cent, a study has suggested.However, other researchers have expressed scepticism.The drug, called LMTX, is the first to target 'tau tangles' — clumps of proteins that accumulate and spread in the brains of people with Alzheimer's.Most previous drugs have targeted beta-amyloid, a different protein whose accumulation is also a marker of the disease.

Existing drugs for dementia simply address the symptoms of the diseaseThe drug targets 'tangles' of proteins that destroy nerve cells in the brainLMTX slows the rate at which the brain shrinks in dementia patientsA breakthrough drug could slow the progress of Alzheimer's disease, experts claim.Scientists say they have been able to significantly slow the rate of mental decline in patients who took the twice-daily pill.The drug, called LMTX, even slows the rate at which the brain shrinks in dementia patients, according to results presented at the world's largest Alzheimer's conference.In some cases, patients have shown extraordinary recoveries, the researchers said.
