Alzheimer's disease: rapid and slow progression.
The variability in the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) across patients has made identification of disease-delaying treatments difficult. Quantitative analysis of this variability has important implications in understanding the pathophysiology of AD and identifying disease-delaying treatments. The functional assessment staging (FAST) procedure characterizes seven stages in the course of ...
متن کاملIntrathecal corticosteroids might slow Alzheimer’s disease progression
Anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment and prevention of Alzheimer's disease have to date proved disappointing, including a large study of low-dose prednisone, but higher dose steroids significantly reduced amyloid secretion in a small series of nondemented patients. In addition, there is a case report of a patient with amyloid angiopathy who had complete remission from two doses of dexamethason...
متن کاملMagnesium and Alzheimers Disease: The Cholinergic Hypothesis
The cholinergic deficit in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains the cornerstone for the understanding of chemical signal transfer. Hypofunctions of cholinergic systems are significantly involved in the signs and symptoms of senile dementia of the Alzheimer type. Cognitive deficits in AD have been widely associated with dysfunction of the cholinergic system. As a diagnostic marker of AD the activity...
متن کاملSerum Metabolomics of Slow vs. Rapid Motor Progression Parkinson’s Disease: a Pilot Study
Progression of Parkinson's disease (PD) is highly variable, indicating that differences between slow and rapid progression forms could provide valuable information for improved early detection and management. Unfortunately, this represents a complex problem due to the heterogeneous nature of humans in regards to demographic characteristics, genetics, diet, environmental exposures and health beh...
متن کاملRab11 in Disease Progression
Membrane/ protein trafficking in the secretory/ biosynthetic and endocytic pathways is mediated by vesicles. Vesicle trafficking in eukaryotes is regulated by a class of small monomeric GTPases the Rab protein family. Rab proteins represent the largest branch of the Ras superfamily GTPases, and have been concerned in a variety of intracellular vesicle trafficking and different intracellular sig...
