Current evidence does not indicate that diuretic-induced hypokalaemia is associated with increased ventricular arrhythmias. This evidence includes continuous electrocardiographic monitoring--which is the most sensitive technique for quantitating cardiac arrhythmias. In contrast to earlier...

Drugs for Alzheimer's disease: are they effective?

OVERVIEW AD is a neurodegenerative process marked by neuronal loss and the deposition of abnormal proteins in the form of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles.
