Do Benzodiazepines Cause Alzheimer’s Disease?

Does Fungal Infection Cause Alzheimers?

How do mutations cause disease?

The identification to date of most of the mutations responsible for monogenic disorders with familial inheritance has opened schematically two broad fields for cardiovascular research in the next decade or two: that of how a given mutation with a strong deleterious effect cause a disease, and that of how a number of genes, each with a weak implication in the disease phenotype, combine their eff...

Magnesium 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...

Benzodiazepines and Alzheimer disease.

Jill: A handful of past studies have suggested a link between dementia and benzodiazepine use. Because it is not possible to do randomized controlled trials to evaluate this, researchers are working to answer this important public health question by accumulating evidence in many different populations and settings to assess whether the relationship is causative or merely an association with othe...
