History of Head Trauma in Alzheimer's Disease

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

It turns out  generally that whether a history of head trauma or injury is a cause of Alzheimer’s disease of the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease is not certain or indeed uncertain by itself.

It can be pointed out that some published studies of repute suggest that head trauma that results in what may or should be considered  a loss of consciousness is a definite risk factor and factors into the risks of a patient developing Alzheimer’s disease.

Thus people who expose themselves to repeated head trauma or injury , such as you might find in the classic cases of boxers such as Muhammed Ali, who developed serious Parkinson’s disease – perhaps as a result of his boxing career, or football players can be said to be , as a result , at a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease as opposed to if they had not followed their chosen career path or paths.  Regardless of whether or not actual Alzheimer’s disease progresses as a result of the specific person’s health and mental and memory cognitive skill levels-  many such people who are continually exposed to head trauma and head trauma injuries  do go later to more often than the general population , have incidences of difficulties of memory , concentration, speech  and other brain function difficulties higher than the general population overall .

Diembon Dimebolin Summary Referenced Information Discovery Magazine Online

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

The second drug, Dimebon, is an allergy drug used in Russia 20 years ago. A Lancet [subscription required] article in July reported that over 26 weeks of treatment, Dimebon significantly improved memory, thinking, and overall functioning in 68 Alzheimer?s patients, compared with a 66-member control group. Although researchers don?t know exactly how Dimebon does this, it may work by protecting mitochondria?the powerhouses of cells?from injury, says Rachelle Doody, the study?s lead author and a neurology professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. A phase 3 trial for the drug began recruiting participants in June.
