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 .

Increased Death Rates During Aricept Trials

Monday, February 9th, 2009

When used for people with vascular dementia , Aricept generally improves thinking and the thought processes.?? During one study , the apparent concerns? was that the death rate and rates were scored higher than those not taking the drug.?? It seemed that those patients taking Aricept had a greater chance of dying than those taking the placebo , the inert sugar pills.

With careful statistical analysis it appears that the pattern was not prevalent or repeatable.? What this means that this count of increased chance of death, while taking Aricept, as a treatment for Alzheimer’s Disease was not repeatable or predictable when the study was repeated in a similar manner. The cause of this one report of increased death rates appears to be an anomaly or a one time chance untimely event – a coincidence with no known cause or effect that did nto happen again or any regular basis.
