Rutgers Study Suggests New Biomarker for Alzheimer’s Induced by DDT Pesticide Exposure










































[Photo: Mr. Héctor Maldonado-Pérez]

A Rutgers School of Public Health study conducted by alumnus, Mr. Héctor Maldonado-Pérez MPH’16, and faculty, found that DDT Pesticide exposure may influence Alzheimer’s Disease onset. There are many subtypes of dementia, but Alzheimer’s Disease continues to be the most common worldwide. The cause of Alzheimer’s Disease is not fully understood, however, genetic markers, such as the APOE4 allele, have been identified as potential biomarkers for the disease. The significance of the APOE4 allele’s presence varies by race. The presence of APOE4 is a better indicator of Alzheimer’s Disease in White individuals than in Hispanic or African American individuals.

A human protein — called CyP40 — can untangle the neurodegenerative clumps that characterize Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, scientists reported Tuesday in the journal PLoS Biology. The findings may guide new therapeutic avenues for these conditions.

Alzheimer's disease study links brain health, physical activity



























People at risk for Alzheimer's disease who do more moderate-intensity physical activity, but not light-intensity physical activity, are more likely to have healthy patterns of glucose metabolism in their brain, according to a new UW-Madison study.

Results of the research were published online in Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. Senior author Dr. Ozioma Okonkwo, assistant professor of medicine, is a researcher at the Wisconsin Alzheimer's Disease Research Center and the Wisconsin Alzheimer's Institute at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health. First author Ryan Dougherty is a graduate student studying under the direction of Dr. Dane B. Cook, professor of kinesiology and a co-author of the study, and Dr. Okonkwo. The research involved 93 members of the Wisconsin Registry for Alzheimer's Prevention (WRAP), which with more than 1,500 registrants is the largest parental history Alzheimer's risk study group in the world.

Extra-virgin olive oil may prevent Alzheimer's





























New research explores the neurological benefits of extra-virgin olive oil and finds that it may help to prevent the onset of Alzheimer's disease.

New research suggests that extra-virgin olive oil - a key component of the Mediterranean diet - may protect the brain from Alzheimer's disease symptoms. 
Mouse experiments revealed changes in both cognitive performance and the appearance of nerve cells.

Alzheimer's disease is estimated to affect approximately 5 million people in the United States. The neurodegenerative disease is progressive and cannot yet be cured or reversed.

Gene variant protecting against Alzheimer's disease decreases plasma beta-amyloid levels































Image Source: MEDICALNEWSTODAY

New research from the University of Eastern Finland shows that the APP gene variant protecting against Alzheimer's disease significantly decreases plasma beta-amyloid levels in a population cohort. This is a very significant discovery, as many on-going drug trials in the field of Alzheimer's disease focus on decreasing beta-amyloid levels in the brain tissue. According to the study, a 30% life-long decrease in beta-amyloid levels is not associated with detrimental effects on lipid or glucose metabolism, or on any other metabolic factors.

Aluminum Should Now Be Considered a Primary Etiological Factor in Alzheimer’s Disease





























By Professor Chris Exley

Abstract: In this paper, I have summarized the experimental and largely clinical evidence that implicates aluminum as a primary etiological factor in Alzheimer’s disease. The unequivocal neurotoxicity of aluminum must mean that when brain burdens of aluminum exceed toxic thresholds that it is inevitable that aluminum contributes toward disease. Aluminum acts as a catalyst for an earlier onset of Alzheimer’s disease in individuals with or without concomitant predispositions, genetic or otherwise. Alzheimer’s disease is not an inevitable consequence of aging in the absence of a brain burden of aluminum.

A new study by researchers at the University of Montana, Universidad del Valle de México, Instituto Nacional de Pediatría, Boise State, and Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, heightens concerns over the detrimental short- and long-term impact of airborne iron-rich strongly magnetic combustion-derived nanoparticles (CDNPs) present in young urbanites’ brains. Using transmission electron microscopy, the researchers documented by abundant combustion nanoparticles in neurons, glial cells, choroid plexus, and neurovascular units of Mexico City children, teens and young adults chronically exposed to concentrations above the US-EPA standards for fine particulate matter.

Bill Passed: Government To Microchip Disabled People Without Consent
























Though the bill only targets those with conditions such as Alzheimers and autism, critics say the bill’s passage will open a “pandora’s box” of invasive government surveillance.

Six years ago, NBC Nightly News boldly predicted that all Americans would be fitted with RFID microchips by the year 2017. Though at the time, NBC’s prediction seemed far-fetched, the House recently passed a bill that would bring a micro-chipped populace closer to reality before year’s end. Last Thursday, the House passed HR 4919, also known as Kevin and Avonte’s Law, which would allow the US attorney general to award grants to law enforcement for the creation and operation of “locative tracking technology programs.” Though the program’s mission is to find “individuals with forms of dementia or children with developmental disabilities who have wandered from safe environments,” it provides no restriction on the tracking programs inclusion of other individuals. The bill would also require the attorney general to work with the secretary of health and human services and unnamed health organizations to establish the “best practices” for the use of tracking devices.

Rising Alzheimer's Death Correlates To Awareness: VIDEO


























The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found in a recent report that the number of deaths credited to Alzheimer's disease has increased by more than half. Experts say the report, which is based on data from death certificates, suggests diagnosis of the disease has improved -- as has treatment of other leading causes of death in the United States. Christopher A. Taylor, an epidemiologist at the CDC, told UPI, "People are becoming more aware of Alzheimer's disease and go to physicians to seek out a diagnosis if they have symptoms." Wichita
