Cognoscopy combines laboratory examinations and cognitive tests for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease. With these examinations, you can proactively minimize your risk factors and maintain your quality of life into old age.
Studies show a link between chronic stress and the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. A breathing technique could help reduce this risk by reducing stress and inducing changes in the brain that are associated with biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease.
At regular intervals, we would like to draw your attention to current articles from the Internet that are closely related to our core topic of lifestyle-oriented and self-responsible prevention and treatment of dementia and their relevance. The opinions expressed in the above articles are intended to serve as a stimulus for critical debate. They do not necessarily correspond to the positions we represent, but in all cases they enrich the basis for discussion. At the end of each press article we refer to our scientifically based KsD articles - please take a look for yourself!
A new animal model sheds light on the dark mystery of Alzeheim disease. A molecule called MEG 3 is capable of causing human brain cells to die, making it a potential risk factor for Alzeheimer's disease.
An Australian study found that antibody drugs for Alzheimer's, such as aducanumab and lecanemab, can reduce brain volumes. Despite successful reduction of Alzheimer's-specific amyloid-beta deposits, the benefit of these drugs remains questionable. They slow cognitive decline only slightly and have severe side effects. The study also suggests that these drugs promote the cardinal structural symptom of Alzheimer's disease, brain atrophy. Thus, they increase the risk of brain tissue loss, a direct cause of cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease.
At regular time intervals, we would like to draw your attention to current reports on the Internet that are closely related to our core topic of lifestyle-oriented and self-responsible prevention and treatment of dementia and its relevance. The opinions expressed there should stimulate a critical exchange of views. They do not necessarily reflect the positions we hold, but in all cases they enrich the basis for discussion. t the end of each press article, we refer to our scientifically based KsD articles - please make up your own mind!
The fact that fructose hardly raises blood glucose levels due to its low glycemic index and is largely metabolized independently of insulin has led to the assumption in the past that it has a beneficial effect on health. New studies prove that fructose is less beneficial than previously thought.
Recently, we reported on "Knowledge stops dementia" about (ultra)processed food, also known as fast food, and the associated risk to [...]
A rolling stone gathers no moss. This simple saying also hits the nail on the head when it comes to dementia prevention. This is now also confirmed by a large number of scientific studies. New findings show that there is far more leeway in the recommendations for daily exercise routines than previously assumed.
Since 2022 the team of the project "Knowledge stops Dementia" started to refer on a regular base to current contributions from the world wide web which have a close relation to our core topic, the early detection of individual risk factors and thus the lifestyle-oriented and self-responsible prevention and treatment of dementia-related diseases. The opinions expressed in the following articles should serve as a stimulus for critical discussion. They do not necessarily correspond to the positions we hold, but in all cases, they enrich the basis for discussion. Occasionally, we also refer to current freely available studies at the end – please make up your own mind!
