Several studies have assessed risk factors associated with the severity of COVID-19 outcomes in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). The potential role of disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) and demographic and clinical factors on the risk of acquiring SARS-CoV-2 infection has not been evaluated so far. The objective of a new study (DOI:...
Over the past couple decades, researchers have identified numerous genes involved in various immune system functions that may also contribute to Alzheimer's.
Cancer and Alzheimer's disease are common diseases in aging populations. Prior research has reported a lower incidence of Alzheimer's disease-type (amnestic) dementia among individuals with a diagnosis of cancer. Both cancer and amnestic dementia are prevalent and potentially lethal clinical syndromes. The current study (Brain, awac035,...
In high-pollution areas, physical activity may have a paradoxical effect on brain health by increasing particulate deposition in the lungs. We examined whether physical activity modifies associations of air pollution (AP) with brain volumes in an epidemiologic framework.
This study aimed to investigate the association between dietary prebiotic intake and risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD) (Curr Alzheimer Res. 2021 Dec 21).
Too much and too little coffee is tied to an increased risk of a specific seizure type in patients with epilepsy, new research shows (Epilepsy Behav. Published online December 17, 2021).
Just 1 to 2 hours of moderate-to-vigorous exercise twice a week appears to slow disease progression and cognitive decline in patients with early Parkinson's disease (PD), new research shows.
Post-traumatic amnesia (PTA) and chronic vascular lesions caused by traumatic brain injury (TBI) is tied to an increased risk of subsequent Alzheimer's disease (AD) (Alzheimer Disease & Associated Disorders).
Finding the correct nutritional intervention is one of the biggest challenges in treating patients with neurodegenerative diseases. In general, these patients develop strong metabolic alterations, resulting in lower treatment efficacy and higher mortality rates. However, there are still many open questions regarding the effectiveness of dietary...
Enzyme-inducing antiseizure medications (eiASMs) have been hypothesized to be associated with long-term risks of cardiovascular disease.
