Fish intake may prevent cerebrovascular disease (CVD), yet the mechanisms are unclear, especially regarding its impact on subclinical damage. Assuming that fish may have pleiotropic effect on cerebrovascular health, the authors investigated the association of fish intake with global CVD burden based on brain MRI markers...

DMF in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease
Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) has been approved for clinical treatment of multiple sclerosis based on its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects by activating the Nrf2 pathway. Since both oxidative stress and inflammation are involved in Alzheimer's disease (AD), DMF is a potential therapeutic option for AD.
Contraceptives and multiple sclerosis risk
The authors investigated whether oral contraceptive (OC) use is associated with the risk of a second attack and disability accrual in women with a clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) and early multiple sclerosis (MS) (Mult Scler. 2021 Nov 29).
Multivitamin good for dementia
Taking a daily multivitamin for 3 years is associated with a 60% slowing of cognitive aging, with the effects especially pronounced in patients with cardiovascular (CVD) disease, new research suggests.
Drinking coffee or tea is associated with reduced risk for stroke and dementia, with the biggest benefit associated with consuming both beverages, new research suggests.
Erenumab vs topiramate in migraine
Erenumab, a calcitonin-gene related peptide receptor (CGRP) inhibitor, is more tolerable and effective than topiramate for treating patients with migraine, according to data from almost 800 patients in the first head-to-head trial of its kind.
A higher polygenic risk (PGR) score may predict late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD), new research shows.
Salty Foods Disrupt Sleep
If eating certain things ― like pizza or French fries ― makes it impossible to sleep at night, it might be because the hefty dose of salt in these foods is disrupting your sleep rhythms.
Tobacco and Multiple Sclerosis
The negative impact of smoking on MS is well established, however, there is much less evidence on whether smoking cessation is beneficial for progression in MS.
Milk intake has been associated with risk of neurodegenerative diseases in observational studies. Nevertheless, whether the association is causal remains unknown. In a new study published in Nutrients the authors adopted Mendelian randomization design to evaluate the potential causal association between milk intake and common neurodegenerative...
