Auszug

The collection of brain and related tissue has a long history [1]. In terms of dementia, a more systematic examination of the relationship between brain pathology and clinical symptoms can be traced to Alois Alzheimer’s group in Munich in the early 1900s [2]. The use of human brain tissue is essential to increase our understanding of dementia as it gives us the gold standard of disease pathogenesis and clues as to the molecular mechanisms that underpin the various diseases and conditions. From such human studies, experimental models can be interrogated against this standard and new treatment strategies can be discovered for these socially and economically devastating conditions. …

Ehe schützt nicht vor Demenz

  • 25.04.2025
  • Demenz
  • Nachrichten

Eigentlich leben Verheiratete länger und gesünder. Eine aktuelle Untersuchung kommt jedoch zu dem überraschenden Schluss, dass sie eher an Demenz erkranken als nie Verheiratete, Geschiedene oder Verwitwete.

Lohnt sich die Karotis-Revaskularisation?

Die medikamentöse Therapie für Menschen mit Karotisstenosen hat sich in den vergangenen Dekaden verbessert. Braucht es also noch einen invasiven Eingriff zur Revaskularisation der Halsschlagader bei geringem bis moderatem Risiko für einen ipsilateralen Schlaganfall?

Neuartige Antikörpertherapie bremst MS über zwei Jahre hinweg

Eine Therapie mit dem C40-Ligand-Blocker Frexalimab kann MS-Schübe und neue MRT-Läsionen über zwei Jahre hinweg verhindern. Dafür spricht die Auswertung einer offen fortgeführten Phase-2-Studie.

Therapiestopp bei älteren MS-Kranken kann sich lohnen

Eine Analyse aus Kanada bestätigt: Setzen ältere MS-Kranke die Behandlung mit Basistherapeutika ab, müssen sie kaum mit neuen Schüben und MRT-Auffälligkeiten rechnen.
