Excerpt

In their recent review about the morbid anatomy of dementia, Kalaitzakis and Pearce [24] critically discussed the impact of both cortical α-synuclein (αSyn) and Alzheimer disease (AD) pathologies and the molecular interactions between αSyn, tau, and Aβ proteins in the development of cognitive impairment in Parkinson disease (PD), suggesting a linked pathological cascade of AD- and PD-related mechanisms. This commentary is intended (1) to confirm most of the statements of this review and (2) to add some personal and further recent data about the very complex relations between cognitive impairment and neuropathology in Lewy body diseases. …

Niedriger diastolischer Blutdruck erhöht Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Frühe Alzheimertherapie lohnt sich

Ist die Tau-Last noch gering, scheint der Vorteil von Lecanemab besonders groß zu sein. Und beginnen Erkrankte verzögert mit der Behandlung, erreichen sie nicht mehr die kognitive Leistung wie bei einem früheren Start. Darauf deuten neue Analysen der Phase-3-Studie Clarity AD.

Viel Bewegung in der Parkinsonforschung

25.04.2024 Parkinson-Krankheit Nachrichten

Neue arznei- und zellbasierte Ansätze, Frühdiagnose mit Bewegungssensoren, Rückenmarkstimulation gegen Gehblockaden – in der Parkinsonforschung tut sich einiges. Auf dem Deutschen Parkinsonkongress ging es auch viel um technische Innovationen.
