Re: Waving hi!
... I took myself off of being on call 24 hours a day, a few months ago so I could get some attempt at a regular sleep schedule. After 27 years of that, I figured I have done my best for my patients. Knowing the 4/4 was a major expediting factor to get my feet deformities surgically fixed (had been...

Mediterranean Diet reduces rate of amyloid accumulation in ApoE 4
This may seem like old news ("Mediterranean diet is helpful"), but the details suggest something more important. Our Aussie friends published an extremely well-documented study on Oct 30, 2018 of the results of 3 successive PET scans over a 36-month period in a subset of an existing long-t...

Re: Elayta and the SHINE trials
Anybody following this one? Different than BACE inhibitors. We're all working on prevention, but there are so many of our family and friends who are already diagnosed, so any progress on the treatment front would be soooo welcome. https://globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/11/08/1647974/0/en/Cogni...

Re: Polygenic info used to identify risk of AD
If I’m not mistaken the amyloid precursor protein (APP) is also deterministic for early onset AD? I think there’s some variance among researchers as to what age is used to indicate early onset. I think you might be thinking of Presenilin, which is a gene linked to risk of early AD. APP is something...

Re: Polygenic info used to identify risk of AD
Hi my name is Lynn. I am 53...I have an AZ50 of 86. The risk goes up almost 10 percent each year until by the age of 90, it just says <95. The one thing that was a bit confusing to me was the instantaneous risk. If you look at age 95 it shows 26%. That seems a bit irrelevant if it is next to certai...

Re: apoe4 linked to eye disease?

And my results for the Amyloid PET scan, which the Gen 2 Study gives you an initial result only on, was Not Elevated. I should be careful on this site not to give out too much info about by case, bit I think this...

Re: apoe4 linked to eye disease?
I have the same genetic combination. Im taking Areds 2 and I feel like my proper nouns are coming to me a little quicker since. But I can't prove that. I'm 63. Any chance that the proper nouns coming quicker has been since you started on the Generations 2 trial ? If you are on CNP520, as about 68% ...
