19 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Previous reports have shown that higher education is associated with more severe brain pathology in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD), suggesting that these individuals have a functional reserve provided by education, which masks the ... Read more...

High-dose B vitamin supplementation and cognitive decline in Alzheimer disease: a randomized controlled trial.

11 Oct 2008 CONTEXT: Blood levels of homocysteine may be increased in Alzheimer disease (AD) and hyperhomocysteinemia may contribute to disease pathophysiology by vascular and direct neurotoxic mechanisms. Even in the absence of vitamin deficiency, ... Read more...

Subjective cognitive failures and hippocampal volume in elderly with white matter lesions.

5 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Subjective cognitive failures (SCF) and subjective memory failures (SMF) have been reported to be an early predictor of Alzheimer disease (AD) and have been attributed to white matter lesions (WML). Since AD is characterized by ... Read more...
