Alzheimer's advances show need for better drugs

By Hurley, McKenna & Mertz

ADVERTISEMENTS

As a Chicago personal injury lawyer with experience in nursing home cases, I am hopeful that we continue to be able to prevent and treat Alzheimer?s disease. Scientists are reporting ?advances in detecting and predicting Alzheimer's disease? including ?better brain scans to spot the signs of the mind-robbing illness, and more genes that affect risk.? (M. Marchione, AP Medical, 7/12).

Some studies suggest that maintaining appropriate exercise levels and exposure to vitamin D may lower your chances of developing Alzheimer's. For example, one study shows that people who get intense or moderately intense exercise are half as likely to suffer from dementia as less active people are.

However, researchers are cautiously optimistic for a drug to slow or stop the disease, as current drugs only treat symptoms.
