a study in the latest issue of Neurology reports that scientists have had some success with the COGNIShunt implant, which drains cerebrospinal fluid continuously from around the brain into the abdominal area. this fluid is recirculated much less frequently in alzheimer's patients than in a healthy person, and researchers have theorized that this limited CSF turnover may contribute to the buildup of plaques and neurofibrillary tangles.
alzheimer's is the cause of half of all dementia in older people. 20% of those over 80 will suffer from alzheimer's, 30% of those who live to the age of 90 will. as the aged population in the u.s. becomes larger than ever, it is likely that we will see more victims of this disease than ever before. as the research focus falls more toward treating the diseases of old age, it is exciting to imagine that not too far into the future we will find ways to prevent, treat, and even cure dementia.
i first read about the Neurology article in the USA Today on Wednesday, 23 Oct.
