Is a Cure for Alzheimer’s on the Horizon?

CASE WESTERN RESERVE RESEARCH SHOWS PROMISE

A new study found that Alzheimer’s type dementia can be reversed in animals to achieve full neurological recovery – not just prevented or slowed. Historically, Alzheimer's disease has been considered to be irreversible. For decades, scientific research has been focused primarily on preventing or slowing the disease’s progression. Scientists at Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland VA recently discovered a lack of NAD+ (a key cellular energy molecule) drives the disease. And this cellular energy molecule declines naturally with age. The Case Western team discovered that NAD+ levels drop even more dramatically in Alzheimer's patients' brains. By using a compound called P7C3-A20, researchers were able to stabilize NAD+ levels in two different mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. Restoring normal NAD+ levels blocked Alzheimer's from starting and boosting NAD+ during advanced stages actually reversed brain damage. Animal models fully recovered their normal memory and thinking skills. Restoring brain energy balance now offers a potential path to full recovery. Researchers are now moving toward testing these therapies in human clinical trials.

Coffee and Dementia

CAFFEINE MAY LOWER YOUR RISK

A compelling study published earlier this year looked at whether there may be an association between caffeine intake – and the risk of dementia. In this prospective cohort study conducted at Harvard, 131,821 individuals from two cohorts were followed – with up to 43 years of follow-up. 11,033 dementia cases were identified and higher caffeinated coffee intake was significantly associated with lower risk of dementia. Interestingly, decaffeinated coffee didn't seem to have a protective effect. The study found that greater consumption of caffeine, whether coffee or tea, was associated with lower risk of dementia and modestly better cognitive function.

It Cost Them Everything: Remembering the Fallen on Memorial Day

The death toll of the Civil War was so high, it's difficult for us to imagine today. More than 2% of the U.S. population perished in just four years of conflict.1

By comparison to today's population, that would be like losing nearly 7 million soldiers. And that doesn't include those who were maimed or suffered deep psychological damage. It was a bitter war that left no family untouched.

Immediately after the Civil War ended, people, particularly women, would go and lay flowers on the graves of the dead. One of the most notable of these occasions was in 1865 when a large procession was held in Charleston, SC, to commemorate the lives of Union soldiers who had died in a makeshift prisoner of war camp at the local racecourse. Thousands of black Americans, many of whom had been enslaved months earlier, decorated the mass grave with baskets of flowers, wreaths, and crosses.2

In 1868 these spontaneous, local events led to the creation of a national day of commemoration to be observed each year on May 30. It was called "Decoration Day."

According to the New York Times, as the day evolved to honor all troops who had fallen while serving their country, Americans began referring to the observance as "Memorial Day." An NYT article from May 31, 1870 noted that, aside from Independence Day, there was "no day that calls out the patriotic feelings of our people more than 'Memorial Day.'"

But it wasn't until almost a hundred years later that Congress finally renamed the day Memorial Day. A few years after that it was moved from May 30 to the last Monday of the month to make a long weekend and give people the opportunity to gather.

If you sometimes get the purpose of Memorial Day mixed up with that of Veterans Day (November 11), you're not alone. Many people think that both days are for honoring those who served in the military. But if you just think back to the origins of Memorial Day, laying flowers on graves, it's easier to remember that it's specifically to remember those who have fallen in war.

This Memorial Day we hope you have the chance to get together with family and friends and maybe fire up the barbecue. As you enjoy this unofficial "first day of summer," take a moment to pause and remember those who gave their last full measure of devotion while serving our country.
