An under-utilized tool could help correctly diagnose and manage dementia, leading to better care, according to the 2019 IDEAS study. Published in the Journal…
Tracking changes in a certain protein found through a simple blood test could detect Alzheimer’s up to a decade before other symptoms like memory…
Most neurologists dread telling patients they have Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. I am no exception. But 16 years ago, I discovered…
An early diagnosis can make all the difference for patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Can the rapidly advancing technology of artificial intelligence (AI) catch what…
