Background: Abnormal glucose metabolism in AD brains correlates with cognitive deficits. The glucose changes are consistent with brain thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency. In animals, thiamine deficiency causes multiple AD-like changes including memory loss, neuron loss, brain inflammation, enhanced phosphorylation of tau, exaggerated plaque formation and elevated advanced glycation end products (AGE).

Background: Diabetic conditions are associated with alterations in brain functions like memory deficits through processes like synaptic dysfunction in the hippocampus. Administering a combination of silver nanonaringenin and vitamin E appears promising since they are known to prevent diabetes and memory deficits in previous studies, and nanoformulation of naringenin may be one way to improve delivery and bioavailability of naringenin in the brain. This study investigated the effects of co-administering silver nanonaringenin and vitamin E against memory deficits and synaptic dysfunction in the hippocampus of a mice model of high-fat diet and streptozotocin (HS).

Background: Lipids are key modulators in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Dysregulation of lipid homeostasis may disrupt the blood brain barrier, alter myelination, disturb cellular signaling and cause abnormal processing of the amyloid precursor protein. The purpose of this scoping review was to evaluate fatty acid supplementation in patients with AD.

Objective: Elevated systolic blood pressure and increased pulse pressure are closely associated with renal damage; however, the exact mechanism remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the effects of increased pulse pressure on tubulointerstitial fibrosis and renal damage in elderly rats with isolated systolic hypertension (ISH). Additionally, the role of renal tubular epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and its upstream signalling pathways were elucidated.

Background: Confabulation, the fabrication of details with short lucid intervals, hinders the diagnosis of Alzheimer's and other dementias. This case report explores the complexities of diagnosing and managing Alzheimer's dementia in a culturally diverse patient exhibiting fluctuating memory and confabulation, emphasizing challenges heightened by cultural and linguistic factors.
Case: An 84-year-old African descent man resided with his family in the United States, independent in his basic daily activities but struggling with instrumental tasks due to memory impairment.
