Background: Apolipoprotein ε4 allele (APOE4) is the strongest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) with females having higher risk than males. Compared with non-carriers, cognitively normal, middle-aged APOE4 carriers have lower cerebral blood flow (CBF) decades before clinical symptoms appear. Early intervention to protect CBF would be critical for APOE4 carriers to mitigate AD progression.

Compared with non-carriers, cognitively normal APOE4 individuals have shown brain atrophy and lower cerebral blood flow (CBF) decades before AD pathological and clinical symptoms appear. The goal of the study is to determine if using Sirolimus, an FDA-approved mTOR inhibitor, could restore the brain volumes in structures related to cognitive functions and global CBF (gCBF) for asymptomatic APOE4 carriers compared with non-carriers.

Introduction: Alveolar echinococcosis is one of the most pathogenic zoonoses caused by the larval forms of . It is endemic in central Europe, but from 2001 to 2018, eight European countries reported their first cases of alveolar echinococcosis. These numbers testify to unprecedented spread of the infection.
