Brain Changes Observed In Unimpaired Older Humans Could Be Early Warning Of Alzheimer's
New research has uncovered an early disruption in the process of memory formation in older humans who exhibit some early brain changes associated with Alzheimer"s disease (AD) but show little or no memory impairment. The work, published by Cell Press in the July 30th issue of the journal Neuron, sheds light on the role of amyloid protein in memory impairment and may lead to development of strategies for predicting and treating cognitive decline in individuals who are at-risk for AD.

Researcher Works To Help Mexican Americans With Type 2 Diabetes
Starr County, Texas, sits on the Texas-Mexico border along the banks of the Rio Grande River. Populated largely by Mexican Americans, it is a rural county where some of the residents live in colonias, unincorporated areas with no city services. The county seat, Rio Grande City, is home to approximately 15,000 people. Scratch the surface and Starr County has one surprising distinguishing feature: one of the highest prevalence rates of type 2 diabetes in the entire country, and the highest diabetes death rate in Texas.

Government Of Canada Supports Research To Help Address Medical Isotope Shortage

The Honourable Leona Aglukkaq, Minister of Health, announced recently that the Government of Canada is supporting research to find alternatives to nuclear-produced Technetium-99m, the principal medical isotope affected by the current shutdown at the Chalk River nuclear reactor. Health professionals use medical isotopes in combination with imaging technologies to diagnose and treat conditions such as cancer and heart disease. The initiative announced recently is a partnership between the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). "Our government is taking several measures to address the medical needs of Canadians during this medical isotope shortage," said Minister Aglukkaq. "One course of action we are actively pursuing is funding research that would provide alternatives to the principal medical isotope produced at Chalk River." The Government of Canada is providing $6 million towards this research initiative which will advance research into alternative, non-nuclear, medical isotopes that could replace Technetium-99m in certain medical imaging procedures and support the production and clinical testing of these alternatives. "Canadian health researchers and clinicians are world leaders in the development and use of imaging technologies," said Dr. Alain Beaudet, President of CIHR. "We are pleased to support this effort to find solutions that will address the needs of Canadians." "We are proud to be a partner in this initiative," says Dr. Suzanne Fortier, President of NSERC. "This is a complex, multidisciplinary issue. Involving experts from chemistry, physics, engineering and related fields will help advance discovery and innovation in this critical area."
