Publication Date: May 4th, 2007.
Show Summary:
Researcher and pathologist Dr. Alan MacDonald explores the link between Borrelia burgdorferi infection - neuroborreliosis - and Alzheimer’s disease. Previous STAT coverage of his work: #23, #26 and #65.
On this episode, ‘Reflections on Recent Alzheimer’s News,” Dr. Macdonald mirrors his thoughts about recent news from Clinical Neurology News based on: 1) the neuroborreliosis hypothesis, 2) what he learned during the recent 10th International Conference on Alzheimer’s Disease in Madrid, Spain (Jul, 2006).
Dr. Macdonald will reflect on news about: the genetics and markers of Alzheimer’s disease; new research efforts and related political issues; diagnosis and treatment; the diabetes-Alzheimer’s comorbidity; and the importance of inflammation and oxidation in Alzheimer’s pathogenesis - all from the perspective of the neuroborreliosis paradigm.
Dr. Macdonald’s papers and presentations can be downloaded from www.molecularalzheimer.org. He can be contacted from the website too.
