One key problem with treating people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the fact that it is often very difficult to detect the disease when it is in the early stages of progression. A team of researchers from the University of the West of England are about to embark on a preliminary study to investigate the efficacy of combining biomarkers in blood with cognitive testing as a way of screening for AD early on so that appropriate treatments can be offered to patients sooner.
The team brings together experts in biomedicine and psychology who will see if they can set about devising tests that marry biomarkers with cognitive performance tests. Dr Kinsey explains, "Current methods of diagnosing AD measure cognitive decrements that occur late in the disease when treatment options are limited. Some methods have improved but tend to be either costly or risky to health. For example the invasiveness of taking cerebral spinal fluid to test for AD is not without safety implications and is also a really expensive test." Read more: medilexicon.com
