Study lists four clusters of symptoms that may advance to Alzheimer`s disease

A study has identified four distinct clusters of symptoms, including psychiatric and cardiovascular, that can progressively lead to Alzheimer`s disease -- an ageing-related condition in which memory and speech steadily declines, eventually disrupting daily activities. Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles, US, said the study offers new insights into how the disorder can develop over time rather than from isolated risk factors. "We found that multi-step trajectories can indicate greater risk factors for Alzheimer`s disease than single conditions," first author Mingzhou Fu, a medical informatics pre-doctoral student at the University of California, said. "Understanding these pathways could fundamentally change how we approach early detection and prevention," Fu said. ...

But with the abrupt suspension of the program — only three days after the government suggested it would be paused when the funds were exhausted — hundreds of dealerships were forced to swallow the cost of any rebate claims they hadn’t yet submitted.“It was a shocking series of events in January when they shut down the program after...

There are "deals" on countless products, but unless you do a ton of research, it's hard to figure out whether a sale price represents much of a deal at all. For some people, doing that research can be the "fun" part, replicating the experience of diggin...
