Dementia's youngest victims defy stereotypes - seattlepi.com
seattlepi.com — “About 200,000 Americans under 65 are among the 5.4 million Americans suffering from Alzheimer's disease, according to the Alzheimer's Association. Experts' estimates suggest there's a similar number of younger people with other types of dementia, meaning about a half-million Americans, some as young as their 30s, suffer from early-onset or younger-onset dementia. The number of people suffering from all types of dementia is rapidly increasing because of the aging of the baby boom generation — the” View full resource at seattlepi.com

Computer program could help dementia patients manage their disease
news-medical.net — “Researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College have developed a computer program that has tracked the manner in which different forms of dementia spread within a human brain. They say their mathematic model can be used to predict where and approximately when an individual patient's brain will suffer from the spread, neuron to neuron, of "prion-like" toxic proteins -- a process they say underlies all forms of dementia.” View full resource at news-medical.net
