Remote ischemic conditioning to mitigate neurodegeneration in Alzheimer Disease

We need new ways to treat Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). People with AD are keen to try non-drug therapies but none are approved for treating AD. Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is a non-drug therapy that involves inflating and deflating blood pressure cuffs repeatedly in the arm or leg.

The small intestinal environment and Alzheimer’s Disease: a new frontier in the gut-brain axis

There is a lot of talk about the gut microbiome in neurology. This is important, because people with neurological diseases, including Alzheimer´s disease (AD), change their diets and think about probiotics when finding out about their diagnosis. Researchers study the gut microbiome by analyzing stool samples and then seeing if it is different in AD compared to healthy people. However, there is a major flaw in this research.

Development and testing of a system for remote ischemic conditioning in preparation for clinical trials in cerebral small vessel disease and pre-hospital stroke care

One in four strokes are caused by a condition called cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). There are no approved treatments for CSVD.
