New drug may help fight against Alzheimer's disease

Wednesday, 30 July 2008

British researchers are hailing a new drug as a major development in the fight against Alzheimer's disease.

A study has found that the drug, Rember, can slow progression of the disease by as much as 81%.

Patients taking it for 50 weeks were found to have a slower decline in blood flow to parts of the brain that are important for memory.

Those behind the study are hoping the drug may be available by 2012.

• Gritty, moving and heroic...Billy plays captured life here

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ... Sunday's 30th anniversary screening of the seminal Too Late to Talk to Billy was riveting viewing. But it wasn't nostalgic viewing.

• Parties need better defence in Stormont's game of two halves

Surprise, surprise. Peter Robinson has been to his first gaelic match, Martin McGuinness is heading for Windsor Park and the Ulster Unionists have scored another own goal.

• Why trying to go on a diet is never really a piece of cake

Some people make New Year’s resolutions, I make lists. Every new year I determine to keep track of everything I spend and everything I eat and drink.

• Scary movie? Their jaws were sore from laughing

Teenage boys love horror films and I have two who are in charge of the remote control in our house, so naturally there’s gore-a-plenty on the box most weekends. However, until recently one film was banned.
