Health News&#8230;<\/h1>\n<h1><span style=\"font-size: 13px;font-weight: normal\">A new study has shown evidence of early brain damage in young people at increased risk for the disease in some cases.<\/span><\/h1>\n<h1><span style=\"font-size: 13px;font-weight: normal\">New findings suggest that changes in myelin, which protects nerve cells, may be a sign of increased risk of developing Alzheimer&#8217;s later in life. Health News..<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>A team of UCLA professors of neurology researched conducted brain scans on 398 young, healthy people between ages 20 to 30. Those participants who carried a specific gene mutation that is known to increase the risk of Alzheimer&#8217;s &#8211; linked to the CLU gene &#8211; had unique characteristics in white matter (the bundles of nerve cells) in multiple brain tissues, including in some areas known to become damaged in Alzheimer&#8217;s disease. The results suggest that alterations in myelin, the main substance that protects nerve cells, may indicate to an increased risk of developing the disease later in life.<\/p>\n<h2>Alzheimer disease stages can be put under control<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;Alzheimer&#8217;s has traditionally been regarded a disease marked by neuronal cell loss and common gray matter atrophy,&#8221; one professor stated. &#8220;However degeneration of myelin in white matter fiber pathways is more and more being considered a key disease component and another possible cause to the disease, and this discovery supports that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>People who have this particular mutation in the CLU gene not always develop Alzheimer&#8217;s disease. Young people who have these changes in white matter are not cognitively impaired. But knowledge about this genetic risk could be used to help prevent the Alzheimer&#8217;s disease in alater life stage.<\/p>\n<h3>Alzheimer still without cure, though progress made in Alzheimer treatment<\/h3>\n<p>Although current Alzheimer disease treatments cannot stop Alzheimer&#8217;s from progressing, they can temporarily slow the worsening of dementia symptoms and increase quality of life for those with Alzheimer&#8217;s and their caregivers. Today, there is a global effort under way to find better ways to treat the Alzheimer disease, delay its initial phase, and prevent it from developing and getting more aggresive.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #f00;\">Error, group does not exist!
