U.S. health officials have approved a new Alzheimer’s drug that can modestly slow the disease.

For the first time, researchers have identified a genetic form of late-in-life Alzheimer's disease.

A study of older adults in China offers a closer look at the dominolike sequence of brain changes that lead to Alzheimer's.

Stacker identified the areas in Florida with the highest prevalence of Alzheimer's disease, using data released by the Alzheimer's Association.

Scientists have found a way to help Alzheimer's drugs seep inside the brain faster — using sound waves to jiggle a temporary opening in its protective shield.

New research shows another experimental Alzheimer's drug can modestly slow patients' inevitable worsening.

Thousands were in attendance to support Broward County's Walk to End Alzheimer's on Saturday.

James Galvin, M.D., the Founding Director of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine's Comprehensive Center for Brain Health, describes how projects like the Healthy Brain Initiative is helping to understand the risks of diseases like Alzheimer's and how to improve our brain health. Geraldine and Alan are both study participants.

More than 3,000 participants came out on Saturday morning for the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s at Florida International University.

For the estimated six and a half million Americans living with Alzheimer’s, any advancement in treatment brings a ray of hope.

Research presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference followed more than 10,000 people over nine years and found people who consumed the highest amount of ultra-processed foods, like potato chips, white bread, and soda, had a 28 percent faster cognitive decline.

New findings from an ongoing study suggest that some arthritis drugs may reduce Alzheimer's and dementia related risk in some patients.

A pre-clinical trial is searching for participants for a study that utilizes a blood test which can detect a biomarker for Alzheimer's.

The head of a Senate panel that oversees Medicare says the Biden administration should cut back a hefty premium increase soon to hit millions of enrollees.

Dr. James Galvin, the Director of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine’s Comprehensive Center for Brain Health, describes how the new center’s goal is to better treat and prevent degenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer’s and Lewy Body Dementia through research studies and seeing patients. Bobbi Rutt is one of those patients.

The Miami-Dade Walk to End Alzheimer's was held at Tropical Park on Saturday morning.

For the first time in nearly two decades the Food and Drug Administration this week gave the green light to a promising treatment for Alzheimer’s disease.

MIAMI – Clinical trials are underway, aimed at gaining a greater understanding of how the coronavirus impacts people with Alzheimer’s or dementia, and it may even be a catalyst to memory loss. Dr. James Galvin with the University of Miami Miller School Of Medicine and the Alzheimer’s Association of Southeast Florida explained how the virus affects the brain. Also in today’s health news, a recent study found that ginger might help treat people with lupus and those at risk of developing dangerous blood clots. Researchers in Michigan found that the anti-inflammatory activity of compounds in ginger can affect autoantibodies related to lupus and other chronic conditions. The next stage of clinical research will involve human trials to see how many participants could benefit from supplementation with ginger, and to what extent.

MIAMI – The number of Americans living with Alzheimer’s is growing, and along with efforts to develop effective treatments for the disease, researchers are looking into ways to more easily diagnose it at an early stage. Since 2015, Dr. Delia Cabrera DeBuc with the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute has been working to develop an eye test that could identify biomarkers that are indicative of Alzheimer’s. DeBuc’s research isn’t just about science, it’s also personal; a year ago she tested positive for the late on-set Alzheimer’s gene. The study, published in the journal Science found that even people who did not have COVID-19 had antibodies against the virus in some of the samples tested. Researchers theorize that exposure to any of the common human coronaviruses, including the common cold, may lead to some level of immunity against COVID-19.

MIAMI – The Miami Police Department is searching for a man who went missing Sunday morning. Police are searching for 64-year-old Eduardo Abreu, who went missing from 2700 Northwest 25th Street. Abreu suffers from Alzheimer’s and dementia, police said. Anyone with any information on his whereabouts is asked to call 305-603-6300 or 305-579-6111.
