Download or read book Does Non steroidal Anti inflammatory Drug NSAID Use Affect Dementia Progression and Survival Rates in Alzheimer s Disease written by Trevor R. Buckley and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alzheimer's disease (AD) has multiple factors that contribute to the disease process. Among these is a state of chronic inflammation that is endured by the brain during the aging process. The use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) decreases the amount of neuroinflammation sustained by the brain, and greater levels of NSAID use have been demonstrated to be associated with decreased probability of developing AD. This study looked at whether greater rates of NSAID use were also associated with decreased rates of cognitive and functional decline and survival in a population-based sample of persons with AD. Linear mixed models failed to find any association between NSAID use, duration of use, or timing of use (before or after AD onset) and cognitive and functional outcomes. Cox regression models did not find any association between any NSAID use, NSAID use before or after AD onset, or duration of NSAID use and participant survival. The conclusion of this project is that NSAIDs do not affect AD progression or survival rates of persons with AD. These results are discussed within the scope of the current literature.

Download or read book Trends in COX 2 Inhibitor Research written by Maynard J. Howardell and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cox-2 Inhibitors are newly developed drugs for inflammation that selectively block the Cox-2 enzyme. Blocking this enzyme impedes the production of the chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that cause the pain and swelling of arthritis inflammation. Cox-2 inhibitors are a new class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). Because they selectively block the Cox-2 enzyme and not the Cox-1 enzyme, these drugs are uniquely different from traditional NSAIDS. This book explores new research in the field.
Download or read book Neuroinflammatory Mechanisms in Alzheimer s Disease written by Joseph Rogers and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2013-03-11 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research into inflammatory mechanisms that may cause damage to the Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain has now been ongoing for nearly two decades. Some two dozen clinical studies have strongly suggested that conventional anti-inflammatory drugs may be useful to delay the onset or slow the progression of the disorder. Moreover, virtually all the major systems of the innate immune response appear to be present, and most are upregulated, in pathologically-vulnerable regions of the AD brain. These new findings are described in this volume - first in overview form, followed by chapters on topics of special interest. In many ways, to understand AD brain inflammation, one need only review a text on peripheral inflammation biology, leaving out the chapters on humoral medi ators and substituting microglia for macrophages. In several other key respects, however, AD brain inflammation is unique, due primarily to idiosyncratic interac tions of inflammatory mediators and mechanisms with classical AD pathology: amyloid ~ peptide(A~) deposits and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). For this reason, some key concepts about the inflammation that occurs in AD may warrant discus sion in preparation for the more detailed chapters that follow.

Download or read book Inflammation Lifestyle and Chronic Diseases written by Bharat B. Aggarwal and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2011-07-27 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oxidative stress and inflammation are among the most important factors of disease. Chronic infections, obesity, alcohol and tobacco usage, radiation, environmental pollutants, and high-calorie diets have been recognized as major risk factors for a variety of chronic diseases from cancer to metabolic diseases. All these risk factors are linked to chronic diseases through inflammation. While short-term, acute inflammation generated by the immune system serves a therapeutic role, chronic low-level inflammation that may persist "silently" for decades is responsible for chronic diseases. Inflammation, Lifestyle, and Chronic Diseases: The Silent Link describes the role of dysregulated inflammation in persistent and recurring diseases. It investigates links to lifestyle and presents research on how the suppression of proinflammatory pathways may provide opportunities for both prevention and treatment of chronic diseases. The book covers neurodegenerative diseases, pulmonary diseases, asthma, rheumatic and arthritic diseases, skin disease, heart disease, chronic wounds, infectious disease, neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression, gastrointestinal diseases, insulin resistance, and cancer, many of which are also diseases of old age. For each chronic disease, contributors review the clinical and scientific literature and examine current and potential therapies, including conventional pharmacotherapies as well as natural products. Noting that the long-term use of steroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can cause adverse side effects, many of the chapters address the role of dietary agents such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, pulses, nuts, and spices as ideal anti-inflammatory agents that can be consumed regularly. The book also suggests directions for further research. Clinical and science researchers, students, and health professionals interested in the link between inflammation, lifestyle, and chronic diseases will find this an informative resource.

This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alzheimer's Disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is the leading cause of dementia and the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. It is a complicated syndrome that appears to have a number of contributing factors. Three genes are implicated in increased susceptibility to Alzheimer's. They are the genes that code for the amyloid precursor protein, and the presenillins PS1 and PS2. Apoprotein E also increases the risk. Oxidative stress and inflammation contribute to the pathology associated with Alzheimer's Disease. A total of 17 epidemiologic studies have been performed in which non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) or corticosteroids were examined as a negative risk factor. The data from both case-control and population-based studies provide strong evidence that anti-inflammatory drugs may be beneficial to Alzheimer's patients.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alzheimer disease causes the gradual deterioration of cognitive function, including severe memory loss and impairments in abstraction and reasoning. Understanding the complex changes that occur in the brain as the disease progressesincluding the accumulation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tanglesis critical for the development of successful therapeutic approaches. Written and edited by leading experts in the field, this collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine includes contributions covering all aspects of Alzheimer disease, from our current molecular understanding to therapeutic agents that could be used to treat and, ultimately, prevent it. Contributors discuss the biochemistry and cell biology of amyloid -protein precursor (APP), tau, presenilin, -secretase, and apolipoprotein E and their involvement in Alzheimer disease. They also review the clinical, neuropathological, imaging, and biomarker phenotypes of the disease; genetic alterations associated with the disorder; and epidemiological insights into its causation and pathogenesis. This comprehensive volume, which includes discussions of therapeutic strategies that are currently used or under development, is a vital reference for neurobiologists, cell biologists, pathologists, and other scientists pursuing the biological basis of Alzheimer disease, as well as investigators, clinicians, and students interested in its pathogenesis, treatment, and prevention.
Download or read book The Effect of Non steroidal Anti inflammatory Drugs on in Vitro Glial Apolipoprotein E Expression Implications for the Mechanisms and Treatment of Alzheimer s Disease written by Rosanne Aleong and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurological disorder characterized by plaque deposition and an elevated immune response. Epidemiological studies have shown that use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) by the elderly is associated with a decreased relative risk and a delayed onset of AD. Moreover, the apolipoprotein E (apoE) gene has been proven to be a risk factor for AD with apoE &egr;4 AD patients having been found to show lower levels of brain apoE. In the present study, treatment of primary rat mixed glial cell cultures with indomethacin, aspirin, and interleukin-1beta resulted in significant increases in extracellular apoE protein. Furthermore, treatment of primary rat astrocyte cell cultures with aspirin, interleukin-6, and a cyclooxygenase-2 selective aspirin derivative was found to result in increased levels of apoE. Consequently, NSAID-induced increases in apoE protein may enhance apoE-mediated immunosuppression and compensatory synaptic plasticity, potentially resulting in decreased risk and delay of disease onset." --
