Early Signs of Alzheimer’s Disease Found in Young Diabetics: A Surprising Discovery
Early Signs of Alzheimer’s Disease Found in Young Diabetics: A Surprising Discovery
The study encompassed approximately 80 participants, examining blood biomarkers and PET scans to identify evidence of neurodegenerative diseases in young adults with diabetes. The participants consisted of individuals with type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and those without diabetes. The group with youth-onset diabetes was sourced from the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Study, a multi-center population-based registry and cohort.
A Disturbing Connection
In addition to elevated blood biomarkers associated with Alzheimer’s disease, individuals with youth-onset diabetes also displayed increased accumulation of amyloid proteins in areas of the brain where Alzheimer’s disease typically manifests.
Shapiro stated, “We are about to enter into a different world of healthcare because of the obesity epidemic in young people. Young people are catching up with adults. We are now seeing more aging-related diseases in young people.”
Shapiro suggests that cognitive testing, typically considered for older adults with diabetes, may also benefit

Culprit of the diseases of civilization? Deadly Quartet!
Civilization disease is a term for a group of diseases that occur more often in developed countries than in third world countries. They are believed to be the result of a modern urban lifestyle. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), prevention plays a vital role in the fight against these diseases.
According to her, it is necessary to focus on measures against the »deadly quartet«. This term sometimes refers to a combination of:
- bad way of eating
- lack of physical activity
- smoking
- excessive drinking of alcohol
According to other authors, it is a combination of obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. All together lead to unnecessary and premature deaths across Europe.
The killer of half the humanity in Europe
Cancer, heart attack, stroke, diabetes – these are the main causes of death in Europe and here as well as one of the causes of disability. They arise primarily due to an unhealthy lifestyle. Free radicals then accumulate in the human body, which accelerate the development of many diseases.
Which disease is it?
- Cardiovascular disease
- Diabetes
- Respiratory disease (asthma, allergies)
- Cancer
- Kidney diseases
Prevention is simple, but…
In addition to regular preventive examinations by a general practitioner, which will indicate the beginning of the mentioned diseases, we can do a lot for our health. But even if preventive recommendations fit into a few words, they are already more difficult to implement. What actually prevents us from a healthy lifestyle?
Laziness kills
Almost everyone knows that regular exercise plays an important role in prevention. But not everyone is willing to overcome their laziness and start moving. At first, the most natural thing is enough – ordinary walking. Let’s skip the car a few times a week, take the stairs, get off one stop earlier and walk! And over time, the following positive effects will occur:
- the extra kilos will disappear
- blood pressure will decrease
- diabetes values will improve
- shortness of breath will be reduced
Cigarettes to cancer
Smoking is considered one of the most serious causes of death from chronic non-infectious diseases, which could, however, be effectively prevented. It is confirmed to cause lung and mouth and throat cancer, is a risk factor for stroke, heart attack, damages t

Diet, a real effect on the brain?
Does eating better, adopting a certain type of diet have a real impact on reducing stress, improving sleep, cognitive performance, or preventing a depressive episode? For Guillaume Fond, psychiatrist and researcher at Marseille university hospitals, and specialist in psycho-nutrition, it goes even further: “ We could consider psycho-nutrition as alternative medicine or alternative medicine, even though it is at the heart of the treatment of mental illnesses and prevention in mental health. » Catherine Lacrosnière, nutritionist, adds that if “ Unfortunately diet does not treat, it helps to better prevent and fend off certain risks, in particular the appearance of certain neurodegenerative diseases. »
Pamper your microbiota
Among the first advice given by Guillaume Fond was the microbiota : « The influence of the microbiota on our immune system is perfectly demonstrated. It strengthens it when it is well, and conversely, when it is altered, it will weaken the immune system and trigger chronic inflammation. »
Do without ultra-processed food
Guillaume Fond: “ We have several meta-analyses which demonstrate that in mental health, in 2022/2023, as soon as the proportion of ultra-processed foods exceeds 20% of the

A child born deaf can hear again thanks to new gene therapy

United Kingdom –
A British baby girl born deaf has regained her hearing after becoming the first person in the world to undergo a new gene therapy. Doctors speak of a new era in the treatment of deafness.
Opal Sandy was born with auditory neuropathy (ANSD), a rare condition caused by a faulty gene that interrupts nerve impulses as they travel from the inner ear to the brain.
The 18-month-old Oxfordshire girl was the first person in the world to be treated with ‘Chord’, a new gene therapy which delivers a ‘working’ copy of the faulty gene into the ear. The operation lasted just sixteen minutes, but it was an unprecedented success. The girl can hear almost perfectly again. According to her parents, she now likes to play with toy drums and her new favorite hobby is making noise by throwing cutlery. “I really couldn’t believe it,” says her mother Jo Sandy. “It was crazy.”
The results were better than expected or hoped, says Manohar Bance, ear surgeon and lead researcher. “Opal’s hearing recovery was so spectacular that we now hope it could be a possible cure for all patients. This study was just the beginning of gene therapies. It marks a new era in the treatment of deafness.”
