A Simple Eye Test Could Detect Alzheimer’s Sooner Than Ever Before, Scientist Discovers

Besides the toll it can take on patients and their caregivers, one of the most difficult parts of Alzheimer’s disease can be reaching a diagnosis. Even those who take steps to reduce their risk of cognitive decline may not be able to notice it until it’s in its middle or late stages, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. Fortunately, rigorous research is working to better our understanding of the condition and tackle it early on. And now, scienti…

FDA Approves First Blood Test for Alzheimer’s Disease Detection

The FDA cleared Lumipulse, a blood test by Fujirebio Diagnostics, which detects amyloid beta plaques – a key Alzheimer’s marker – by measuring proteins p-Tau217 and beta-amyloid 1-42. This offers a faster, cheaper and more accessible alternative to PET scans or spinal taps. Current methods (PET scans and spinal taps) are costly and invasive, often delaying diagnosis. Lumipulse’s simple blood draw could make early detection feasible for millions,…

DEXYPTAGE - The United States has just authorised the very first blood test to detect this neurodegenerative disease. It could be available next year in France.

A new risk test for common diseases has been published online.

Alzheimer affects a million people in France. To combat this disease effectively, screening must be done as soon as possible.
