Some patients with Alzheimer's may have Alzheimer's-like changes, research says

People with Alzheimer's disease can have brain changes that are found in people with Alzheimer's disease.

This was revealed in a medical study conducted in the United States.

This research from Columbia University's Vegloss College of Physicians helps explain memory problems in patients experiencing long codes.

Covid impacts as Alzheimer's disease 

But the researchers said the research was small because it examined samples from just 10 people who had died from COVID,-19 and needed more research.

Scientists came up with the idea of ​​the study after initial reports of a series of cerebral palsy and other symptoms in people who defeated COVID.

In light of this, research has shown that certain molecules in the brain are affected by rhododendron receptors.

Deficiencies in these receptors have been linked in previous research reports to a protein called phosphorylated tau, a risk factor for Alzheimer's.

The new study found that the levels of phosphorylated tau in the brains of patients with Code 19 were significantly increased while those receptors were also affected.

The study found phosphorylated tau in parts of the brain where it is seen in Alzheimer's disease, as well as in areas where it is not seen in Alzheimer's patients.

Research has suggested that the presence of phosphorylated tau in Covid patients may indicate that they have entered the early stages of Alzheimer's, while it may also play a role in other brain symptoms seen in Covid patients.

Researchers have found that elevated levels of this specific protein in the brain are associated with Alzheimer's memory problems, and similar problems can occur with Longwood patients.

Research has shown that additional changes in the brain suggest that the immune response, activated when the severity of the disease is high, increases inflammation in the brain, which inactivates receptors, leading to increased levels of phosphorylated tau. ۔

The researchers said that one of the possible conclusions drawn from the findings was that Alzheimer's disease could develop later in life in people with severe cod, but only after further research could lead to concrete conclusions. Is.

The findings were published in the medical journal Alzheimer's and Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association.
