Alzheimer’s Disease :: Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Study
The Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) – a project developed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) – is seeking 800 older adults to participate in a study aimed at identifying biological markers of memory decline and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Ultimately, scientists hope that brain and biological changes can be detected before memory decline and other symptoms appear, allowing the effectiveness of drugs to be evaluated at the earliest possible time.
Dental Health :: Diabetes Can Harm Young Children’s Gums

Many types of cells involved with the immune system – have been shown to alter their behavior in the presence of flavonoids. Prevention of excessive inflammation appear to be a key role played by many different chemical categories of flavonoids.
