Can new imaging techniques help determine who will develop Alzheimer’s before symptoms show? Sperling says early detection and prevention research is the best defense against a disease we discover too late to treat.
There may be hope on the treatment side. I don’t know how early you can identify it in practice. They can pick it up several years early, but you have to have a CPT code to do the PET scan. So i don’t know how many people would be affected.
I actually consider this amazing blog , âSAME SCIENTIFIC IMPACT: Scientific Publishing –
Open Journals vs. Subscription-based « Pharmaceutical Intelligenceâ, very compelling plus the blog post ended up being a good read.
Many thanks,Annette
