Dementia with Lewy bodies has been difficult to diagnose early, but comprehensive cognitive testing could change that

Cognitive profiles for early diagnosis of Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) have been outlined in a new study. Although DLB is the second most common neurodegenerative dementia following Alzheimer's Disease, it is usually misdiagnosed, preventing affected people from accessing care better tailored to their prognosis.

Study advances possible blood test for early-stage Alzheimer's disease

Declining blood levels of two molecules that occur naturally in the body track closely with worsening Alzheimer's disease, particularly in women. Levels were found to drop gradually, from women with no signs of memory, disorientation, and slowed thinking to those with early signs of mild cognitive impairment. Decreases were more prominent in women with moderate or severe stages of the disease. Declines in men were evident in only one molecule, revealing a disease-specific difference between the men and women.
