[ RadSafe ] OT--- Alzheimers

[JPreisig at aol.com]

Dear Radsafe:
 
    Hey all.  60 Minutes (USA TV) recently had a  program about Alzheimers, 
older folks and PET scan data (Positron Emission  Tomography).  Some 
Alzheimers patients had plaques in their brains.   Other such patients had 
evidence of multiple mini-strokes (10 --- 10000 or so)  during their lifetime.  
Hmmmmmm....direct brain cell death due to  mini-strokes.  Guess the effects are 
pretty cumulative.  Wonder how to  treat such mini-strokes?????
 
     Have a great week!!!!
