A simple, finger prick blood test — not so different from what people with diabetes do every day — shows promise in the ability to detect Alzheimer’s disease.

Sleep dysfunction can impede the brain. Their research shows that the combination of short sleep (<5hours/night) and hypertension is associated with worse cognitive performance (executive function/processing speed) and brain injury (higher white matter volume). The causality is unclear. The combo of short sleep and high blood pressure may lead to subclinical cerebrovascular injury leading to cognitive impairment. Further research needs to be conducted to confirm results and to examine this interaction more completely. Sleep problems and hypertension are treatable and high-risk groups could be targeted for prevention trails.
