06/23/2009 -- Spectroscopy method shows potential for early detection, better treatment of Alzheimer's disease
JUNE 23, 2009--Using minimally invasive biospectroscopy, Canadian scientists have been able to identify changes in oxidative stress (OS) levels in blood plasma, which may prove to be a useful biomarker in the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. There is currently no accepted laboratory test for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease. The technology has been licensed to Molecular Biometrics, Inc. (Montreal, Canada). -
06/26/2009 -- Low level light therapy proves promising for Parkinson's treatment
JUNE 26, 2009--Low level light therapy (LLLT) holds potential for improving neuronal cell function in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), according to a new study from the University of Virginia Health System. The study showed that a brief treatment with a 810 nm low level, NIR laser increased for two hours the velocity of mitochondrial movement in cells taken from patients with sporadic PD, speeding it to levels comparable to cells from a disease-free, age-matched control group. -
