Hello, Here is good news for Alzheimer's patients, British scientists have developed a drug which may halt the progression of Alzheimer's disease, which may be in the market in 2012. Drug tests, known as Rember, in 321 patients showed a 81% difference in rate of mental decline than those who received no treatment. The University of Aberdeen in Scotland, said the drug acts on the accumulation of a specific protein in the brain. Experts in Alzheimer's are optimistic about the results but said they now needed larger trials to confirm its effectiveness. In presenting his research at the International Conference on Alzheimer's Disease in Chicago, Claude Wischik said the drug may be on the market until 2012.
