\nDemen\u0163a este principala cauz\u0103 de deces \u00een Marea Britanie, dar o treime din cei afecta\u0163i nu are un diagnostic.<\/p>\n
\nProblema principal\u0103 este c\u0103 metodele actuale de confirmare a Alzheimer – punc\u0163ia lombar\u0103 \u015fi scan\u0103rile PET – cost\u0103 aproximativ 1500 de lire fiecare \u015fi sunt rar folosite. Doar 2% dintre pacien\u0163ii cu probleme de memorie fac aceste investiga\u0163ii, conform The Independent.<\/p>\n
\nCercet\u0103torii de la University College London testeaz\u0103 acum o alternativ\u0103: un test de s\u00e2nge care m\u0103soar\u0103 proteina p-tau217, asociat\u0103 cu Alzheimer. Testul poate detecta la fel de precis ca metodele actuale acumularea proteinelor amiloide \u015fi tau \u00een creier, care provoac\u0103 moartea celulelor cerebrale \u015fi simptomele demen\u0163ei.<\/p>\n
\n\u201eDispunem de un test de s\u00e2nge pentru boala Alzheimer care ofer\u0103 informa\u0163ii comparabile cu alte teste standard, dar este mult mai accesibil \u015fi mai ieftin\u201d, explic\u0103 profesorul Jonathan Schott de la UCL.<\/p>\n
\nStudiul a \u00eenceput \u00een august \u015fi va include 1100 de participan\u0163i din 20 de centre NHS. Jum\u0103tate vor primi rezultatele testului \u00een trei luni, ceilal\u0163i dup\u0103 12 luni, pentru a vedea dac\u0103 diagnosticul rapid \u00eembun\u0103t\u0103\u0163e\u015fte \u00eengrijirea pacien\u0163ilor.<\/p>\n
\nTestul nu poate prezice cine va face Alzheimer \u00een viitor, ci doar confirm\u0103 diagnosticul la persoanele care au deja probleme de memorie sau g\u00e2ndire.<\/p>\n
\nPentru familiile afectate, testul ar putea elimina lungi perioade de incertitudine. \u201eUn test de s\u00e2nge ca acesta ne-ar fi ajutat s\u0103 punem diagnosticul chiar de la \u00eenceput \u015fi ar fi f\u0103cut o diferen\u0163\u0103 real\u0103\u201d, spune Michael White, care \u00ee\u015fi \u00eengrije\u015fte so\u0163ia cu demen\u0163\u0103.<\/p>\n
\nKathryn White, diagnosticat\u0103 cu demen\u0163\u0103, adaug\u0103: \u201eA durat foarte mult p\u00e2n\u0103 am primit diagnosticul. \u015etiam c\u0103 ceva nu era \u00een regul\u0103 – m\u0103 r\u0103t\u0103ceam \u00een locuri cu care eram familiarizat\u0103\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
