New Approach To Screen Individuals For Early Alzheimer's Disease
With millions of baby boomers entering late adulthood, the number of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) is expected to drastically rise over the next several decades. A team of national researchers, led by Emory University, has developed a rapid screening test to detect mild cognitive impairment (MCI) - often the earliest stage of AD. The findings are published in the online edition of Journal of Alzheimer's Disease.
Helping Nursing Home Staff Become Comfortable With Residents' Sexual Expression

Bringing Rats And Humans Together In The Study Of Distraction And Inattention
When picking through a basket of fruit, it doesn't seem very difficult to recognize a green pear from a green apple. This is easy, thanks to "feature binding" - a process by which our brain combines all of the specific features of an object and gives us a complete and unified picture of it.

Alzheimer's Society Comments On New Help The Aged Report, 'Pain In Older People: Reflections And Experiences From An Older Person's Perspective'
Three fifths of adults would like to see hospitals and healthcare providers penalised for failing to help older people in pain according to a report released recently. The report also highlighted a lack of confidence in health professionals that can alleviate pain and a dismissal of pain in older people. It is unacceptable that more than half the people polled by Help The Aged felt that health professionals dismiss pain in older people as "old age".
Alzheimer's Society Comment On The Northwestern University 'Super Ageing' Project, Initial Observations
Dementia is caused by diseases of the brain and robs people of their lives. It is not a natural part of ageing, but age is the biggest risk factor. This small study may be a stepping-stone to further research that helps us understand why some people retain good cognitive function in later life. This research suggests that older people with good memory do not experience the same brain changes that develop in those with poor memory.


stuff many times before for demonstration purposes, but this was the first time he had been sprayed while having a headache. As expected, when the spray hit him in the face, Perry doubled over from the intense pepper cloud, but this time he felt something he had never felt before. The pepper made his headache disappear instantly."I was shocked.

Here I couldn't even open my eyes, and I'm trying to fight the effects of the spray….my face is burning like hell, and yet I realized I felt better than I had in weeks. My headache was gone. After about 20 minutes of flushing my face with cold water, I knew my headache wasn't coming back and I could breathe normally for the first time in about a month. From being sprayed before, I knew the pepper always opened up your sinuses, but I had never been hit during a sinus attack so I didn't understand the potential until that day. I knew the secret was in the active ingredient of the pepper spray.

Simple hot pepper extract….totally all natural stuff. After that I was hell bent on finding a way to formulate this hot pepper extract in a way that people could tolerate, and it took a few years, but I did it," Perry boasts. According to all the press he's been getting, Wayne Perry certainly did do it. After consulting with many doctors, and researching clinical trials using pepper extract, Perry came up with the world's first all natural nasal spray made with hot pepper extract. It's called "The Sinus Buster", and it's fast becoming the most popular sinus, headache, and allergy reliever ever invented. After selling his spray locally for a couple years, Perry hooked up with SiCap Industries, a manufacturer that specializes in pepper based natural health supplements. The active ingredient in hot pepper extract is Capsaicin, the natural chemical that puts the "Hot" in the peppers.

Perry's secret formula combines two special varieties of hot peppers creating an extract that contains unique properties."I spent several years combining different pepper extracts together to find the combination that works best. Even though all pepper extract is in the form of Oleoresin Capsicum, each has its' own heat factor and other capsicanoids based on the plant variety it comes from. I found that by combining two specific varieties of resins, my formula was able to relieve a whole host of sinus and headache symptoms using an extremely low dose of capsaicin. I also found that by mixing under certain controlled temperature conditions, I was able produce a formula that not only relieves symptoms, but actually soothes and moistens the nasal passages at the same time. This is the most powerful, and yet the most safe nasal spray ever," Perry exclaims.Since launching his Sinus Buster with the backing of SiCap, Perry's unique hot pepper nasal spray is now selling all over the world.

There are even websites in Dutch and German. Moreover, there are hundreds of doctors, journalists, and customers who swear the Sinus Buster is the "real deal". Recently, an article in The Detroit News sparked hundreds of Michigan residents scrambling for the Sinus Buster, and the press attention has barely just begun. In fact during the next two months, The Sinus Buster will appear in The Saturday Evening Post, Ms. Fitness Magazine, on NBC News, and in several magazines in Europe."We get hundreds of emails and calls every week from people who say this spray has changed their lives.

There are 70 million chronic sinus & allergy sufferers in the U.S. alone, and these people are on all kinds of medicines – prescription and OTC, but most of them still can't find any real relief. Besides, the headache medicines cause rebound effects, and the nasal steroid sprays cause nosebleeds and liver damage. We have the first all natural nasal spray that can be used as needed without any side effects whatsoever. The sinus buster will stop a headache in seconds, and it blocks allergy triggers like a champ.

It's incredible stuff, and we were lucky to join forces with Wayne. This is a one of a kind product that will soon be a household name, and to think this medical miracle was discovered by accident," says Bob Haines, Director of Marketing for SiCap Industries.Haines also claims SiCap engineers are working on several "spin off " products using Perry's special hot pepper extract. The company says they're about to release the first liquid capsaicin supplement designed to promote circulatory blood flow, and prevent blood clots that can lead to stroke and heart disease. "The way this product is working for people, we expect to become the biggest natural pharmaceutical company in the world. We also plan on launching both mild and extra strength versions of the sinus buster, and we've already started taking orders for the coming allergy season from customers who don't want to run out of their sinus buster.

Before you know it, Wayne will be back on Oprah, but this time he won't be talking self defense, he'll be talking about the sinus buster," says Rob Sasso, Director of Media for SiCap Industries.To learn more about the world's first hot pepper nasal spray, The Sinus Buster, go to (www.sinusbuster.com).
