Challenging Views of Alzheimer's Disease - ROUND II | ||||||||||||||||
March 03, 2003 | ||||||||||||||||
World Events Forum, Inc., Cincinnati, Ohio, USA July 24-27, 2003 Seven of the topics listed below will be the foundation of the meeting's debates: A. Disease mechanisms Do infectious agents cause AD? Cognitive reserve: Is bigger better? Is AD mostly in the genes? Oxidative Stress: Big Factor or Small? Do diet and metabolism contribute to AD? Is it APP rather than Abeta that is most relevant? Does protein aggregation cause most neurodegenerative disease? Are autoimmune mechanisms involved in AD? Are there alternative animal models for AD (anti-NGF mouse, CMV mouse)? Is AD a brain-specific disease? B. Diagnosis and therapeutics Predicting Alzheimer's disease: are pictures enough? Is cerebral amyloid angiopathy an intrinsic part of AD pathology? Gene Therapy and its little brother, RNAi: Are they ready? Aß degradation: Are there therapeutic strategies in it? Is MCI a good predictor of AD? Do NSAIDS prevent AD through an anti-inflammatory pathway? Will AD treatments based on the cholinergic hypothesis ever be more than palliative? How do you know if an AD drug is effective? Is there a role for anti-Aß immunotherapy in treating or preventing AD? The neurotrophin hypothesis: Will growth factors help?
