Using a blood test, a German-Dutch research team has predicted the risk of Alzheimer s disease in people who were clinically diagnosed as not having Alzheimer s disease but who perceived themselves as cognitively impaired (Subjective Cognitive Declined, SCD). The researchers analyzed blood samples from an SCD cohort supervised at the Alzheimer Center Amsterdam. Using a test developed at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) called the Immuno-Infrared Sensor, they identified all 22 subjects at study entry who developed Alzheimer s dementia, thus the clinical symptoms, within six years. The test also showed which subjects were at very low risk to develop Alzheimer s dementia within six years. The team describes the results in the journal

389 of today s cases are in Cork, 355 are in Dublin, 339 are in Donegal, 258 are in Louth, 233 are in Mayo, 209 are in Limerick, 150 are in Sligo, and 116 in Galway.
The remaining cases are spread across all other counties.
Speaking on Saturday, Chief Medical Officer Tony Holohan said: Hospitalisations are rising to levels close to what we saw in the springtime. Everyone needs to stay at home other than for essential work or care. This includes asking neighbours or family to carry out errands such as grocery shopping, limiting all contacts to only those people you live with or have to visit for essential care reasons.
