Increased butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity has been reported to be associated with the formation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles and may consequently be involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease (AD). Because the catalytic activity of BChE-K variant is reduced by one-thir
The presenilins (PS-1 and PS-2) are 2 members of a novel family of genes encoding integral membrane proteins recently implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. To date, 43 mutations have been identified in PS-1 and 2 in PS-2 that lead to familial presenile AD (onset before age 65 years). The
Shropshire highlighted a lack of action following the detection of abnormal lithium levels (Myers and Hallworth, 1996). There have also been a number of reports regarding ways in which monitoring could be improved. Dedicated lithium clinics have been shown to provide a better standard of monitoring
