Alzheimer's Disease is the most common form of dementia. The disease is characterised by the loss of synapses and neurons in the cerebral cortex and certain subcortical regions. In the last three years, the genetics of Alzheimer's Disease has made significant advances; in fact, one could argue more than in the previous two decades. This has resulted in the identification of nine new genes and perhaps more importantly the realization that new pathways could be involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's. These new pathways are now legitimate targets for therapeutic intervention, which can...

From the creation of the world and the introduction of the first human beings to their Edenic home, God's deepest passion has always been that each of His children-not just those with Jewish blood take regular, periodic and intensive time with Him, remembering who He is and what we mean to Him. For those who come from a Christian background, the idea of "Sabbath rest" may be unfamiliar territory (although it has become better known recently through a string of self-help books on the subject), but, in our hectic, stress-filled world, it is needed now more than ever and offers tremendous...
