Leading researcher to speak on Alzheimer One of Canada's leading resear- chers on Alzheimer disease, Dr. Donald McLachlan will be the guest speaker at a special spring lecture sponsored by the Alzheimer Socie- ty of Durham Region on Thursday. April 30, 1992 at 7:30 p.m. at Ballycliffe Lodge in Ajax. Dr. McLachlan's topic will be "New Developments In Understan- ding Alzheimer Disease" with par- ticular reference to the connection between aluminum and Alzheimers. Dr. McLachlan who heads the University of Toronto's Centre for Research in Neurodegenerative Diseases has conducted extensive research into the causes and possi- ble treatments of Alzheimer's disease. He has studied the altera- tions of gene expression which characterize this condition, as well as genetic and environmental risk factors. The risk factors most inten- sively investigated have been neurotoxic effects of aluminum, slow viral infections and im- munological disorders. According to Dr. McLachlan "People should have the same con- cern about the connection between aluminum and Alzheimers as they have about the link between fat and heart disease." In a recent article in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, Dr. McLachlan and his colleagues call- ed for further research and a public health campaign to reduce human exposure to aluminum. The team calls for the listing of aluminum content on packages and reduction of aluminum levels in municipally treated water. They say the maximum daily intake of aluminum should be not more than three milligrams for adults. Accor- ding to Health and Welfare Canada. teenagers and adults consume bet- ween nine and 14 milligrams of aluminum a day in food alone and children ingest two to six milligrams. While Health and Welfare Canada says only a small percentage of this aluminum is ab- sorbed by the body, researchers claim there is still a risk. Alzheimer's disease is a pro- gressive collapse of memory, reasoning power and personality that results from the formation of pathological plaques and tangles of protein in the brain matter. It is in- curable, irreversible and it ends in death. Today, in Canada Alzheimers is the fourth leading cause of death. By the turn of the century, as the pro- portion of aging citizens increases, so will the incidences of Alzheimer disease. The Alzheimer Society of Durham Region provides support to family caregivers through support groups, information sessions, public educa- tion seminars and lectures. The April 30 lecture is the first of a series of three taking place across Durham Region in 1992. There is no charge for the lecture, however peo- ple are asked to call and reserve seats at 576-2567. ~ PET OF THE WEEK This week's pet of the week is a four-month-old, black and tan, male collie-cross.
