Mild cognitive impairment | Alzheimer's | ASMR | atrial fibrilation

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) affects 7 or 8 per cent of people in their 60s, and one in four people in their 80s. In an ageing population the number of those with mild cognitive impairment will increase. There's a new perspective on the cause and progress of Alzheimer's disease. Are we doing the right thing by removing accumulated amyloid protein from the brains of people with it? Some people experience a tingly feeling when they hear certain noises and this feeling might be a useful intervention for people with anxiety. Atrial fibrillation is a type of arrhythmia characterised by a rapid and irregular heartbeat. There is increasing evidence that relaxation methods like yoga and meditation can help manage the condition. Hosts: Dr Norman Swan Tegan Taylor
