hour. The amyloid beta levels in the visual cortex and there was a 50 percent reduction. With the same approach, this study was followed up by a third study. Same flicker room and light shining through the eye balls for 1 hour a day for 7 days, using mice with full blown Alzheimer’s. The results were the same. There was nearly a 50 percent reduction in amyloid beta levels. However, one downfall was that unless the lights were flickered every 24 hours, the levels of amyloid beta levels increase again

VASOSPASM IN SUBARACHNOID HAEMMORHAGE The Role of Intervention INTRODUCTION Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), is a significant healthcare problem. It is associated with significant mortality and morbidity even after adequate treatment has been delivered. One of the major causes for this poor outcome is the development of vasospasm from the pathophysiological process itself. For those patients who have survived the initial bleed, it remains a challenge to ward off the effects of vasospasm. Various

Raynaud’s disease is when the body restricts the amount of blood flow to various parts of the body, such as the hands and feet.

When Raynaud’s occurs
