Air Pollution Linked to Dementia in New Study
A Johns Hopkins University study, published in Science, found long-term exposure to PM2.5 air pollution increases dementia risk by triggering the formation of toxic protein clumps in the brain, similar to those in Lewy body dementia.

HSV-1 and Alzheimer's Disease: A Correlation Study
A study of 340,000 patients over 50 in the US found an 80 percent increased relative risk of Alzheimer's disease among those with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), while antiviral therapy reduced the risk by 17 percent; however, the study does not establish causation.
