Severe symptoms of menopause linked to dementia, study suggests
menopause can act as early warning signs for dementia.Dr. Zahinoor Ismail, a professor of psychiatry, neurology, epidemiology and pathology at the Hotchkiss Brain Institute, said the result comes from an ongoing cross-sectional study about Canadian brains and aging from CAN-PROTECT.Ismail said his initial interest in the effects of menopause was sparked years ago in his medical practice.“I remember a case from early 2001 with a woman who presented in the emergency room with a whole host of brain symptoms, both cognition and psychiatric, and it turned out she was just in early menopause,” Ismail told The Canadian Press.“So instead of treating her for these neurological and psychiatric conditions, we normalized her estrogen and her symptoms resolved.“That was the genesis of this study.”The overall study involves 2,400 people across Canada, who are asked a number of questions about their cognition, behaviour, function, health, wellness, lifestyle, diet, exercise, vitamin supplements, medications, medical and psychiatric conditions and quality of life.Data from 800 of those subjects is being used to study the effects of menopause on the brain.

Opioid 25 times more powerful than fentanyl detected in Quebec City region

Public health officials working in the Quebec City-area now say it has been increasingly found in the Montreal area since the beginning of 2024.No overdoses in the Quebec City region have been linked to the protonitazepyne tablets, but officials say it presents a very real threat.“However, it’s clear that given the potency and the fact that it’s in a tablet of something else, the risk of overdose is very high for people who would consume this tablet,” Dr.
