Freshwater prawns can help prevent the spread of schistosomiasis, a potentially deadly parasitic disease that can cause anaemia, stunted growth, infertility, liver failure, bladder cancer and lasting cognitive impairment, according to a new study.

A high-fat diet may not only make us obese, but could also cause cognitive impairment by prompting immune cells in the brain to consume the connections between neurons, says a study.

Many Alzheimer's patients first experience mild cognitive impairment - a pre-dementia condition that significantly increases the risk of developing Alzheimer's in the following months or years.

Individuals with Vitamin D deficiency can be at an increased risk of developing bladder cancer, a study has warned.

A study shows that decline in glucose levels in hippocampus, a region in the brain, appears in the early stages of mild cognitive impairment, predicting Alzheimer's.
