Fitness may limit brain atrophy in Alzheimer's: the level of fitness was strongly related to volume in the parietal area and also in the hippocampus.
CHICAGO -- Keeping fit may help reduce brain atrophy in patients with early Alzheimer's, researchers said at the International Conference on Alzheimer's Disease. An exercise-tolerance study confirmed that the hippocampus, one of the first brain regions to be affected in Alzheimer's, was significantly larger among patients who...

Soft, fluctuant lesions on head may not be a port wine stain.
DESTIN, FLA. -- A soft, fluctuant lesion near the midline of the forehead or on the scalp might look like a port wine stain, but it could be a serious, potentially fatal condition known as sinus pericranii. Maintain a high index of suspicion for such lesions, Dr....
