Patient reported to have symptoms similar to Alzheimers dementia, resolves after discontinuation of Tylenol PM. Typically anticholinergic side effects are thought of as mainly a concern for elderly patients, however, in this case, my patient was in her 50s. If you think about how many patients in midlife are on medications with like Tylenol PM that have anticholinergic side effects, its astounding, and that has major implications for evaluation of memory loss in this age group

Dr. Dave' directs a memory clinic and sees many patients frequently with complaints of memory problems and they are often on medications that can cause memory problems. Dr. Dave', said, "Memory problems are so common and the big concern for most patients is, am I developing Alzheimer's dementia? However, I find that many of these patients are on medications that have anticholinergic properties that can cause memory problems, and by eliminating them, the memory problems can sometimes lessen or improve, and sometimes improve dramatically."

He added that a lot more basic science work is needed before such drugs are developed. They want to figure out what this newly identified modulator of calcium channel does in the normal brain, and then how it precisely works to increase the risk for Alzheimer’s.
   
"This is a robust genetic risk factor that was identified now in four different populations,” said Dr. Marambaud. “Having this risk gene can cause a functional problem. It may not only affect the balance of calcium in the brain, which is key to normal cellular processing in memory formation, but also increases the formation of the amyloid peptide, a key player in the pathogenic process of the disease”. He said that the gene, located on chromosome 10, is restricted primarily to the brain. This new work not only provides a better understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms leading to the disease but also identifies CALHM1 as a potentially important new target for therapy.
