CBC News After memory starts to decline in people with a pre-Alzheimer's condition, "executive functions" such as concentration, decision-making and problem-solving may be the next brain functions hit, a new study suggests.
"If someone with mild cognitive impairment starts having trouble staying on task, concentrating, multitasking, making decisions or paying attention to several things at once, that would mean they are progressing toward dementia," said Dr. Ron Petersen of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., who led the study. |

TOULOUSE, France, July 15, 2006 (AFP)
Road and rail traffic in the southwestern French city of Toulouse will be disrupted Sunday as a World War II bomb is made safe, local authorities said.
Between 500 and 1,000 people will be moved from their homes and road diversions put in place as experts work on the 215 kilo (475 pound) bomb discovered Wednesday 1.5 metres (five feet) underground at an old airfield undergoing depollution operations. |
