Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder with no cure and not completely understood mechanisms. This devastating disease is one of the main causes of dementia in elderly people worldwide. Among different mechanisms of neuronal death associated to Alzheimer's disease, oxidative stress can be considered as one of the most studied. Several data from literature in this field have shown that oxidative stress seems to be a critical step in the neurodegenerative course of the disease. Clinical trials using antioxidants have described conflicting results, some of them supporting the importance of the use of antioxidant compounds to ameliorate disease's symptoms and the others showing negative results in terms of beneficial effects of antioxidant therapy in the disease progression.
