Hypotheses for the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are described in this paper. The review is intended to be a basic and encyclopedic short insight into metals in AD and discusses the advances in chelation strategies and developments adopted in the treatment of the disease.

Reelin deficiency when combined with AD risk-factors produced consistent impairments in spatial memory tasks. Furthermore, the results further implicate Reelin’s importance in both HF homeostasis and AD pathogenesis.

Research into mental health of populations undergoing migration

The Sustainable Development Goals call for countries to reduce premature mortality from non-communicable diseases through mental health promotion, prevention, and treatment (Target 3.5) and for health services to be made universally available (Target 3.8). This paper is part of a broad, global effort to build the capacity of health systems in high-need settings to expand access to mental health services by integrating those services into primary care. In South Africa, nurses are at the heart of this integration effort, and our goal was to learn how best to support nurses to integrate mental health services into their work.
