The First Alzheimer's Patient

specific disease

In November 1901, German psychiatist Alois Alzheimer encountered a woman named Auguste Deter (Auguste D, as she came to be known) who had been brought to Alzheimer's Frankfurt clinic by her husband.


According to the husband, the couple had been harmoniously married since 1873, but he had recently noticed a gradual decline in his wife that went beyond short- and long-term memory loss.  At the relatively young age of 51, she had become disturbingly absent-minded, making obvious mistakes in food preparation, neglecting her housework, stashing objects in nooks and crannies around their apartment, wandering aimlessly from room to room, and suffering from intense bouts of jealousy and paranoia.

heart attack

UPPSALA, SWEDEN, September 12 -- New data shows that women who have hysterectomies after menopause have a four-times greater heart attack rate than those who keep their uteruses. A study led by Dr. Margareta Falkeborn, of the Department of Public Health and Caring Sciences/Geriatrics at Sweden's University of Uppsala, found no increase in heart attack risk in premenopausal women who underwent hysterectomy unless both ovaries were removed as well.


Dr. Falkeborn's study included 17,126 women who had undergone a hysterectomy and oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries) from 1965 to 1983. The postmenopausal women generally required hysterectomy for fibroid tumors (non-cancerous growths).
