Anesthesia increases risk of developing Alzheimer's disease in patients with genetic predisposition
The use of repetitive anesthesia with isoflurane (one of the most common anesthetics by inhalation) increases the risk of developing changes similar to those observed in AD brains in mice with mutations of the amyloid precursor ...
