At NorthShore, genetic testing is available for these hereditary neurological disorders and others. Family history, ages at diagnosis and neurological features in a family are used to determine the likelihood of an inherited neurological condition and, if one is suspected, which gene(s) should be analyzed.D is the most common cause of dementia, causing a significant decline in memory and cognitive functions. It most often occurs after the age of 65. Less than 10 percent of these cases, though, follow an obvious inheritance pattern known as Familial Alzheimer's Disease (FAD).
The recommendation to change a car's oil every three months or 3,000 miles (4,828 km) is no longer considered the best practice for modern cars and oils. Getting an oil change before it is necessary wastes oil and increases the cost of maintaining the vehicle.
Many newer vehicles now come equipped with an sensor or monitor where a light on comes on indicating you should change the oil. If you are lucky enough to have one of these you will soon realize how much of a waste it would be to change your oil every 3,000 miles. Our vehicles both have these and they are fairly new (2003 and 2005) . In the manual they recommend about a 5,000 oil change schedule, which is a good start. But, what is even more interesting is that the change oil light typically comes on well past the 5,000 mile mark. The light on my car came on at just shy of 8,000 miles, and I do very little highway driving.
