Trajectories of brain loss in aging and the development of cognitive impairment.

abstract：:Recent evidence suggests that the vasopressin analogue desglycinamide-arginine8-vasopressin (DGAVP) might specifically benefit mild brain trauma patients. We investigated the effect of intranasal DGAVP treatment in 32 patients who had sustained a mild head injury for 3 months in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, mat...
