The
complex
includes
remnants
of
a
ruined
palace,
fortifications,
gardens,
ponds,
and
fountains.
Koishikawa
Korakuen
Gardens,
Tokyo:
It
is
considered
to
be
one
of
Tokyo's
oldest
and
best
gardens.
It
has
reproductions
of
famous
landscapes
in
miniature,
made
using
stones,
trees
and
manmade
hills
to
replicate
Japanese
and
Chinese
scenery.
Monet's
Gardens,
France:
Artist
Claude
Monet's
garden
in
Giverny
is
straight
out
of
his
paintings.
It
has
a
flower
garden
and
a
Japanese-inspired
water
garden.
Tivoli
Gardens,
Denmark:
It
is
located
in
Tivoli,
the
second-oldest
theme
park
in
the
world.At
night,
the
gardens
are
illuminated
beautifully
and
there
are
stage
performances.
Las
Pozas,
Mexico:
This
garden
(Las
Pozas
means
‘the
wells)
in
Xilitla
is
filled
with
surreal
structures
and
located
2,000
feet
above
sea
level.
It
was
created
by
English
poet
Edward
James
in
a
rainforest.
There
are
waterfalls
alongside
towering
structures.
Garden
of
Dreams,
Nepal:
This
beautiful
garden
has
fountains
and
a
pavilion
for
the
six
seasons
of
Nepal:
summer,
monsoon,
autumn,
pre-winter,
winter
and
spring.
A
new
study
has
uncovered
why
some
people
that
have
brain
markers
of
Alzheimer's
never
develop
classic
dementia
that
others
do.
Alzheimer's
disease
is
the
most
common
form
of
dementia.
People
suffering
from
Alzheimer's
develop
a
buildup
of
two
proteins
that
impair
communications
between
nerve
cells
in
the
brain
-
plaques
made
of
amyloid
beta
proteins
and
neurofibrillary
tangles
made
of
tau
proteins.
Intriguingly,
not
all
people
with
those
signs
of
Alzheimer's
show
any
cognitive
decline
during
their
lifetime.
The
question
became,
what
sets
these
people
apart
from
those
with
the
same
plaques
and
tangles
that
develop
the
signature
dementia?
In
order
to
answer
this
question,
the
researchers
at
The
University
of
Texas
used
high-throughput
electrophoresis
and
mass
spectrometry
to
analyse
the
protein
composition
of
synapses
isolated
from
frozen
brain
tissue
donated
by
people
who
had
participated
in
brain
ageing
studies
and
received
annual
neurological
and
neuropsychological
evaluations
during
their
lifetime.
The
participants
were
divided
into
three
groups
-
those
with
Alzheimer's
dementia,
those
with
Alzheimer's
brain
features
but
no
signs
of
dementia
and
those
without
any
evidence
of
Alzheimer's.
The
results
showed
that
resilient
individuals
had
a
unique
synaptic
protein
signature
that
set
them
apart
from
both
demented
AD
patients
and
normal
subjects
with
no
AD
pathology.
This
unique
protein
make-up
may
underscore
the
synaptic
resistance
to
amyloid
beta
and
tau,
thus
enabling
these
fortunate
people
to
remain
cognitively
intact
despite
having
Alzheimer's-like
pathologies.
Turns
out,
the
consequences
of
healthcare-associated
infections
(HAIs)
reach
well
beyond
patients'
physical
health,
souring
social
relationships,
and
leading
some
healthcare
providers
(HCP)
to
distance
themselves
from
affected
patients.
HAIs
are
infections
that
patients
get
while
receiving
treatment
for
medical
or
surgical
conditions,
and
many
HAIs
are
preventable.
