Is there any test to detect the chances of Alzheimer's disease?
Hello doctor,
I am a 33-year-old male, and I am a heavy smoker. I smoke cigarettes, and I also vape a lot. I have a family history of Alzheimer's disease; my grandfather had this condition. My doctor told me that smoking increases the chance of developing Alzheimer's disease. Is it true? Can you please suggest easy methods to quit? Are there any tests that I can get done to know my chances of developing Alzheimer's disease?
Thank you.

What are the risks and consequences of bacterial meningitis in an 8-year-old?
Hello doctor,
I have got a concern about my sister's eight-year-old. She recently battled bacterial meningitis and spent a couple of weeks in the hospital. She is recovering well, but we are a bit anxious about potential neurological issues down the road. Are there increased chances of her facing neurological disorders post-meningitis? And, more importantly, is there any medication that can lower these risks? We want to ensure her path to a full recovery without any unexpected bumps. Can you shed some light on the potential symptoms or complications we should be watchful for? Kindly give your suggestions.
