Cognitive decline in dementia is not reduced by high-intensity exercise
For someone with mild dementia, the cost is around £26,000, while for someone with moderate dementia, it is £43,000. Exercise "cannot be recommended as a treatment option for cognitive impairment in dementia", they conclude.
The prolonged review had fuelled speculation Toshiba might abandon the deal and pursue alternative plans such as an IPO for the unit.
A lack of approval by Chinese regulators had held up the deal for months. Nevertheless, the regulator's approval will mean that the company now has the green light to complete the transaction, agreed a year ago, which values the company at $18 billion.
The deal had already missed earlier deadlines for clearance as the companies waited on Chinese antitrust authorities to make a decision. In addition, Toshiba will retain a 40 per cent stake and, together with technology firm Hoya, will ensure that Japanese companies retain a controlling stake of just over 50 per cent.
