How Does Alzheimer's Affect The Brain
The Study of Alzheimer’s Disease and its affect on the elderly
Widely range research has been looked at when studying Alzheimer’s disease and the brain. Scientist and doctors have their own theories which are to be proven evidence on how Alzheimer’s disease affects the brain. Periodic figures show the results in the stages studied about Alzheimer’s. No one knows the actual cause of Alzheimer’s disease, but they do know the affects it does to the brain. “Clinical trials are the engine that powers medical progress. Through clinical trials, researchers test new ways to detect, treat and prevent Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Without clinical trials, there can be no new treatments or cures.
Over the last 15 years, scientists …show more content…
Alzheimer’s disease is being researched by scientist who thinks that the absence of protein in the body plays an affect on ones brain. Alzheimer’s can strike fast or very slowly. Alzheimer’s disease is one of the largest diseases affecting the elderly population today. Alzheimer’s is listed number four in the highest death rate of the elderly. Alzheimer’s is known to strike the brain. There are many signs and symptoms, such as speech, forgetfulness of where you live, or where you put your keys last. As Alzheimer’s increases with age there becomes a need for assistance with bills, bathing, cooking, …show more content…
There is new, and advance technology to help with finding a cure, and medications use to slow the growth of Alzheimer’s as it affects the brain. The disease itself really makes the elderly very stressful as it progresses on the brain. It is know for killing the nerve cells in the brain. Scientist and doctors are studying more and more as they show interest about the disease. The interest of study in Alzheimer’s is the early, mid, and late onset of the disease. Alzheimer’s disease has not yet has a cure, but medications are giving slowing the rapid process of the disease. The University of Carolina, in San Francisco has a research center for Alzheimer’s disease, where they have done studying on medication for Alzheimer’s disease. The term dementia defines a collection of symptoms and is not in itself a specific disease. Tacrine, donepezil, rivastigmine, galantamine and memantine are five FDA approved drugs for the treatment of AD. These drugs, with their limitations, are not perfect agents. Numerous therapeutic options are currently being investigated for treating AD and improving patient care,
