Stem cells Benefiting Alzheimers
Stem Cell Research Benefiting Alzheimer’s
Somatic stem cells viable option for permanent cure.
Abstract
Alzheimer’s is a dangerous disease that has been troubling the citizens of the United States of America. Approximately, 5 million Americans of all ages have developed this disease; but most of the people affected are above the age of 65. Alzheimer’s affects the nervous system; this neurodegenerative disease tends to occur when nerve cells in the brain slowly start to die. Billions of dollars are shelled out every year in order to contain this incurable disease. With this game plan, the government is pulling itself deeper into debt while the patients still unable to find a cure.
Fast facts: Alzheimer’s
6th Leading cause of death in the United States of America.
Over 5 million Americas currently suffering from Alzheimer’s.
Approximately, 1 in 3 senior citizens die due to Alzheimer’s
Estimates reveal direct costs for Alzheimer’s are valued over $200 billion.
Medicare & Medicaid shell out extra $142 billion in costs for hospice and long-term care.
Alzheimer’s only cause of death among America’s top 10 without a cure.
ISSUE:
Alzheimer’s is a devastating disease that has been plaguing the citizens of the United States of America. Approximately, 5 million Americans of all ages have developed this disease; but most of the people affected are above the age of 65. Recently, estimations have shown that the disease is expected to grow up to 7 million people. According to statistics, by 2050 the numbers of cases are projected to be around 13 million citizens if the disease failed to be controlled. Moreover, as life expectancy escalates from year to year, Incidents of Alzheimer’s will increase because this disease takes effect as individuals become older. With the improvement in the overall quality of life people will be living longer; if these individuals develop Alzheimer’s it will be a burden financially on the health care
