Home About us Symptoms Symptom search ... Share your misdiagnosis story Introduction: Alzheimer's Disease Alzheimer's Disease: Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects the mental abilities including memory, language, and cognition. Progressively it leads to dementia and death. AD usually arises in late middle age or the elderly but there is a rare familial subtype that occurs earlier. Because AD is so well-known, other causes of dementia or memory loss may be overlooked. Other possible diagnoses include normal aging (if very mild symptoms), emotional problems fatigue depression , and certain medical conditions such as thyroid disease brain tumors multi-infarct disease , or Huntington's disease . In its early stages, a correct diagnosis of AD can also be overlooked itself and misdiagnosed as other conditions such as depression dementia , simple forgetfulness , or senility. Alzheimer's Disease: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease characterized by memory loss, language deterioration, impaired visuospatial skills, poor judgment, indifferent attitude, but preserved motor function. Researching symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease: Further information about the symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease is available including a list of symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease , other diseases that might have similar symptoms in differential diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease , or alternatively return to research other symptoms in the symptom center Misdiagnosis and Alzheimer's Disease: Research more detailed information about

It entails an ongoing atrophy of the cerebral cortex which leads to a massive and progressive cognitive deteriorations such as dementia. The autopsy of a patient's brain usually shows plaques containing beta amyloid which may form years before the first symptoms occur. Along with neurofibrillary tangles, these plaques represent the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. Women are more often effected than men and the average life-span between diagnosis and a patient's death is appox. 8 years.

Mayo Clinic Summary At Mayo Clinic, some of the world's leading research neurologists are looking for ways to predict Alzheimer's Disease, identify high-risk individuals, and develop analytical tools to aid in the search for preventative treatments and an eventual cure. "Keys! Where are my keys? Now where'd I put them?" It's a question you've asked yourself hundreds of times in your life, but now - maybe because you're older or because you seem to be forgetting things more frequently - you begin to wonder...could it be? Is this how it starts? It's also the kind of question that Mayo Clinic neurologists hear every day. Ronald Petersen, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. "Where do we draw the line between pathology and normal aging? We all become forgetful as we age. Providing patients with perspective is one of the most important thing our research does." "We are studying the total spectrum of cognitive changes that develop in aging."

74. Alzheimer's Disease Elevated levels of a peptide in the blood of stillhealthy adults may signal an increased risk of developing Alzheimer s disease, according to new research http://www.cumc.columbia.edu/news/in-vivo/Vol2_Iss20_dec08_03/alzheimers_disease

Developmental Biology Alzheimer's Disease Medical Center History In the Community ... Point of View Elevated levels of a peptide in the blood of still-healthy adults may signal an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, according to new research by Dr. Richard Mayeux and his colleagues in the Taub Institute for Research on Alzheimer's Disease and the Aging Brain. The findings suggest that people at high risk could be given prophylactic therapies to reduce levels of the peptide, AB42, and prevent or delay the onset of the disease. It is projected that the number of Alzheimer's patients in the United States will triple by 2050. The research was published in the Nov. 11 issue of Neurology. By the time symptoms of Alzheimer's disease are detectable, 10 to 20 years have passed since the disease began attacking and killing neurons in the brain. Once symptoms appear, most researchers believe it is probably too late to stop the progression of the disease. Therefore, therapies that prevent the disease from ever reaching this point are considered a better strategy. But preventive therapies can succeed only if doctors are able to predict who is at high risk for developing the disease years in the future. Currently, the only known risk factor for the vast majority of patients is the presence of the APOE4 allele, which quadruples the risk. Since people without the allele also develop the disease, more risk factors will have to be found before it is possible to more accurately assess risk.

Canada's first female astronaut and the world's first neurologist in space is lending her name and voice to a new public awareness campaign called Mission for Memories which seeks to educate Canadians about Alzheimer's disease and the importance of early diagnosis and treatment. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the identification of the disease by Dr. Alois Alzheimer. Dr. Bondar compares the exploration of space to a researcher's foray into the human brain.

a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization About Alzheimer's Disease Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease characterized by a loss of memory and cognition, a decline in ability to perform activities of daily living, and changes in personality and behavior. The increasing severity of symptoms over time ultimately leaves the patient completely dependent on others for care. Approximately 4.5 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease. In a national survey, 19 million Americans said they had a family member with Alzheimer's and 37 million said they knew someone with Alzheimer's . The number of cases is expected to increase to as many as 16 million by 2050. Alzheimer's disease is the eighth leading cause of death in the United States and the fourth leading cause of death, due to disease, for people over the age of 65. 10 percent of people ages 65-74 and nearly half of those over 85 have Alzheimer's disease. The incidence of Alzheimer's disease is about the same for all races, but women are more likely than men to develop the disease, in part because they live longer. A person with Alzheimer's disease will live an average of 8-10 years and as many as 20 years or more from onset of symptoms.

Rice, Ph.D., RN, Professor and Extension Health Specialist, and Janet M. Pollard, MPH, Extension Associate-Health Inside HealthHints.... Alzheimer's Disease What is Dementia? Types of Dementia Diagnosis ... References Alzheimer's Disease Years ago, people were termed "senile" if they became excessively confused as they aged. "Senility" is not a medical diagnosis and really produces the idea that confusion is a given during old age it is not. Dementia, Alzheimer's type is the more correct term and is the most common type of dementia. Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is devastating to the person experiencing it, as well as to family and other caregivers. To date, no known cure exists for Alzheimer's disease. Because people are living longer, we are seeing increasing cases of AD. The Baby-Boom generation is expected to live even longer, so the incidence of AD is likely to continue rising. In addition to the obvious physical and emotional trials of AD, the financial cost for both families and the health care system is terrifying. Most people with AD eventually require long term care placement because few families can provide the amount of "around-the-clock" care required as the disease progresses.
