A dementia is a medical condition that disrupts the way the brain works. AD affects the parts of the brain that control thought, memory, and language. Every day, scientists learn more about AD, but right now the cause of the disease still is unknown, and there is no cure. An estimated 4 million people in the United States suffer from AD. The disease usually begins after age 65, and risk of AD goes up with age. While younger people also may have AD, it is much less common. About 3 percent of men and women ages 65 to 74 have AD, and nearly half of those age 85 and older may have the disease. It is important to note, however, that AD is not a normal part of aging. AD is named after Dr. Alois Alzheimer, a German doctor. In 1906, Dr. Alzheimer noticed changes in the brain tissue of a woman who had died of an unusual mental illness. He found abnormal clumps (now called senile or neuritic plaques) and tangled bundles of fibers (now called neurofibrillary tangles). Today, these plaques and tangles in the brain are considered hallmarks of AD.

Alzheimer’s as a Glance Alzheimers Disease - Info Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive disease of the brain that is characterized by impairment of memory and a disturbance in at least one other thinking function. Many scientists believe that AD results from an increase in the production or accumulation of beta-amyloid protein that leads to nerve cell death. Loss of nerve cells in strategic brain areas, in turn, causes deficits in the neurotransmitters, which are the brain's chemical messengers. Alzheimer disease is a progressive disease, which means that it gets worse over time. It cannot be cured or reversed by any known treatment. Over time, people with the disease lose their ability to think and reason clearly, judge situations, solve problems, concentrate, remember useful information, take care of themselves, and even speak.

Alzheimer's disease is an illness which is characterised by dementia. It was named after Alois Alzheimer, a German doctor who first described it in 1907. Dementia is the term given to a group of symptoms, which includes confusion, memory loss, poor problem-solving and poor concentration. There are many diseases which lead to dementia, the most common being Alzheimer's disease, which accounts for about 60 per cent of all cases. People with dementia differ in terms of which signs and symptoms they have and the speed and extent to which their dementia progresses - problems vary, even day to day. Dementia usually occurs in older people. About 3 in 100 people over the age of 65 are affected and 10-15 in 100 people over the age of 80. Dementia in people under 65 is known as early onset dementia (previously known as pre-senile dementia) and is rare, affecting only 1 in 1000 people. Symptoms The symptoms of Alzheimer's disease vary from one person to another, depending on how far it has progressed. People with the disease usually experience: Confusion. This may include misunderstanding who or where they are.

ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE Consistent with my philosophy of finding the “road less traveled,” one major area of interest for me is Alzheimer’s disease , which actually is the third-highest cost medical condition in our U.S. healthcare system, far more than HIV/AIDS and many other conditions that get more publicity and funding. I should confess that I have a personal interest in Alzheimer’s.  I have had family members that either had Alzheimer’s or some other form of dementia.  I do not know whether my loved ones had Alzheimer’s because autopsies were not done, and, as I understand it, an autopsy is the only definitive way to determine whether a person has had Alzheimer’s.  Fairly definite diagnoses can be made through memory assessment, and the earlier memory assessment and diagnosis can be done, the more can be done for an Alzheimer’s patient. I help advise the Boston University (BU) Alzheimer’s Disease Center , one of the slightly more than two dozen centers designated as a center of excellence by the National Institutes of Health in a highly-competitive process.  On June 20, I attended an advisory group meeting at

At first, the only symptom may be mild forgetfulness. People with AD may have trouble remembering recent events, activities, or the names of familiar people or things. Simple math problems may become hard for these people to solve. Such difficulties may be a bother, but usually they are not serious enough to cause alarm. However, as the disease goes on, symptoms are more easily noticed and become serious enough to cause people with AD or their family members to seek medical help. For example, people with AD may forget how to do simple tasks, like brushing their teeth or combing their hair. They can no longer think clearly; and they begin to have problems speaking, understanding, reading, or writing. Later on, people with AD may become anxious or aggressive, or wander away from home. Eventually, patients may need total care. Diagnosis Doctors at specialized centers can diagnose probable AD correctly 80 to 90 percent of the time. They can find out whether there are plaques and tangles in the brain only by looking at a piece of brain tissue under a microscope. It can be painful and risky to remove brain tissue while a person is alive. Doctors cannot look at the tissue until they do an autopsy, which is an examination of the body done after a person dies.
