Download or read book The End of Alzheimer s written by Thomas J. Lewis and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2017-05-12 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The End of Alzheimer's: The Brain and Beyond, Second Edition is the first comprehensive overview on the molecular basis of Alzheimer's outside of the brain, merging the most recent findings within the field into a single book. It aims to educate the reader on the many overlooked aspects of Alzheimer's disease that occur outside the brain. This book uniquely provides step-by-step, peer-reviewed evidence that the current research model may be misguided and that a new and emerging model is more accurate. It carefully outlines the molecular research in Alzheimer's outside the brain and argues that a more thorough, whole-body diagnosis will provide better answers about its causes and lead to new treatments. It is beneficial to researchers who need to be apprised of the emerging science on the causes of Alzheimer's, and will hopefully redirect many into new avenues of cellular research and discovery. - Comprehensive literature-based summary of the current state of molecular Alzheimer's disease research - Details the shortcomings of the prevailing model and therapeutics in development - Reviews blood-based biomarkers for Alzheimer's and their link to amyloid- and Tau-independent causes outside the brain - Describes the tissues outside the brain impacted by Alzheimer's and the underlying molecular causes - Explains the whole-body risks associated with Alzheimer's, along with concomitant measures to slow or prevent the disease - Provides a protocol to properly research, evaluate, measure, diagnose, and potentially treat Alzheimer's patients

This book was released on 2010-06-08 with total page 555 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the Autoimmune Diseases Coordinating Committee (ADCC), between 14.7 and 23.5 million people in the USA – up to eight percent of the population are affected by autoimmune disease. Autoimmune diseases are a family of more than 100 chronic, and often disabling, illnesses that develop when underlying defects in the immune system lead the body to attack its own organs, tissues, and cells. In Handbook of Autoimmune Disease, the editors have gathered in a comprehensive handbook a critical review, by renowned experts, of more than 100 autoimmune diseases, divided into two main groups, namely systemic and organ-specific autoimmune diseases. A contemporary overview of these conditions with special emphasis on diagnosis is presented. Each chapter contains the essential information required by attending physicians as well as bench scientists to understand the definition of a specific autoimmune disease, the diagnostic criteria, and the treatment.
