Download or read book ABC s of Alzheimers Disease written by Bruce Bauer and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABCs of Alzheimer's Disease: a Shared Reality by Me and My Shadow is a story of Bruce and Ethel's Alzheimer's disease (AD) journey, along with a history of AD from autopsies to PET scan research, including technology and genetic discoveries. The book is a realistic, short, comprehensive, evidence-based, description of Alzheimer's disease (AD). It describes AD research, including clinical trials, a simplified understanding of the brain, and the experiences of patient/caregiver persistence and journey as well as hope for the future research possibilities through worldwide basic science, biology, genetic, mathematics, and technology evolution and discoveries. In addition, it identifies AD issues, uncertainties, and author's comments, along with "outside the box" ideas for governance to provide leadership for the coming Alzheimer's disease tsunami. With the future facing an AD tsunami and potential shortage of care personnel, the book provides potential for education and/or training for candidate patients, caregivers, primary care doctors, nurses, physician assistants, license nurse practitioners, certified nurse assistant, institutional care personnel, in-home health personnel, hospital personnel, educators, and politicians. In addition, this book could be a supplement document for geriatric schooling as well as an enlightening and educating source for political leaders (all three branches of government) and their staffs. The book describes a stage by stage behavior symptoms tied to cognitive measures and Alzheimer Association warning signs, along with suggestions for caregiver, relative to patient's state of decline. The book addresses why clinical trials have been failing and why hope for delay and prevention may be forthcoming as well as the 2011 paradigm shift and current presymptomatic candidacy. Clinical trials adventures, along with a suggestion to eliminate the placebo cohort group are described. So, what does the future hold for Alzheimer's disease-hope, promises, delay, prevention, or cure? These are all wants. What is reality? Moving research targets are being addressed and pursued with evolving knowledge and tools. This evolution will probably make current targets obsolete in twenty years. For reality, you be the judge after reading this book. "Out the box" ideas are provided that require governance action for confronting the coming AD tsunami and associated diversity care.

Download or read book Autism Spectrum Disorder and Alzheimer s Disease written by Ghulam Md Ashraf and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book talks about the multidimensional biological etiology of Alzheimer’s disease and autism spectrum disorder which leads to distinctive ways of perception, thinking and learning in affected individuals. It provides a deeper emphasis on the need for early diagnosis, continuous assessment of patients and the proper educational methods and environment required towards enabling people affected with these disorders capable of evolving and learning. This book explores alternative solutions for autism spectrum disorder based on the theory of brain plasticity, the relationship between the gut microbiota and the central nervous system along with genetic factors and toxic metal exposures which are responsible for the oxidative damage resulting in a decreased ability of the patients to use objects or response to auditory stimuli. It also identifies and provides the latest research towards dealing with memory loss, which is the first sign of cognitive impairment followed by behavioral disturbances. These symptoms are associated with a rigorous neuronal decline and the appearance of two brain lesions, senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, which are mainly composed of Aβ and hyper phosphorylated tau protein respectively. This book also provides the latest research towards reducing autism disorder severity such as targeting the disease with symptomatic treatments such as cholinesterase inhibitors, NMDA receptor antagonist, β-secretase and γ-secretase inhibitors, α-secretase stimulators, tau inhibitors, immunotherapy, nutraceuticals, and nano drugs. This book will not only be a good resource for professors and lecturers teaching in the area of neuroscience, medicine, biochemistry, neuroinformatics, and nanotechnology, etc. but also for professionals working in the field of occupational therapy and geriatric clinics and rehabilitation.
