Alzheimer's Disease
This article is about Alzheimer's which is known for a neurodegenerative disease that is mostly common in people over the age of 65 years old.There is about 24 million people worldwide that has dementia .Some clinical signs of the Alzheimer's disease is that it is a progressive cognitive deterioration and it is also combined with the activities of daily living .The symptoms are memory loss which is amnesia , minor forgetness which is a steadily denser with the progress and mostly with older memories.They also have plaques which misfolds peptides and is also called amyloid beta which is formed in the brain a few years before you get Alzheimer's.There are some medications that can help reduce the symptoms of this disease.Also there are four genes which contains mutation or variants that is increased the risk of AD which is 30% .
My opinion of this article is that it tells you about how you might get when you get older and might caint remember things.That is why you should be thankful you are in your right mind now.When you get old and caint hardly remember anything that is nothing to play with because i have been around some people who has Alzheimer's.But some people put there parents or loved ones in a nursing home because they have Alzheimer's and they dont want to deal with them and that isnt right how some people treat there loved ones like that and they just stick them in a nursing home and dont go back and see them or nothing.
