Why is Alzheimer’s disease so difficult to treat? - Krishna Sudhir
Dig into how Alzheimer’s disease affects your brain and cognitive abilities, and what makes the disorder so hard to treat.
--
Around the world, millions of people have Alzheimer’s disease, a debilitating brain disorder that gradually destroys a person’s memory and other cognitive abilities. While doctors have studied Alzheimer’s for decades, conducting hundreds of clinical trials, there is still no effective preventive treatment or cure. So, why is Alzheimer’s disease so difficult to treat? Krishna Sudhir investigates.

Alzheimer’s Is Not Normal Aging — And We Can Cure It | Samuel Cohen | TED Talks
More than 40 million people worldwide suffer from Alzheimer’s disease, and that number is expected to increase drastically in the coming years. But no real progress has been made in the fight against the disease since its classification more than 100 years ago. Scientist Samuel Cohen shares a new breakthrough in Alzheimer’s research from his lab as well as a message of hope. “Alzheimer’s is a disease,” Cohen says, “and we can cure it.”

What is Alzheimer's disease?
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia and also the best understood. It is thought to be caused by the formation of abnormal deposits of protein in the brain. These are called plaques and tangles, and they are made up of two key proteins: amyloid and tau.
Amyloid and tau are present in healthy brains, but in Alzheimer’s disease they function abnormally. Amyloid forms plaques outside cells and tau forms tangles inside them. These plaques and tangles damage the nerve cells, causing them to die. When lots of cells die, this causes the brain to shrink.

New drug brings hope to end Alzheimer's - BBC News
Results out today confirm that the drug donanemab, hailed as a turning point in the fight against Alzheimer's, slows cognitive decline by about a third.
The antibody treatment helps in the early stages of the disease.
It works in Alzheimer's disease, not in other types of dementia, such as vascular dementia.
That is because it is designed to clear away one of the key features of Alzheimer's disease - a substance called amyloid that builds up in the spaces between brain cells.

Alzheimer's disease (dementia): Stages, symptoms, treatment, medications, pathophysiology, nursing interventions, NCLEX review.
Alzheimer's disease is a type of dementia that affects the brain. It leads to the gradual loss of cognitive, motor, and communication abilities.
Quiz: https://www.registerednursern.com/alzheimers-disease-nclex-questions/
There are various stages of Alzheimer's disease. These stages include: Preclinical Alzheimer's disease, Mild Cognitive Impairment, Mild Alzheimer's disease (Early Stage), Moderate Alzheimer's disease (Middle Stage), and Severe Alzheimer's disease (Late Stage).
The pathophysiology of this disease involves beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, which leads to the impediment of communication between neurons, and eventually the death of these neurons. Note: there is some controversy right now over this theory, so our scientific understanding of the patho may change with more research.
Testing for Alzheimer's disease includes: cognitive assessments, mental evaluation, diagnostic imaging (MRI, CT, and amyloid PET scan), biomarkers (cerebrospinal fluid CSF assessment for amyloid and Tau protein), and a new blood test that assesses for these proteins.
Signs and symptoms of Alzheimer's disease includes: apraxia, aphasia, anomina, agnosia, wandering, Sundowner's Syndrome and more. Nursing interventions for Alzheimer's disease include the 7 M's (memory, movement, maximizing communication and more).

Alzheimer's disease (dementia): Stages, symptoms, treatment, medications, pathophysiology, nursing interventions, NCLEX review.
Alzheimer's disease is a type of dementia that affects the brain. It leads to the gradual loss of cognitive, motor, and communication abilities.
Quiz: https://www.registerednursern.com/alzheimers-disease-nclex-questions/
There are various stages of Alzheimer's disease. These stages include: Preclinical Alzheimer's disease, Mild Cognitive Impairment, Mild Alzheimer's disease (Early Stage), Moderate Alzheimer's disease (Middle Stage), and Severe Alzheimer's disease (Late Stage).
The pathophysiology of this disease involves beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, which leads to the impediment of communication between neurons, and eventually the death of these neurons. Note: there is some controversy right now over this theory, so our scientific understanding of the patho may change with more research.
Testing for Alzheimer's disease includes: cognitive assessments, mental evaluation, diagnostic imaging (MRI, CT, and amyloid PET scan), biomarkers (cerebrospinal fluid CSF assessment for amyloid and Tau protein), and a new blood test that assesses for these proteins.
Signs and symptoms of Alzheimer's disease includes: apraxia, aphasia, anomina, agnosia, wandering, Sundowner's Syndrome and more. Nursing interventions for Alzheimer's disease include the 7 M's (memory, movement, maximizing communication and more).
