Slide 1-

Alzheimer's Disease The Worst Plague of The 21st Century
Slide 2-

Alzheimer's disease is a neurological disorder in which the death of brain cells causes memory loss and cognitive decline. What is Alzheimer's disease?
Slide 3-

Dr. Alois Alzheimer The first person to describe this disease
Slide 4-

The first Alzheimer Patient in History Auguste Deter
Slide 5-

A 51 years old women, a patient who had profound memory loss, unfounded suspicions about her family, shrinkage in her brain and other worsening psychological changes like, cognitive and language deficits, auditory hallucinations, delusions, paranoia and aggressive behaviour. The Haunting case of Auguste D.
Slide 6-

Scientists don’t yet fully understand what causes Alzheimer’s disease, but it is clear that it develops because of a complex series of events that take place in the brain over a long period of time. It is likely that the causes include genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Because people differ in their genetic make-up and lifestyle, the importance of these factors for preventing or delaying Alzheimer’s differs from person to person. What causes Alzheimer's disease

Signs and Symptoms Very early sign and symptoms Memory problems are typically one of the first warning signs of cognitive loss, possibly due to the development of Alzheimer’s disease. A decline in other aspects of cognition, such as word-finding, vision/spatial issues, and impaired reasoning or judgment, may also signal the very early stages of Alzheimer’s disease.
Slide 8-

Alzheimer’s disease progresses, memory loss worsens, and changes in other cognitive abilities which are evident. Mild Alzheimer's Disease
Slide 9-

Moderate Alzheimer’s disease In this stage, damage occurs in areas of the brain that control language, reasoning, sensory processing, and conscious thought. Memory loss and confusion grow worse, and people begin to have problems recognizing family and friends.
Slide 10-

Severe Alzheimer’s disease By the final stage, plaques and tangles have spread throughout the brain, and brain tissue has shrunk significantly. People with severe Alzheimer’s cannot communicate and are completely dependent on others for their care. Near the end, the person may be in bed most or all of the time as the body shuts down.

Alzheimer's disease have a tendency to pass from generation to generation. It is a genetic disease which has maximum chances of getting inherited from parents. Genetics
Slide 15-

Diagnosing Alzheimer's disease To diagnose Alzheimer’s, doctors may: Ask questions about overall health, past medical problems, ability to carry out daily activities, and changes in behaviour and personality. Conduct tests of memory, problem solving, attention, counting, and language. Carry out standard medical tests, such as blood and urine tests, to identify other possible causes of the problem. Perform brain scans, such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to distinguish Alzheimer’s from other possible causes for symptoms, like stroke or tumor.
Slide 16-

There is no specific treatment to cure Alzheimer’s disease completely with the prescribed medicines as it is most complex disease ever found in history. There are some prescribed medicines by U.S. food and drug administration to treat Alzheimer’s disease but can’t cure it completely, it can just stabilize the memory and some brain function for limited period of time.
