ALZHEIMER

By: Katelyn Withington
“Scientists Reverse Drug”
• Scientists have figured out a way to reverse Alzheimer with
  experimental drugs.
• Trial’s of this drug, known as rember, in 321 patients showed
  an 81% difference in rate of mental decline, compared to those
  who don’t take treatments.
• The Aberdeen University researches said the drug targeted the
  build up of specific protein in the brain.
*Patients That Have Alzheimer*
• Patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s
  disease were given either 30, 60 or 100 mg of
  the drug or placebo.
• The 60 mg dose produced the most effective
  ,over 50 weeks there was a seven- point
  difference on a scale used to measure severity
  of dementia.
About The Treatments
• Some of the treatments for Alzheimer tend to
  focus on combating a waste protein in the
  brain , Beta-amyloid, which is known to form
  hard plaques.
• Methylthioninium chloride is the first
  treatment to target the Tau tangles.
“The Drugs”
• The drugs are still in Trial, forming a new
  class called secretase modulators (GSM).
• A study in nature shows us that they cut levels
  of protein that forms the sticky clumps
  associated with Alzheimer.
• The clumps are formed by long pieces of
  amyloid beta protein that causes breakdown
  between the brain cells and lead to dementia.
Testing
-Scientists are trying to reverse this memory lost.
-The studied on a mice that had alzheimer.
-It was able to regain memory etc.
-They did a playground test about this.
-After 6 weeks with the brain disease the mice were
   no longer able to perform certain tasks that they
   could before. The mice that were shocked could
   remember better then in the cages.
Other Info
• Other treatments for Alzheimer's
  tend to focus on combating a waste
  protein in the brain, beta-
  amyloid, which is known to form hard
  plaques. The latest work suggests
  targeting Tau may produce better
  results.
