Alzheimer's is a form of dementia that causes memory loss and confusion. In the early stages, which last 2-4 years, patients lose interest in activities and show short-term memory loss, though past memories remain. Towards the end of this stage, patients cannot perform jobs or schedules. The second stage lasts several years and is characterized by extreme confusion and memory failure, where patients recognize faces but avoid unfamiliar people to reduce confusion. Restlessness becomes frequent, especially in afternoons.

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder that destroys memory and thinking skills. It is the most common cause of dementia among older adults. Some key points:
- The disease starts with plaque and tangle formations in the brain that damage and kill neurons, leading to memory loss, problems with thinking and reasoning, and behavioral changes.
- Risk factors include age, family history of the disease, and possibly certain genes. Having the APOE-e4 gene variant increases risk.
- As the disease progresses, cognitive and functional abilities steadily decline until the final stage where individuals lose the ability to carry on a conversation and respond to their environment.
- There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease and it leads to death,

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder that causes memory loss and cognitive decline. It is the most common form of dementia and develops due to a complex biological process in the brain over many years. Approximately 5.3 million Americans have Alzheimer's currently, and it is the fifth leading cause of death among those aged 65 and older. Symptoms include memory loss, problems with language, disorientation, and changes in mood and personality. Alzheimer's progresses through mild, moderate and severe stages as cognitive abilities and independence decline. While there is no cure, certain drugs can temporarily slow the worsening of symptoms for some individuals.

Alzheimer's is a brain disease that causes nerve cells to die, resulting in memory loss and cognitive decline. It currently affects 2.4-4.5 million Americans, and that number is projected to more than triple to 16 million by 2050 as the population ages. The risk of Alzheimer's doubles every five years after age 65. While there are medications that can temporarily slow the symptoms, there are currently no treatments that can cure or stop the progression of Alzheimer's disease.

Alois Alzheimer discovered Alzheimer's disease in 1906 after examining a woman with memory loss and cognitive decline. Alzheimer's is a progressive brain disease that causes memory loss and impaired thinking, and eventually prevents even basic tasks. It begins with mild memory loss and difficulty with tasks, then worsens to include problems with language, orientation, personality, and mobility. Risk factors include older age, family history, Down syndrome, and lifestyle choices, though there is no cure and treatment only manages symptoms.

Alzheimer Presentation
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, degenerative illness that destroys memory and cognitive skills. It was first described by Dr. Alois Alzheimer in 1906 and millions have been diagnosed since. The disease attacks the brain and results in impaired memory, thinking, language, judgment and behavior. Warning signs include memory loss, difficulty performing tasks, disorientation, mood changes and loss of initiative. While most common in those over 65, Alzheimer's can also occur in younger adults between 30-50 on rare occasions. The causes are still uncertain but age and family history are potential risk factors.
Alziemer disease
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive mental deterioration that causes generalized brain degeneration and is the most common cause of premature senility. It was first detected by Alois Alzheimer in the early 20th century. Approximately 5.8 million Americans over 65 have Alzheimer's, with 80% being over 75 years old. The disease causes severe memory impairment and loss of ability to perform daily tasks as it progresses. Medications can temporarily improve or slow symptoms to help maximize independence. Memory loss, difficulty finding words, repeating questions, forgetting conversations and events, and misplacing items are signs. It also impacts judgment, decision making, mood, sleep, wandering, and causes delusions.

This document provides an overview of Alzheimer's disease including:
- A case study of a 69-year-old woman whose symptoms progressed from mild memory loss to severe confusion and disorientation over several years. Testing confirmed Alzheimer's disease.
- Alzheimer's is a progressive brain disorder that destroys memory and thinking skills. It is the most common cause of dementia.
- The stages of Alzheimer's progression are described from very mild memory loss to severe cognitive decline and inability to communicate.
- The disease is characterized by beta-amyloid plaques and tau protein tangles in the brain which disrupt neuron function and lead to brain atrophy.
- Genetic factors include rare mutations that cause early-onset Alzheimer's as well
Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative neurological disorder that causes memory loss, thinking problems, and behavioral issues. It is characterized by the buildup of beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain that destroy neurons, especially in the cerebral cortex. Alzheimer's was first described in 1906 by Dr. Alois Alzheimer based on autopsy findings of a patient with dense brain deposits and twisted fiber strands. There are two main types - early onset before age 60 which progresses quickly, and late onset which is more common and occurs in those over 60. Early symptoms include memory loss, language problems, mood changes and difficulty with tasks, and it eventually causes complete inability to function independently.

Alzheimer
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder that destroys memory and thinking skills. It accounts for 60-80% of dementia cases and usually starts slowly and gets worse over time, becoming severe enough to interfere with daily life. The main risk factor is age, with most people over 65 affected, though early onset Alzheimer's can occur in people in their 40s and 50s. Symptoms include memory loss, problems with thinking and language, and behavioral changes. The cause is not fully understood but involves plaques and tangles that build up in the brain over many years due to genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. While there is no cure, current treatments can help manage symptoms.
Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. It is a neurodegenerative disease that causes deterioration of the brain and destruction of nerve cells. This leads to a loss of functioning in the brain and difficulties sending proper signals. While the cause is unknown, family history increases risk. Alzheimer's affects the brain, causing shrinkage and clumps/tangles that impair intellectual functioning. Symptoms worsen over 7 stages, from mild memory loss to severe impairment. Currently there is no cure, but drugs can help treat some symptoms.

As you can see in this photo the Tangles and Plaques (fluffy bal.docx
As you can see in this photo the Tangles and Plaques (fluffy ball looking objects) get in the way of the neurons communication.
The blue color shows the brain that is first affected in the early stages of Alzheimer’s.
Even though scientists have not been able to figure out why Alzheimer’s exists, they have been able to define what it is that happens when you have Alzheimer’s disease. When you have Alzheimer’s the very important communication that happens between neurotransmitters is disrupted by Tangles and Plaques that are pieces of protein that are supposed to be broken down by other neurons that instead float around and become toxic and eventually kill neurons in the brain. When you have this disease your brain shrinks in size and the parts of your brain that are in charge of planning, thinking, memory, and learning are affected. As neurons in the brain die people experience more symptoms of Alzheimer’s. Scientists have put this showing of symptoms in seven different stages ranging from No Impairment to Very Severe Decline.
Stage one – No Impairment: Alzheimer’s begins in the brain before anyone even recognizes that it happens. These Tangles and Plaques begin to form for 20 or more years before anyone even notices that it is happening. In this time, nerve cell death and tissue loss (shrinking of the brain) are happening over time. Memory and cognitive abilities seem normal.
Stage Two – Very Mild Decline: In this stage, Alzheimer’s is not usually diagnosed. Memory loss is put to growing old as most people at 65 begin to experience some memory loss naturally. A person in stage two may experience losing things around the house but is okay with the everyday tasks of life.
Seven stages of Alzheimer’sWhat is Alzheimer’s?

The blue color shows the brain that is first affected in the mild to moderate stages of Alzheimer’s.
Stage 6 – Severe Decline: From this point on constant supervision is needed for the patient. The patient is almost always confused or unaware of their environments. They often experience a change in personality and behavior, and may only recognize closest friends and family. They also experience loss of bladder and bowel control and can no longer remember details of personal history. This stage usually lasts two and a half years.
Stage 5 – Moderate-Severe Decline: At this stage, patients need assistance with daily life. Patients experience significant confusion and have a hard time remembering simple details about themselves like their phone numbers. They usually can, however, shower and use the restrooms by themselves, and remember family members, friends, and their history Specifically from their youth and childhood. Patients usually remain in this stage for about a year and a half.
Stage 7 – Very Severe Decline: Because Alzheimer’s is a terminating disease; this is the final stage before death. The patient can no longer respond to his or her environment, and ...
