Alzheimer's Awareness Week is July 6th-12th
Alzheimer's Disease is a devastating medical condition that affects millions of people around the world.
NEW YORK, NY, July 05, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Lynda Anderson, Ph.D., Director of the Healthy Aging Program in the Division of Adult and Community Health in the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention, declares that "Alzheimer's Awareness Week is July 6th-12th".
Sam Gandy, M.D., of the Alzheimer's disease Research Center at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York stated, "New research appears to upend our current scientific understanding of the causes of Alzheimer's disease, and may lead to a whole new approach to finding a cure for the devastating dementia."
Dr. Gandy continues, "Clumps of amyloid (called oligomers) are the key components that impede brain cell function in Alzheimer's patients, not the buildup of amyloid plaques as described over 100 years ago. These findings may enable the development of drugs that detoxify oligomers."
The CDC director continued "Alzheimer's Disease is a devastating medical condition that affects millions of people around the world. Also known as the "Brain Wasting Disease," Alzheimer's takes a devastating toll on its victims and their families. There is no known cure for this terrible ailment, and the number of American's affected is growing at an alarming rate."
