InsideMyBeing.com — a clip from the acclaimed short film on Alzheimer’s Disease. This film was written and directed by Roberto Carlo Chiesa which chronicles the ordeal of a mother and daughter dealing with Alzheimer’s disease from the point-of view of the Alzheimer’s patient and talks to caregivers and family members struggling to not let go in communicating with their loved one. .

What most people do not know, that this disease can not be diagnosed for sure only after the patient dies. The video explains simply, how diagnoses happens in a clinical environment and what signs you need to watch out for if you are a patient. If it can not be cured, controlling the disease helps to live with it.

Tampa FL 33613 Down Syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease: Two Sides of the Same Coin Trisomy 21 Down syndrome (DS) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) share many pathological and mechanistic features that provide insights into the pathogenesis of the two diseases and suggest novel approaches to therapy. The earliest connection between DS and AD came with the recognition that all DS individuals develop AD pathology by age 20 and most develop dementia by age 50. The fact that the gene encoding the Alzheimer Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) resides on chromosome 21 further linked two disorders. These results led us to propose a unifying hypothesis for DS and AD in which Alzheimer’s is a cell cycle disease in which patients develop trisomy 21 cells throughout …

Alzheimer’s disease or simply Alzheimer’s, is the most common form of dementia. It is an incurable, degenerative, and terminal disease. Generally it is diagnosed in people over 65 years of age although the less-prevalent early-onset Alzheimer’s can occur much earlier. As the disease progresses, nerve cells in several brain areas shrink and die, including cells that normally produce critical neurotransmitters, the chemical messengers that relay brain signals from one nerve cell (neuron) to another. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that is deficient in people with Alzheimer’s. As nerve cells continue to die, the brain itself shrinks and the wrinkles along its surface become smoother. .
