Q: What is Alzheimer’s Disease?

A: Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative condition that affects a person’s memory and other cognitive functions, making it difficult to perform daily tasks and activities.

Question 2

Q: What is the difference between Alzheimer’s disease and dementia?

A: Dementia is a clinical syndrome of progressive cognitive impairment. The most common cause is Alzheimer’s disease. A neurologic evaluation is needed to determine the cause of dementia so that the most appropriate treatment can be provided.

Question 3

Q: What is the difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s disease?

A: Dementia is a general term for a group of memory disorders that can cause loss of memory, thinking abilities, language, problem-solving, and judgment skills. Alzheimer's is a specific medical disease and also a type of dementia.

Question 4

Q: What is Alzheimer’s?

A: There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease, but it can be managed with proper care.

Question 5

Q: What is typically the first sign of Alzheimer’s disease?

A: The first sign of Alzheimer’s disease is typically mild forgetfulness. A person may have trouble remembering recent events or take longer than before to finish a task.

Question 6

Q: What changes in the brain happen to people with Alzheimer’s disease?

A: Alzheimer’s disease is a degenerative brain disorder that leads to memory loss and cognitive decline. It is caused by the buildup of abnormal proteins in the brain, which leads to the death of nerve cells.

Question 7

Q: What is dementia?

A: Dementia is a loss of thinking, remembering, and reasoning skills that interferes with a person’s daily life and activities. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia among older people. Other causes of dementia include blood-vessel disease in the brain (called vascular dementia), Parkinson’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, and Lewy body disease.

Question 8

Q: What is a leaky blood-brain barrier?

A: The blood-brain barrier is a protective barrier that separates the brain from the bloodstream. When this barrier is damaged, it’s called a leaky brain.

Question 9

Q: What is Alzheimer’s disease and how does it differ from dementia?

A: Dementia is a general term for diseases that cause the gradual loss of ability to think, communicate, and live independently.

Question 10

Q: What is a placebo?

A: A placebo is an inactive pill, liquid or powder that has no treatment value.

Question 11

Q: What is Alzheimer's?

A: The exact cause of Alzheimer’s disease is still unknown, but researchers believe it may be related to abnormal deposits of proteins in the brain.

Question 12

Q: How does Alzheimer's usually progress?

A: Alzheimer's disease typically progresses slowly, beginning in a pre-symptomatic stage and advancing through several stages.

Question 13

Q: How is Alzheimer's treated?

A: There is no prevention, cure or approved disease-modifying intervention for Alzheimer’s disease.

Question 14

Q: What is early-onset Alzheimer's?

A: Early-onset Alzheimer's disease is when people under the age of 65 are diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.

Question 15

Q: What are other types of dementia besides Alzheimer’s disease?

A: Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia, but there are several other types as well. Vascular dementia is one of these other types, and it can sometimes occur after a stroke or brain injury. Symptoms of vascular dementia can include changes in thinking, memory, and behavior.

Question 16

Q: What are the Early Symptoms of Alzheimer’s?

A: The early symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease can include memory lapses, impaired thinking, speaking, reasoning, spatial issues, and judgement.

The Association also has a complete store on-site for any and all products that would make the lives of caregivers, patients, and seniors in general easier.

Question 23

Q: What else does the Alzheimer’s Research Association do to help caregivers?

A: The Alzheimer's Research Association has gathered information on products and services that can help caregivers and patients of Alzheimer's disease. They have looked at the problems and found some of the best solutions by doing extensive research for the best the marketplace has to offer.

Question 24

Q: How is the safety of the participant protected?

A: Clinical trials are regulated by ethical and legal codes to protect participants, and an IRB reviews the clinical research plan to make sure people in the research study will be treated fairly and that any risks will be explained to them.

Question 25

Q: What is translational research and why is it an important part of Alzheimer’s disease research?

A: Translational research is important because it allows knowledge from the laboratory to be applied as quickly as possible to new clinical tests or interventions.

Question 26

Q: What is basic research and why is it an important part of Alzheimer’s disease research?

A: Basic biomedical research helps scientists understand how and why Alzheimer's disease starts and progresses. This research is essential for developing therapies to fight the disease.

Question 27

Q: What kind of research do we do?

A: We don't do research to find a cure, but we do research to help caregivers more effectively support their Alzheimer's patients.

Question 28

Q: Why is inflammation in the brain important?

A: Neuroinflammation is caused by microglia, which are the most common cells in our brains.

Question 29

Q: What type of long-term follow-up care is part of this study?

A: The experimental treatment being tested may be effective because it has been tested before and hospitalization may be required. However, reimbursement for other expenses is unclear. Results of the trials may be provided to the participant.

Question 30

Q: How is Alzheimer’s Diagnosed?

A: There is no one definitive test for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease, but doctors can use a combination of physical exams, neuropsychological tests, and brain scanning to confirm the diagnosis with 90 percent accuracy.

Question 31

Q: How long do people live after getting diagnosed with Alzheimer’s?

A: The time from diagnosis of Alzheimer’s to the end of life varies. Life expectancy with Alzheimer’s can be as little as three years if the person is over 80 years old when diagnosed, or as long as ten years—or even longer—if the person is younger than 80 when diagnosed.

Question 32

Q: How is Alzheimer’s disease diagnosed?

A: There is no definitive way to diagnose Alzheimer's disease while a person is alive. The only way to definitively diagnose Alzheimer's disease is to find out whether there are plaques and tangles in brain tissue, which can only be done after a person dies.

Question 33

Q: How many people in the United States have Alzheimer’s disease?

A: Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative disease that affects the brain and nervous system. It is the most common form of dementia, and symptoms usually begin after age 60.

Question 34

Q: What causes Alzheimer’s disease?

A: The underlying cause of Alzheimer’s disease is not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to the loss of neurons and the accumulation of abnormal proteins in the brain.

Question 35

Q: What causes Alzheimer’s?

A: There is no single cause of Alzheimer’s disease. Instead, it is likely that a combination of genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors contribute to the development of the disease.

Question 36

Q: What is mild cognitive impairment?

A: Mild cognitive impairment is a condition in which people have more memory problems than normal for their age, but their symptoms are not as severe as in Alzheimer’s disease.

Question 37

Q: How do you detect Alzheimer’s before it’s too late?

A: 1. Get a brain scan.
2. Take cognitive tests.

Question 38

Q: How do you reverse Alzheimer’s Disease and Cognitive Decline?

A: The Carroll Institute's Signature Programs page discusses our proprietary application of the Bredesen Protocol to see how we have created a step-by-step method of mentoring people through Alzheimer's reversal.

Question 39

Q: How do I know if I qualify for a clinical trial?

A: Alzheimer's disease is a progressive degenerative disease of the brain that is characterized by memory loss, difficulty with cognitive tasks, and eventual loss of all brain function. Early signs of Alzheimer's disease include memory problems and changes in mood or behavior.
