These are the sights I used for information-

What is Alzheimer's disease?
Alzheimer's disease is where you become senial ( lose all of your memory) and then you die. When a person has it they look the same but they don't remember anything. About 26 million people in the world have Alzheimer's disease. Some of the environmental causes of Alzheimer's disease are Aluminum, Zinc, Food-Borne Poisons, and Viruses.

What research is being done about Alzheimer's disease? What is the treatment for Alzheimer's Disease?
Although there is no treatment or medicine that could stop the progression of Alzheimer's Disease, there are medicines that will slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Including, Aricept, EXELON Patch, and Namenda. Researchers have found that the Gingko Biloba herb might be away to cure or prevent Alzheimer's disease. Researchers also made a vaccine that could be shot into anyone who has Alzheimer's. It would train the body to fight the compounds that lead to brain problems. Research was stopped though because this vaccine was causing swollen brains. Researchers also found that Statins (cholesterol reducing medications) which had a positive effect on several people. The patients could relate to the sounds, people, colors, birthdays, etc. But this method hasn't been proven in experimental research. Researchers also found that asprin and acetaminophen had some effect on the patients. One treatment that has been proven untrue is Hormone replacement.

What current events are there about Alzheimer's disease?
In Cambridge, Massachusetts, "MIT engineers identified protein structures key to Alzheimer's disease, an
important step toward the development of new drugs that could prevent
such structures from forming."
1 Some new drugs were found that might help almost stop the disease. There aren't a lot of current events about Alzheimer's Disease, but they are finding drugs that might find the cure or close to the cure of Alzheimer's Disease. In the NY times there was an article about Alzheimer's Disease. It was about ways to stop Alzheimer's before the patient gets the disease. It isn't positive that it will work yet but this is how they would do it. The doctor would give the patient a drug before the patient got Alzheimer's and the patient wouldn't get Alzheimer's Disease.
Genetics about Alzheimer's Disease.
Alzheimer's Disease is actually a mutation and a chromosomal aberration in some cases of Alzheimer's. So I couldn't find a karyotype for Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's disease can be caused by both. Alzheimer's Disease isn't a single-gene disorder. Alzheimer's might mutate because of lack of Glucose but the Feinberg School of Medicine is not sure.

A Day In Life for an Alzheimer's Patient.
A day in life for an Alzheimer's Patient is very frustrating. First the person can't remember a lot about their past life or where anything is. Second the patient needs someone to be with them at all times. Someone with Alzheimer's Disease must stay with someone at all times or they could get lost. The patient doesn't feel much but the loved ones get really sad. The Alzheimer's Patient feels frustrated day to day. The patient can't really say how they feel so they have someone explain how he/she feels.
Vocabulary
Senile - showing a decline or deterioration of physical strength or mental
functioning, esp. short-term memory and alertness, as a result of old
age or disease.
Aberration - the act of departing from the right, normal, or usual course
