Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that is the most common type of dementia.AD includes 60_80% of dementia and most people with AD have more than 65 years old.AD causes losing neuronal activity by abnormal proteins. Plaques of beta-amyloid and tangles of “tau” protein can lead to AD. Recently evidence has found that AD may come from outside of central nerv...

The most popular animal models of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are transgenic mice expressing human genes with known mutations which do not represent the most abundant sporadic form of the disease. An increasing number of genetic, vascular and psychosocial data strongly support that the Octodon degus, a moderate-sized and diurnal precocial rodent, provides a naturalistic model for the study of the ...

Objective(s):Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common age-related neurodegenerative disorder. One of the hallmarks of AD is an abnormal accumulation of fibril forms of tau protein which is known as a microtubule associated protein. In this regard, inhibition of tau aggregation has been documented to be a potent therapeutic approach in AD and tauopathies. Unfortunately, the available syntheti...

background and objective: alzheimer’s disease (ad) is a multifactorial disease with debilitating consequences and few therapeutic strategies exist for it. with regard to antioxidant capacity and anti-β-amyloid polymerization potential of ellagic acid, this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of this substance on enhanced acetylcholinesterase reactivity in an experimental model of alzheim...

introduction:brain imaging with f-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18f-fdg) positron ‎emission tomography or tc-99m hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (‎99mtc-hmpao) spect is widely used for the evaluation of alzheimer's ‎dementia (ad); we aim to assess superiority of one method over the ‎other. methods: twenty four patients with clinical diagnosis of alzheimer disease ‎underwent 18f-fdg pet and ‎99mtc-...

alzheimer's disease (ad) is considered as the greatest thread to adults aged 65 and older. it stands as the most common cause of dementia, the prevalence of which is around 24 million worldwide. ad is a progressive and degenerative disorder that combats the neurons, leading to impairment of different cognitive functions. ad is characterized by an accumulation of two factors normally presen...

  Objective(s): Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder in elderly patients. Decrease in cholinergic neurotransmission is the main known cause in the pathophysiology of the disease. Improvement and potentiation of the cholinergic system could be beneficial for treatment of the AD. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors such as donepezil can enhance the duration of action of a...

Atopic dermatitis (AD) has long been associated with Staphylococcus aureus skin colonization or infection and is typically managed with regimens that include antimicrobial therapies. However, the role of microbial communities in the pathogenesis of AD is incompletely characterized. To assess the relationship between skin microbiota and disease progression, 16S ribosomal RNA bacterial gene seque...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of neurodegenerative disorders. Memory loss in an alert person and impairment in the function of language, attention, perception, judgment or problem solving can occur in patients with AD. However, there are some medications in order to delay the debilitating aspects of the disease; but unfortunately, scientists could not found approaches to cure...
